John Oliver just did a great show on Bob Murray, the mine operater who got 9 miners killed in Utah disaster because he is greedy--ignored mine safety regs. 1/
Murray is a rotten, despicable human being. I remember Crandall Mine Disaster and how he sequestered families of victims, telling them press was their enemy 2/
His real aim was to keep public uninformed about corner-cutting in his mines. He pretended to be miner's advocate while quashing family's questions 3/
I remember. He's maintained innocence while being shown guilty as hell. Read the findings of his guilt

So what happens to criminals who get people killed in pursuit of money?

In TrumpWorld they get to run the show 5/ google.com/amp/s/www.nyti…
And yet. Utah is still in the pockets of these casual killers running dirty, polluting industries that care more for money than their kid's future #utpol

Thoughts on RW fixation with “violent” Left.

Besides being pure projection, there’s a history of brutal movements/regimes accusing opponents of horrific crimes. QAnon not the first to claim foes eat children. 1/
Medieval Christians murdered Jewish neighbors for supposedly drinking the blood of Christian children in bizarre rituals. These pogroms (anti-Semitic riots) cost tens of thousands of innocent lives, if not more 2/
More recently, fascists used tales of Lefty violence, real and imagined, to whip up their base. The Nazi attack on Jews known as Kristallnacht (also called the November Pogrom) was triggered by the murder of a German diplomat in Paris by a Jew. 3/

With the eyes of the nation on Utah, let me tell you how rotten and profoundly corrupt Utah’s deep, dark red Republican government truly is
1/
It is so corrupt Republican electeds don’t see their rottenness. Here Utah’s Governor compares self to “Available Jones”, from comic “Li’l Abner”. Jones was a sleazy lawyer who would do anything for money 2/

Back in Bush W era, knew Nazi comparisons were an immediate conversation killer. So I read everything I could get my hands on about another European country that went fascist at same time, just to understand process 1/
Spain. The Spanish Civil War,
Spain in Their Hearts, Looking for Trouble, Homage to Catalonia (a recollection by George Orwell, who fought on the Republican side--more on that later) are good books to start 2/
I chose the Spanish Civil War (1933-1936) because Americans know nothing about it. It is about how Spain was held under fascist dictatorship for four decades. The Bad Guys won 3/

If you support @realDonaldTrump, you're part of the problem
If you admire Trump's business practices that just tells me I don't want to do business with you

#cheat #Liar #ScamArtist
If you admire his "success" with women, that tells me I don't want you within a million miles of my female friends and family
