Some Photos are Simply Iconic.


And this is one. In Portland, one of Trump's goon squad confronts a member of the Wall of Moms. Well, small mercies, at least he didn't shoot her.  These women, most dressed in yellow t-shirts, have been turning out to form a wall between BLM protesters and Trump provocateurs. Would they dare turn on the moms?

It looks like he is choking her.

He is forcing her back, Toby. Choking her? I don't know. There is a Darth Vader versus little blonde house mom element that's pretty striking. Those women are to be admired for positioning themselves between the BLM protesters and the Good Squads.

This is what fascism looks like. The chickens have come home to roost. The master tought the students of Argentina, El Salvador and Colombia at Ft. Benning and watched their reigns of terror with approval. Now it's time for the master to show how it's done. Watch for the kidnappings in unmarked vehicles to progress to torture and rape sessions, then disappearances.

Trump is on a mission to sow dissent and therebuy his popularity.
That he is about to send in his Greenshirts to Chicago and other cities in anticipation of demonstrations is appalling.
The endgame seems to be create conflict.
The right wing media is alive with anticipation of military countermeasures.
The end of America, or end of days, has begun, TIC.

It's called extraordinary rendition IYP.
Tongue in cheek; will the lady shown find herself in Guantanamo?

It's not hard to imagine Trump's shock troops classifying long lines of voters as violent mobs in November. If they get reprimanded in court later, they won't care; the election will be over by then.

It's now clear that this is Trump's campaign platform for November. He's the "law and order" president. His attorney general/waterboy, Barr, has figured out the Portland expedition could backfire and land Trump in deep legal trouble. So he's reframing the Chicago expedition as a collaborative effort to be integrated with state and city authorities. Portland, we'll just forget about that.

Portland has all the hallmarks of a Trump brain fart. It's blunt, crude and totally impulsive with no regard to what it could possibly achieve. It was a 'little green men' operation intended to let those Democratic bastards know that Trump and his forces were never very far away.

Now we've heard Barr outline LGM Mk.2 but a) Barr is a chronic dissembler in devoted service to an imperial presidency and, b), America is still in the grip of an imperial presidency and Trump does as Trump wishes. Christ, it took him six months before he could bring himself to endorse Covid masks.

Isn’t Yoo one of Trumps favorite people?

Anyong, anyone who tells Trump exactly what he wants to hear becomes "one of Trump's favourite people."

Perhaps Trump is trying to create so much civil unrest he can declare a national emergency at election time?
