Our National Embarrasement

 “Oh, say can you see, by the dawns early light…”

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents carried out a raid on a Newark business Thursday, detaining non-citizens and citizens alike, the city’s mayor and the agency confirmed. The incident comes three days after President Donald Trump reiterated on Inauguration Day his campaign pledge to launch a mass deportation of undocumented immigrants. (NJ.com)

 

In Nazi Germany and the Nazi occupied countries, this was called “PAPERS PLEASE.” Anyone that the Gestapo (ICE) considered NOT ACCEPTABLE was stopped and had to show their papers, and it was at the discretion of the Gestapo whether or not those papers were valid.

 

“What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming…”

About a week after Donald Trump was elected to a second term, the president-elect spoke at a House Republican conference meeting and made a comment that raised a few eyebrows. “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s so good, we’ve got to figure something else out,’” Trump said, presumably as some kind of joke.  Rep. Andy Ogles’ bill to amend the Constitution and empower Donald Trump to seek a third term will inevitably fail. That doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant. (MSNBC)

 

It ain’t no joke; it IS one more Trump narcissistic projection, saying out loud what his intentions are, were, and will be. Nd who exactly is fooled by them or taken aback? And as long as the Republican Party remains the Fascist Party this very scary bull shit will be a priority.

 

“Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight…”

Republicans, out to protect you from Trans Folk using a bathroom appropriate for themselves, play acting indignation, while at the same time giving zero fucks regarding the release of Domestic Terrorists on January 6Th

 

Be afraid of where a person ‘tinkles,’ or takes a shit, but ignore the guys and gals who tried to overthrow our government.
