“These unprecedented tactics – which even the former top lawyer of the Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration has characterized as embarrassing, lawless and cruel – have now resulted in the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens,” the Obamas said.
The Obamas accused the Trump administration of “escalating” the tension in Minneapolis by offering the public explanations of the shootings of Pretti and Renee Good “that aren’t informed by any serious investigation – and that appear to be directly contradicted by video evidence.”
Wake-up call for who?
The people who already knew and voted against Trump? Or the people who voted for him, and also knew he is a fascist sociopath? Or the people who don’t care?
There is no way this should be a wake-up call for anybody. This was to be expected. We knew already before his inauguration that he would destroy democracy and put USA at the very least to the brink of civil war doing it.
How is this in any way surprising?
Even the infamously slow moving EU reacted in less than a month to Trump, and began to work on independence from USA.
The world has clearly reacted, but has neither right or power to remove Trump.
The ones that have power to remove Trump are the Americans, and for some reason they don’t.
What would you have us do?
I’ve been warning about this since before Trump won the election.
But to be honest IDK what to do at this point, except occupy white house and congress.
It seems more and more like either give Trump his way, or prepare for civil war. 😬
I hope your fellow Americans have better ideas. The time to act was before Trump had everything stacked on his side. But maybe he doesn’t have that quite yet. And some of the services will side with the people if they act now.
But apparently all the services are now ready to do Trumps bidding. And if true, that means that USA is already a dictatorship.
Yeah. Agreed. The time to act was when we had the option to vote against tyranny. But too many people felt it necessary to protest shit happening in a country they couldn’t have pointed to on a map months before, and the rest of the clowns felt that “good” was the mortal enemy of perfect. So much so that it seems they’re willing to repeat their mistakes in 2028.
Still, everyone wasn’t to believe there’s a way out of this- and no one wants to hear the truth. And yet- the truth is what drives everyone to do nothing about it.
I guess it’s better to just whine about everything while doing nothing as opposed to calling it out.
