Could Trump Flip Blue States Red at Gunpoint?
Last week, Trump posted a stolen valor war meme on his failing, Nazi-infested social media site, with the bonespurs-draft-dodger wearing a US Army Cavalry hat and the slogan, paraphrased from the movie Apocalypse Now:
White Nationalism Isn’t the Fringe — It’s the Future Republicans are Building
Senator Eric Schmitt took the stage at the National Conservatism Conference this past weekend and declared that America is “a nation and a people.” With those five words he threw aside the pluralism that has defined this country since before its founding and embraced an ideology rooted in blood and soil, in exclusion and hierarchy. He
When Government Is Afraid of the People, Tyranny Has No Chance
Because of the decision made this week by the doughiest white boy on the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, to allow racial profiling by ICE, 65 million Hispanic Americans now live in terror of the police, carrying their passports and dreading traffic stops or shopping at Home Depot.
Killer Democracy: How a Corrupt Supreme Court Turned Debate Into Death
“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” — Charlie Kirk
The “Both Sides” Scam: How False Balance Fuels Extremism
As a guy who regularly gets death threats because of my media presence, I shouldn’t have to say that killing people — or even threatening them — for their politics is wrong. But here it is, for the record: nobody in America should die for their politics.

Saturday Report - What if Tyler Robinson isn’t a leftie?
— What if Tyler Robinson isn’t a leftie? Increasingly, as Joy Reid reports, it appears that Kirk’s alleged assassin is a rightwing “Groyper” gamer, not a leftie. This is a hard right hate-driven group/gamer-subculture that disdained Kirk as a Republican establishment sellout. Keep an eye on this story, particularly since if this reporting turns out to b…

Google MICHAEL MORELL TRUMP RUSSIAN AGENT
August 5, 2016, former CIA DEPUTY DIRECTOR MICHAEL MORELL warned the world that Trump is a Russian agent, he was almost universally ignored. The media doesn't' want to think, it just wants a horse race.
Trumps actions and inactions for 9 years have consistently favored Russian interests and disfavored the interests of the US and its longtime allies an friends including Ukraine, NATO, the EU, the UK, actions speak 10 million times louder than words.
For 9 years Trump has been walking a fine line between doing all he can for his mentor and master Putin, and tipping his hand so obviously that not even America's media can ignore it.
Trump's recent grab of 10% of INTEL (a shakedown for protection money) was a pure Putin play, this is how Putin became the richest man on earth, by shaking down the Oligarchs for protection money.
Nutshell, KGB began courting Trump circa 1977. Circa 1995 the Russian Mafia (aka KGB, FSB) saved Trump's ass from bankruptcy 6 by laundering hundreds of millions through Trump Real Estate, when no western banks would touch him again.
Since then they've owned his ass. His only way out is death. Trump has said "I know Putin very well, we get along very well," true, the Trump + Putin Connection goes back at least 30 years.
Putin the KGB man pulled off the greatest intel op in history, inserting a Russian agent, asset, or spy, as President of the United States, twice.
Knowing that enough Americans are so dumb, gullible, naive, they'd elect a Russian agent, asset, or spy, President of the United States.
So naive they simply cannot believe that a President could be a Russian spy. For Russia, Trump is a 40-year one man sleeper cell.
Although there are others in the Trump administration now who may also be part of the Krasnos project.
HARTMANN needs to quit beating around this bush and cut to the chase.
Recently the President of Portugal publicly acknowledged this obvious reality, said "Trump is a Russian agent."
40 years ago Russian intel psychiatrists quickly saw that Trump was a rising star in America, and he was so profoundly insecure, narcissistic, needy, gullible, dumb, ignorant, and naive, that he would be very easy to manipulate with flattery and money.
Watch the vid of Trump greeting Putin on the red carpet in Anchorage. Body language, he has a flaming daddy crush on Putin. He would sell his soul and America for a nod of approval and a pat on the head from his sugar daddy, "Good boy!" and he goes all weak in the knees.
2017, Helsinki, Trump stood by Putin on stage and said, "I trust Putin more than I trust American intelligence," that should have told America everything, Trump is Putin's pet puppy puppet, then he rolls out the red carpet for the worst living war criminal in Alaska, the only American president ever to suck up to a Russian dictator.
Overwhelming circumstantial evidence, see the big picture, connect the dots.
See the SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE REPORT ON RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN THE 2016 ELECTION, while it did not find specific conclusive evidence of "collaboration," it did find hundreds of contacts between Trump staffers and Russia in 2016.
Where there's a lot of smoke there may be a fire.
