And we are astonished why? deja vu does not generate surprise or astonishment.

Fascism is here to stay.

Trump's terrifying secret prisons that epitomise his America

How many more since the original 30?

QuoteFundamentally, this is an American Idiom. It comes from the spoiled kid in the famous "Twilight Zone" episode, "It's A Good Life."

In that episode, a six-year-old kid prone to temper tantrums and getting his own way rules with absolute power over his parents and the townfolk of "Peaksville.". You see this boy has the power to change reality. He can change people into anything he wants, and being a young six year old, what he wants is quite capricious.



And everyone goes along with it.

If they do not, well, then, bad things happen to them.

17 Dead Mexicans.  I wonder how many dead from all of the S & C American countries total?  Then add the African countries and Middle East & SE Asian countries.  Finally, add the dead Amerikan citizens.  Chump is a very successful Serial Killer.

QuoteChump is a very successful Serial Killer.

That he is, and if you went back in time before he was in politics or TV and look hard enough my 'spidy' sense tells me somebody who disagreed with Trump vanished a long time ago.  A concrete coffin under a sky-rise?  Perhaps it was one of Trump's temper tantrum deals.  Give me what, I want or I'll get mean.  That's the Trump deal.

You don't say I could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and get by with it unless you already have.  I haves no proof, but fear has made Trump say certain things through the years his motor mouth couldn't help saying.  Guilt does the same thing, but with Trump it is 100% fear combined with a rush of a feeling he got by with something.  An impish adolescent streak Trump with his hardwired arrested development can't outgrow.

Proof is sort of liquid around Trump.  There but never quite there.  Trump claims not to be in the Epstein files but he calls reporters who are young and female rude and stupid.  Statements which say everything about Trump nothing about them.  Trump has the vocabulary of a sex-trafficker who considers attractive women objects.  Is that a coincidence?  No it is not.  The idea that a woman could have a nice rack and a brain at the same time is not in the Trump reality.  Trumps mouth leaks truth in his perpetual stream of lies  He can't help it, and his mouth leaks as much as his asshole now does.  But you have to listen to his words, and not be taken in by the Trump performance.

I doubt Chump  himself has ever pulled the trigger on anyone.  Contracting to have someone terminated on the other hand I would be surprised if he hasn't.  Epstein's "suicide" for instance has always been a little too convenient and easily affordable in his income bracket.  He certainly has both the Organized Crime &/or Black Ops CIA type connections necessary to pull something like that off.

Even without the secret stuff though, there's plenty of innocent Dead People in the public record directly attributable to his directives and protected by the Justice Dept under his control.  Was there ever any proof those fishing boats  he had sunk were drug smugglers?  Even if they were, it's hardly necessary for a Navy gunboat to sink them rather than arrest them.  They could have fired gas cannisters at the boats and forced the sailors to jump overboard.  They could have towed the boats in then arrested them on shore.  Then there are all the ICE deaths, many while in captivity.  Who knows how many dead of those deported to 3rd party countries?

Because he's POTUS, these killings are considered "legal" by the Fascist justice system.  Agents of the state are effectively given a License to Kill.  That doesn't make it any less Serial Killing.  It's a hallmark of Tyranny.
