I had a lighter posting queued up for today, but the world feels like it is spinning even more out of control thanks to the Idiot-in-Chief aka El puta pendejo naranja.
Robert Reich is my type of crusader.
Do your part – PROTEST!
What blows me away is that there are still folks out there happy that they voted for this incompetent, arguably mentally unhinged monster. This is an America I thought I would never see.
Various sources are estimating that the military parade will cost $45 million. Street repairs afterwards are estimated to cost $16 million. Whether that last amount is included in the $45 million I do not know. This at a time when the Republicans are hell bent on cutting services and benefits to the most needy among us, being the good Christians that they are.
As a reminder here is the famous poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller:
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
