5:49 PM Eastern time. CNN just showed an outtake from the 77 minute video of the Uvalda cops and a bunch of other fucking cowards standing around in the school hallway with their thumbs up their asses while children were murdered.
Every damn one of them had on kevlar vests and was armed with their own AR AND THEY JUST WANDERED AROUND WITH THEIR HEADS UP THEIR ASSES. ONE OF THEM PLAYING WITH HIS PHONE
Where is their command authority? Where are the sergeants taking command?
GODDAMMIT I'm an old soldier with two tours in Vietnam in the bush where it seems like I was in a gunfight every day. My son lost an arm in Iraq. Both of us RAN INTO THE FIRE . . . charged toward people shooting at us. And these lardassed muthahfukahs just milled around.
Sorry. I'm outta here before I get banned.
The shooter should have been dead in under five minutes.
The US is moving rapidly down the same path taken by Germany in the 1920's-30's . . .
. . . with the same outcome awaiting us:
-- Marginalization, even violence, against "them"
-- A "re-educated" judiciary
-- Brown Shirts roving the streets, breaking up non-MAGA meetings, attacking election officials
-- Elections turned into a farce with the outcome pre-determined
-- No regulations on corporations
-- Labor unions outlawed
We are sleepwalking into fascism and we have only ourselves to blame:
-- We ignored the Powell Memo
-- We thought Newt's "Language: A Key Mechanism of Control" was silly
-- And we are still practicing reaching across the aisle, compromising with the Devils
Our new passports were delivered last week. Because of my Swiss ancestry, we are visiting the Swiss Embassy/Consulate in DC next week to investigate moving for our last years.
