Trump on militarized cities: ‘A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we’d like a dictator’

msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/m…

This is treasonous activity, sending armed forces into an American city and saying "people want a dictator". There should be no Federal troops in any city in the US, it's Un-American and Unconstitutional.... and then to top that off with talk of being asked to be a dictator: _this is treason_.

Trump on militarized cities: ‘A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we’d like a dictator’

As Donald Trump suggests that “a lot” of people have voiced support for “a dictator,” it's hard not to wonder who, exactly, the Republican was referring to.

As China Disappears People and Histories, An Artist Fights Back

Authoritarian states often silence critics of their policies by jailing them or forcing them into exile. Yet they also aim to create a unified narrative about the nation’s history, and any past event that threatens the established power structure can be subject to disappearance or revision. This can also mean removing individuals associated with past dissent from public circulation and public memory, so that future generations will ideally not know that such dissent ever existed.

Major figures in Chinese political and business life have continued to vanish, the fate of each one proving the maxims: in an authoritarian state, you are powerful, until you are not.

"So what do people actually like about trucks? According to Edwards, the answer is counterintuitive. Truck drivers use their trucks very much like other car owners: for commuting to and from work, presumably alone. The thing that most distinguishes truck owners from those of other vehicles is their sheer love of driving. “The highest indexed use among truck owners is pleasure driving,” says Edwards."

This is weird (if not dumb) - a sports car would be much more fun to drive, no?

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

This is the Woke message. Take it to heart and live by it.

You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? ...

“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

No Kings

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. It rises up everywhere else.

Promoting Vouchers to Destroy Public Education - Green Social Thought

It is clear that the motive for financing voucher adoption has never been about improved education or democratic principles. Pro-voucher billionaires are using their stolen opulence to end taxpayer funded education for all.
