You don't like the word "Fascist" to be used to describe the Trump Administration?
So, we hear of the Bowling Green Massacre, which according to Conway was
an honest mistake on her part to name it that, then goes on to say it
was never mentioned nor investigated. My understanding is that about 90
newpapers covered it, and the people who were found guilty of charges
stemming from the event are serving time in prison after a lengthy
investigation--how many "honest" mistakes, without any retraction or
setting the record straight do we need to hear before coming
to the reasonable conclusion we are being lied to? Another example,
Spicer in a press conference stated that Iran had fired on a US vessel,
and when corrected did not retract his statement but blithely moved on
to a new topic. Trump states we have Iran "on notice," hangs up on the
Australian Prime Minister after a heated call--I wonder how many
incidents it is going to take before people come to the logical
conclusion that the Trump administration communications are composed of
lies, and appears to be spoiling for a fight with anyone that dares to
stand their ground. This goes for the press, other nations, and citizens
of this country. You don't like the word Fascist? Fine. Call it
whatever you like, he appears to be isolating this nation vis a vis
other nations, is in a calculated fashion misinforming the people of
this nation, has appointed people for his Cabinet and to the NSC who
have aims inimical to the Constitutional rights of the citizenry, is
provoking hostile responses from other countries by threatening military
action or to build walls etc ad nauseatum. Maybe we need a new word to
describe all this, but it seems to me that the old words fit just great.
Liar. Cheat. Thief. Greedy. Egomaniac.
