Then, Now, Tomorrow


THEN
“No one man can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his accomplices.” 
― 
Edward R. Murrow“Have you no sense of decency, sir?” ― Joseph N. Welch
 “In the blood-heat of pursuing the enemy, many people are forgetting what we are fighting for. We are fighting for our hard-won liberty and freedom; for our Constitution and the due processes of our laws; and for the right to differ in ideas, religion and politics. I am convinced that in your zeal to fight against our enemies, you, too, have forgotten what you are fighting for.” ― Julia Child
“Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party”1947-57  Stock question to those called before the House of Representatives Committee on Un-American Activities.
NOW
Trump issued a series of tweets on Sunday about the congresswomen, urging them to “go back” to the countries of their ethnic origins. However, three out of the four were born in America. Trump’s tweets were quickly condemned, with CNN going as far as to label them “racist  Sen. Lindsey Graham called Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other female representatives of color “a bunch of Communists” Monday on “Fox & Friends,” earning his statements four lauding tweets from President Trump.Mr. Trumpwas asked by a member of the media if it concerned him that many people considered his tweets racist and that “white nationalist groups are finding common cause with you”. He replied: “It doesn’t concern me because many people agree with me. All I’m saying, they want to leave, they can leave. Now, it doesn’t say leave forever. It says leave if you want.”
TOMORROW
Silence from the Republicans, Blessings from the American Christian Taliban, Wealthy Jewish Donors shelling out more money for Trump’s love of Israel (not American Jews), White Nationalist Newspapers and Blog providing a hearty Heil to Trump, The KKK resurging with a curious omen of more people of color in the South found dead, and churches burned. The Log Cabin Republicans will pronounce once again, it is about the economics not how and who you love. The Dem Leadership will demand bi-partisan apologies, and more subpoenas (receiving none) However many men and women running for the office of President will explain how if THEY are elected things will change, never once explaining that  IF means something is done to stop Russian hacking, and most importantly win a large majority in the Senate. And a liar, money launderer, a puppet of Putin, thief and a man suffering from forms of narcissistic psychotic paranoia remains in office…because the GOP remains SILENT!
