Under a Blood Red Sky
With apologies to U2, I thought of this title as soon as I saw the threatening sky on May 1. That is May Day and it is bigly celebrated in Red Square in Moscow. The Russian military marches for several hours and they bring out their enormous missiles, tanks, trucks, and thousands upon thousands of goose stepping soldiers while Putin stands taking it all in as any megalomaniacal dictator would. This is the kind of parade Trump wants in Washington, D.C. to show the world he is the Big Shot of the Western World.
Well, I have been sitting much of the time these past 18 years in this same room working on the computer and making prints and listening to CNN, MSNBC, or C-SPAN in the background. Yet, I have never seen such a sky. Red sky, Red Square. I sat here thinking about it.
Has the US become an unwitting annex of Putin's Russia because of the guy who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Do you have cable tv? Does your cable system have America ONE on it? If so, you are watching extreme right wing propaganda, much of which comes from Moscow and people like Alex Jones. Putin must love it. Does it worry you that Trump does not seem concerned at all that America's 2016 election process was hacked by Russia? It's right in the Mueller Report if you would take the time to read it. Mueller comes right out and states the Russians were at fault, and so did our 17 national security agencies. But Trump denies it. After all, he even said he knows more than the generals. And it scary that the three generals he had working in the White House are all gone now. And one of them is off to federal prison for being an agent of a foreign nation (Michael Flynn who was working for Turkey while also working for th U.S.).
If this does not bother you, fellow Americans, I am even more frightened of our future. Russia will interfere in 2020 in order to get their stooge re-elected. Enough is enough. It is past time to start impeachment hearings. If the Senate refuses to get rid of Trump, America will be faced with 4 more years of a constant assault on the democratic process. Trump will declare himself KING and his family of grifters and thieves will take over the government. It will be worse than 1776. At least King George was intelligent. We have a President who is nothing more than a TV reality star who knows how to manipulate the media. We now know that he built up his "fortune" by stiffing people and using other peoples money, heavily leveraged to the point that he may actually be in debt. We cannot know without an examination of his taxes for the past 9 years.
He now has a toady Attorney General who, rather than represent America, is now Trump's Roy Cohn, a personal attorney who will stick his nose up at the Rule of Law. Remember, though, NO ONE is above the law. The day of reckoning soon awakes (I hope) when Mueller testifies before Congress and when Congress is able to obtain Trump's tax returns and also re investigates Donald Trump, Jr., a pretty shady character himself, but then the acorn never falls far from the tree, and that certainly includes Ivanka.
Think about it, America. Do we want to be Under a Blood Red Sky???
