  1. I strongly recommend you watch the ACLU video on Youtube about the history of the confederacy. It is just a start to understanding racism and oppression in the USA. And no, this stuff is not taught in the history books because they are whitewashed to sell in states like Texas and Florida.

    1. You have the Freedom in America to Take Care of Yourself, or not

      You have the Freedom in America to Succeed, or not

      You don’t get to Enslave Taxpayers to your Cash for Flunkers ideology

      The incredible ignorance, ego, greed and his remarks to run for president some day attracted Putin to help him win to destroy the USA.
      Trump is compromised, at the least. People who didn’t live during the Cold War (those who paid attention) and the collapse of USSR don’t realize how much is at stake nor how much Putin hates and is resentful of America and the West. Trump doesn’t get, or care, that Putin was a KGB officer who is slick and far more superior in intellect than he and his ability of playing mind games.
      Putin knows to flatter Trump, lie and feed him disinformation, propaganda and play up the conspiracy theories Trump believes to get Trump attention and loyalty. Never considering that Putin is only loyal to himself, like Trump.
      Trump has no business having Putin as a phone buddy with only a translator and I don’t know why those who understands the danger doesn’t step in to stop the nonsense. (And that’s putting it lightly.)
      I suspect I’m preaching to the choir but others who have yet to know or grasp how dangerous this game Trump is playing, while being played, will be alerted.

    3. @Selah Well written and spot on.
      That’s why I’m doing what I’m doing in an attempt to inject some facts (not Lysol) into the monster of lies and false information created by Donald John Trump and his henchmen.
      I’m a veteran and I’m almost as old as the Collaborator in Thief, I remember both him and the Cold War all too well.
      We are not going to let them get away with it!

      I’m three score and several years so I’m not far behind you and I clearly remember those times.
      When the USSR existed the government didn’t have the money to keep up with the USA or Europe regarding intelligence and technology other than their space program, and so JFK decided that the USA needed to step up, which you know we did.
      Since their collapse, Russia has the technology and created millions and billions of funding. Mostly, at the beginning, through money laundering and still to this day.
      This affords them everything needed to undermine, and mess with, USA elections and other countries are trying to, also.
      It isn’t only Russia, although Putin has greatly personalized it so and has a personal vested interest to destroy USA and the West, other countries like North Korea.
      For Trump to embrace Putin, Erdogn, Kim Young Un and their ilk is truly insane. Especially so since he’s been alienating USA allies and this is extremely dangerous to our national security.
      (Again, for the benefit of alerting people.)
      To add: I’m a born and raised USA citizen but lived in Spain a few years before and after the dictator, Franco, ruled. Needless to say, the situation with Trump makes me very uneasy after actually living and witnessing the reality of a government ruled by a dictator. I see the signs and sometimes I get so upset I have to walk away, breath and pray.
      Too many are clueless, about one third it seems. Aye, well, populist thrive off of being adored and other than people like you and me to hopefully open their eyes, we must vote.
      Of course, you know this!
      Thank you for your service!!!
      ✌️

    1. To support a repulsive creep’s depraved behaviour, you have to be a repulsive creep yourself.
      It’s that simple.

    2. Speaking of the repulsive lardarse, what is the major difference between a bean and a chickpea?

      The major difference between a bean and a chickpea is of course that Vladimir Vladimirovitch Putin doesn’t own a video of Donald John Trump watching a bean.

    1. Autumn Blues honestly every time someone from the rest of the world hears an American say America is the greatest country in the world and Americans say it a lot, we all have a little chuckle. It is so ridiculous.

    1. @Oliver Seiler I’m pretty sure u MAGA dogs won’t live to see the other end of the I-85…🤣🤣🤣👎

    1. Gorge Davies You’re literally named after a crack in a mountain. You have no room to talk about names.

  2. This is so sad. You can’t get real justice, so your only option is to stage a play? Maybe with a new president, some attention can go to real victims instead of the leader of the country considering himself the victim of everything.

  3. Somebody needs to make a film about the prosecution and imprisonment of Donald Trump.
    Then make it so in real life.
