"It is possible - given absolute control over the media and the police - to rewrite the memories of hundreds of millions of people, if you have a generation to accomplish it in. Almost always, this is done to improve the hold that the powerful have on power, or to serve the narcissism or megalomania or paranoia of national leaders. It throws a monkey wrench into the error-correcting machinery. It works to erase public memory of profound political mistakes, and thus to guarantee their eventual repetition."
— Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World
The world is on edge today because of this fucking moron. He’s a felon, a rapist, a pedophile now threatening to wipe out a civilization.
A special “FUCK YOU” to his enablers and the 77 million who looked at this ignoramus and said, “Yep, that’s our guy.”
If you STILL support Donald Trump at this point, then you’re really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really FUCKING STUPID.
Donald Trump is a man of very low character whose whole life demonstrates it.
Robert Mueller was a man of very high character whose whole life demonstrated it.
The great division in our country is between people who understand these basic facts, and those who reject them.
From the citation accompanying the Bronze Star (with V for combat valor) that Marine Second Lieutenant Robert Mueller received for his actions in 1968, during the Vietnam War—the war Trump avoided:
“With complete disregard for his own safety, he then skillfully supervised the evacuation of casualties from the hazardous area and, on one occasion, personally led a fire team across the fire-swept area terrain to recover a mortally wounded Marine who had fallen in a position forward of the friendly lines.”
Months later, still serving our country in the war that Trump avoided, Mueller was wounded again, shot in the leg.
“I consider myself exceptionally lucky to have made it out of Vietnam,” Mueller told author Garrett Graff years later. “There were many—many—who did not. And perhaps because I did survive Vietnam, I have always felt compelled to contribute."
Robert Mueller went on to serve our country honorably in many other ways. His rock-solid integrity as a public official—and as a private citizen—will stand as an example and inspiration to all who learn about him, long after Donald Trump is gone.
So that’s nice. Trump has shown that the US military & intelligence services are powerful enough to take out the leaders of Iran & replace them with the next leaders of Iran who are their relatives & now hate us even more.
Big fucking deal.
@HQNewsNow It should be painfully obvious to everyone by now: Trump doesn’t care. He doesn’t care about anything or anyone other than himself. Everyone else is expendable. Everyone.
If Trump wants boots on the ground in Iran, he should deploy the ICE agents. They've spent months in American cities strutting around like elite military forces. Let’s see how brave and courageous they really are. They can even wear their masks. Now is the time. #FreeIran#ICE
Pope Leo XIV responds to the Christian Zionists who showed up in the Oval Office to bless Trump's immoral war. "War is not holy; only peace is holy because it is willed by God."
