After the attack in Venezuela, and now the threats to Greenland and the killing of the

woman Minneapolis, you can feel the tension in this country increasing. But, Trump is going to continue provoking everyone domestically and abroad and then profit from the chaos he creates.

The Republicans in Congress need to come to their senses now. Trump has been exceeding his power and it's time to rein him in. For the good of the country.

But too many of our fellow citizens continue to embrace the pollyannish delusion that all is well and our governmental institutions and rule of law will ultimately save our society from destruction.. To them I say "Wake the F**K up"!!!

How deeper down the rabbit hole can he possibly take us?

Never mind. I'm sorry I asked.

Forget about anyone doing anything about this unless we, the citizens, do it. And that ain’t happening anytime soon.

Like it or not, this is who we are as a country. We’re imperialists, we’re colonizers, we’re slavers, we’re murderers and bad guys. Always have been, always will be. All in the name of the almighty capitalism, the “greatest system ever created™️.”

All Piss has done is thrown off the facade of the “good guy” we’ve always pretended to be but never actually were.

I’m sorry if this is shocking to anyone. We’ve been well indoctrinated to think otherwise.
