The Russia/Trump call - Last week, Trump made his long anticipated call to Vladimir Putin, the evil Dictator who holds the Russian people under his iron first of oppression. When a President calls a foreign leader, we make a recording of the call, and an official transcript is released to the media. Funny! The Trump Administration intentionally turned off all of the recording devices for that specific conversation. It also has no plans to release ANY transcript of what the two leaders talked about. The response from the Republicans so far has been yawns and scratched asses; uninterested ambivalence. If Hillary Clinton was the President, and it was discovered she had a conversation with China where she pulled the same stunt, OH MY GOD! EVERY Republican politician would be screaming EVERYWHERE about immediate investigations, asking "what did they discuss?!?" More than a few would be screaming for an immediate impeachment vote. Republican media, especially in small town America, would be running story after story about "Crooked Hillary in cahoots with Beijing!" Every Republican voter you know would be filling every social media feed with meme after meme about how we can't trust Hillary, and how she's handing over America to a foreign power! People wonder how Austria would choose to freely hand themselves over to Germany...
Prayer Breakfast - I'm going to post a photo meme which points out the subtle differences between President Obama and President Trump's Prayer Breakfast messages:
Subtle! Remind you: a shocking amount of Americans think Obama HATED Christianity, but think Trump is Jesus incarnate on Earth! Their hypocrisy in regards to what behavior they're willing to 'forgive as Christians' for each man speaks for itself.
Yemen - It's not exactly clear what happened leading up to, and during, the Navy Seal/Yemen raid in January. The Trump Administration made the decision to send in the forces, even though the military said they didn't have enough re-con of the area, and support troops for the mission. One Navy Seal died, two were injured and at least one 8 year old American girl was shot and killed. There are rumors many more civilian casualties occurred, as the Navy Seals had to shoot their way out of a mess. Instead of anyone calling for an investigation to find out who gave the orders and what exactly happened, most Republicans are promoting the lame excuse 'this was something President Obama had wanted to do, so even though he was already out of office, hence could not order the troops to do anything, he's responsible for Trump making the call.' Trump, during the raid, was not in the situation room getting briefed, rather (and you can't make this crap up) tweeting in his bed. The GOP House and Senate were planning on starting their 8th and 9th Benghazi investigations, even though the first 7 investigations had cleared the Obama Administration and Hillary Clinton of any wrongdoing. So far, not only have no Republican politicians called for an investigation into the Yemen raid, but there's only silence from the same people who screamed their throats raw with cries of "BENGHAAAAAZIIIII!!!!"
There are MANY more examples I could point out (Goldman Sachs, threatening Australia/Mexico, the obscene spending of taxpayer dollars for personal reasons for the First family), but how about one where the outrage meter has gone the other way:
Calls for Killing all Liberals: During the campaign, pro-Trump violence towards protesters was called Freedom of Speech, American values, and nothing to concern anyone with. We have tons of video evidence of Trump supporter violence. Didn't matter, as the right dismissed it as harmless fun. Since the Inauguration, there have been numerous protests, including the largest protest EVER in the USA, the day after Trump was sworn in. Outside of one Nazi getting repeatedly punched in the face, and the specific case of UC-Berkeley (where it's likely right wing extremists, looking to make the left look bad, infiltrated the protesters and rioted) the protests have been extremely peaceful, but passionate. After the falsely created 'Liberal Uprising at Berkeley,' spokespeople for the right are floating a new theme - "Shoot all liberals in the head to teach them a lesson!" Here's a conversation excerpt which was begun by a leader in the Alt-Right movement:
Thats one of HUNDREDS of conversations I've seen in the last two days, talking about armed uprising against the Democrats and Liberals. Many of these conversations are being encouraged by leaders in the modern Republican Party.
And here's a link to a story about a Michigan politician calling for gunning down protesters, stating "One bullet stops a lot of thuggery," but now insisting the Liberals took him out of context!
Okay Anti-American, sadistic, murder fantasizing, racist Nazi gun kooks, let me ask you a few things. Where would you start? A Gay pride parade? A minority school in the inner city? A Mexican Heritage pride celebration? A coffee house in a liberal area of a town? Is that where you'll build your front lines? You think the police will be on your side? Sure some racist, white supremacist cops will be working for you, but since we have no national police force, you'd have to infiltrate department after department, nationwide, at city, county and state levels, installing people who will openly turn on their sworn duty at a prearranged time. Yeah, that's not going to happen, so most police won't be on your side. And the military? You think a fighting force with a large African American and Latino element will openly start firing on inner city communities just because the district happened to vote Democrat the last 50 years? The US Military will kick your asses! And how about the Democrats who own guns, personal defense weapons and hunting weapons. You may have 100 guns, but you can only fire one at a time effectively, braintrust! No real advantage there. Nope, you guys would wet yourself and frantically blame someone else for starting it. You're a bunch of freaking cowards.
Expect more of the mighty hypocrisy! Can't wait...
