I disagree about despot Trump failing to respond to the Jan. 6 #insurrection. He didn't fail to respond, he just didn't respond as "president," which he never truly was.

The Jan. 6 insurrection was, and still is, EVERYTHING to Trump because he cannot tolerate being a loser.
... 2) He cannot accept that 81,000,000 Americans in the largest election turnout ever told him, “We don’t want you!” He was not going to simply watch his effort to become authoritarian tyrant fall apart.

This racist scandal in Los Angeles City Council is horrifying.

There are three council members who need to resign: 2) Councilmember Gil Cedillo, representing the First District (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angel…)

Councilmember Nury Martinez, representing the Sixth District (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angel…)

Councilmember Kevin de León, representing the Fourteenth District (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angel…)

#Italy is returning to its fascist roots of WWII with the installation of "Ms. Mussolini" as Prime Minister right now.

The fascist event twisting the European Union is dangerously in the midst of its other challenges ... 2) (Putin's invasion of Ukraine bordering the EU, Erdoğan's Turkey in a tenuous relationship, Britain's BREXIT still roiling Europe, authoritarian tyrant Orbán's Hungary inside the EU, and Putin's threats of expansion into nearby EU and pre-EU countries). ...

Today's revelation about a call from within the White House to an insurrectionist on Jan. 6 is a good reason to repost this:

Instead, Trump was holed up in private for 3 hours trying to make his insurrection succeed. ...

[I spent four hours walking around the 'People's Convoy.' Here's what I learned.

Many readers dismissed my op-ed on the far-right’s ... 2) “People’s Convoy.” I had called the movement a success — whether we want to admit it or not. And it hit a nerve. “I think you’ve given this stunt way too much credit. Its goals and objectives weren’t fulfilled,” one person commented. Another said, “No, it was a huge waste ...

For @TheDemocrats and @POTUS @JoeBiden:

Once again, "It's the Economy, Stupid!" We must rein in inflation and high gas prices immediately. Voting rights and Build Back Better benefits are pie-in-the-sky compared to inflation NOW. ... 2) Americans have always proved they care more about money than democracy. #StopINFLATIONnow is what Americans want.

Republican despot Donald "Jim Jones" Trump broke the system. We relied more on personal integrity to make governing function than we ever realized. He destroyed the notion of truth (we used to assume politicians lied, but we never knew that it could become the base immorality). Trump destroyed the notion of integrity. He destroyed the notion of a common good. He cracked open everything that had been envisioned as a roadblock to tyranny. If Trump had won in 2020, we would be under his authoritarian tyranny already. If he wins in 2024, democracy will die.

The lyingest liar of all lying liars who lies always about everything to everybody is perplexing on ONE issue: vaccines. He knew from the beginning that the pandemic was going to be an unimaginable killer, but he the malignant narcissist megalomaniac didn't care about human life. 2) What he cared about was power and a 2nd term that would allow him to seize authoritarian tyranny. That 2nd term was predicated on his perverse focus on solely a fantastic stock market that he could brag about. To save lives in the pandemic would mean harming the stock market.

1) Impeached American despot Donald Trump has launched the second phase of his reelection campaign strategy.

This is his behind-the-scenes attacks on America by his supporters to demand "America open up," the anti-health protests of the most dangerous large crowd sizes ... 2) ... no social distancing, and no masks as they attack governors -- especially DEMOCRATIC governors -- demanding an end to life-saving stay-at-home orders.

If you ask, "Why would Trump want to kill his supporters?", you are asking the wrong question. Deaths? ...
