LaramieHirsch, you voted for Trump?? Viva Cristo Rey, you've fallen for the propaganda. :-[What makes the big lie respectable is when respectable people support the big lie. When Donald Trump was blathering about the "beautiful babies" as an excuse for the strike on Syria, I would have thought that would be the last torpedo necessary to sink the Good Ship Trump. A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I voted for George H W Bush as the "lesser of two evils"
. Then six months later, after the Chinese rolled over students with tanks in Tiananmen square, Bush was telling the Chinese thugs not to worry, this will not upset their "most favored nation" trading status, I vowed I would never support any politician who was not 120% Catholic. (Shouting "Viva Cristo Rey" at rallies would be a good start.)
Don't fall for the propaganda. Trump is throwing a few microscopic crumbs from the altar of Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ for you hungry dogs out there. So, just a few questions:
Has Donald trump even hinted at an investigation into 911, the Kennedy Assassination, or Iran Contra, let alone Pizzagate? No.
Has he indicted Hillary Clinton? No.
Has he told the military to stop spraying the American people like lab rats? No.
Has he even given a whiff of an indication he is for fiscal sanity; has the rampant spending of the American government even slowed down? No.
Has Trump reduced American interventionalism overseas to the effect that we have seen a net reduction of even one soldier? No
Has Trump even made a dent in reversing the flood of regulations and agencies in his country? No.
Has Trump done anything to help the California DWR avert a catastrophe at Oroville dam? No.
Has Trump done anything to de-militarize American police forces? No.
Has Trump given the American people anything other than moronic boiler-plate rhetoric? No.
Has Trump indicated he is going to treat the sheeple any differently than a vacuum cleaner salesman? No.
Rather Trump has:
Given the green light to the oil companies to ransack the environment of Canada and build a pipeline to oil refineries in Texas that will destroy valuable Indian land in the Dakotas.
Given the green light to the EPA to regulate every drop of rain and spring discharge on the fruited plains, a k a harass every well owner and rain barrel user.
Given the green light to the Pentagon brass to use every means at its disposal to foment WW3.
Introduced his own version of socialized "medicine" (which in reality is pharma-geddon and industrial organ harvesting). (Apparently, the peabrains of Trump and the gang are much too minute to conceptualize anything remotely resembling the hospital systems of the '50's, where generous private donors subsidized doctors helping the poor without one dime of government funding.)
Trump is making even Baby Bush look like the good ol' days. But the sheeple will be waving their banners and cheering even as this man initiates marshal law and dispatches the goony squads... or... as Queen I'm-a-Dolly (Don't even get me started on the first Star Wars prequil- The Phantom Movie.) put it... "This is how freedom dies: ...to thunderous applause." (One of those finer moments in the prequils that one can count with the fingers of one hand.)
Our Lord lamented over Jerusalem, and I'm sure He would have wept over Sodom, but I will find it hard to shed any tears for the sheeple who are snapping selfies the minute before they get swept away by the tsunami, or barbecued by a Tzar Bomba, or drowned by a rain bomb, or shot by a straving dope addict in search of a Twinkie, or whatever might trigger the GEC (global economic collapse).
Please show me there is hope for humanity.
Please show me you have more intelligence than a drunken golden retriever.
The political theatre is so absurd I don't even follow it anymore. We have surpassed the Roman Empire.
The Romans had their vomitoriums, but they were not disgusting sodomites (on the whole).
It's hard to imagine Romans snapping selfies as they fall off cliffs.
So far as I know Rome never tried to legalize beastiality and pedestry.
I don't recall the Romans theorizing we are descended from baboons.
Even Romans knew how to do basic math, which seems to be beyond the capabilities of graduates of outcome based education, a misnomer which should be relabeled "no-outcome based indoctrination".
Even Roman slaves knew how to use a shovel and pound a nail; our slaves don't even know how to eat Twinkies.
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us, you are our only hope.
