It’s Looking Like There Will Be Blood
This guy notes:
A Trumpster trains his mounted military-grade sniper rifle on peaceful protesters in Weatherford, Texas. This is a class C felony weapons intimidation, but Texas police didn’t bother with him or interfere with his white supremacists friends when they violently attack a group of Black Lives Matter protesters. This will eventually end in a massacre, and the police are no longer enforcing the law against racist criminals killing peaceful protesters. What do you think happens next?
Good question; this really is a recipe for a massacre, and Texas law enforcement will have oceans of blood on their hands if it takes place. This is true whether shots are fired a few minutes after this photo was taken, or when Trump is removed from office. In either case, failure to enforce weapons laws lays the groundwork for mass shootings.
This meme got me thinking: Is this really what kids are learning? A few points:
Given the honor and devotion to country required to make it to the top ranks of the U.S. Military, it’s hard to think of anything these people find satisfactory about Donald Trump as their Commander-in-Chief.
To think that he could have gotten away scot free had we not had the pandemic. He would have sailed right past all the lies and the criminality, and probably won a second term and installed himself as absolute ruler had he not faced this specific type of challenge, i.e., one that requires honesty to address.
Some folks find the current crises too much to deal with. Pandemic raging due to criminal mismanagement, Trump breaking down rule of law and committing more impeachable acts on a daily basis, cops murdering black people, unmarked shock troops indiscriminately pulling protesters into custody–and these are just the recent ones.
Here we have unmarked federal troops armed with war weapons, shown beating two medics who were treating an injured and apparently unconscious man. If you have the stomach for it, you can watch them crack their heavy wooden batons against the doctors’ helpless bodies and smash them with their boots

These two shoppers, shown here in a Minnesota Walmart, will be casting their ballots for Trump in November.
Seems like a solid approach to me. As we all know, viruses, as well as pathogens of all types, respond very well to right-wing extremism, torrential lies, and the belief system of Evangelical Christians.
This is exactly the way I’d feel if I lived in Portland.
