Trump tweets congratulations to the S.S. for overcoming peaceful protesters

In the House Judiciary Committee, the discussion on Wednesday was about police reforms and ending police brutality against Black Americans. That same discussion has been conducted in the streets of America for the last two weeks as millions have marched, protested, and held vigils following the police murder of George Floyd.

But Donald Trump is having a different conversation. In addition to hiding in the White House bunker and ordering officials to erect a three-deep series of fences to keep blocks of space between himself and the rabble, Trump has alternated tweeting demands for the military to “dominate the streets” and claims that antifa is everywhere.

So it’s not surprising that Trump moved his thumbs on Thursday morning to brag about how easily the military “took care of” peaceful protesters. It’s also not surprising that in the process Trump thanked the “S.S.” for doing a “great job.”

There’s absolutely zero doubt that when asked about it, Back-Up Ivanka Kaleigh McEnany will assert that “S.S.” is a commonly used term for the Secret Service. Except that it’s not. People don’t call the Secret Service the S.S. because they know those letters are laden with a very specific meaning.

He is signalling an SOS to his base on a regular basis now.

Those are not mistakes or a matter of ignorance. He knows what he is doing and the elements in his base know what he means and that's going to rile them up for the big finale he is planning. There will be many more. Q-Anon also feeds off of that stuff and the delusional paranoids who believe it are easy game.

Just pay attention. The Furor's Regime must be held onto at all costs.

However, that is also a sign of his fear and distress at seeing the short length of his dangerous but puny Reich.

I had a dream he blew up trump tower with Melania in it to get the public to support him and declare a national emergency right before the election.

I hope it was just my over-active imagination.
