From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)

In preparation for what is going to happen at 10AM tomorrow in DC, Hounds has released this song.

It’ll be on streaming services on Tuesday.

So... this is the loudest, hardest-driving, most unforgiving Hounds song ever released. And it’s extremely NSFW.

But the situation calls for such an anthem.
Hounds, “Hands Off DC”

He’s also saying that if YOUR job goes away IT DOESN’T COUNT because bad jobs numbers make HIM look bad.

Somebody needs to be launched into the sun and it’s not the Bureau of Labor Statistics chief.
WSJ tells it like it is in the subhead: "The president’s move throws the quality of America’s statistical apparatus into question". Other news orgs should be that direct, too. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Premise of this post:
When Americans hear "fascism," they usually think "Hitler." For Godwin's law + other reasons, that's an over-the-top analogy.

Instead IMO we should think "Mao." Imminent threat for US is more like Chinese Cultural Revolution.
