Speeding in reverse — great
Speeding in reverse — great
Amazing news, Trump fans: Trump’s Russian buddies just announced they’ll be getting rid of rules to protect wives (or husbands) from abuse by their spouses. Normalizing family abuse and eliminating reasons to get healthy. Great!
And it seemed already so great that on his first day in office, Trump made it harder for working Americans to get a mortgage. But now that seems like child’s play when he could’ve gone all the way by making it easier for families to suffer even more — not only physically, but emotionally — with one sweep of the pen! Trump obviously has some Dark Ages catching up to do.
Hold on, though. There’s great news as this letter is being written: The Global Gag Rule is back. Trump is safely on the far right, keep women around the world in chains! Blocking women from controlling their bodies and reproductive health? A perfect throw-the-Evangelicals-of-the-party-a-bone bonus to squelch those nasty impeachment rumors. And the long-awaited promise of punishing women who try to prevent or get rid of an abusive partner’s lifelong noose around their neck? Only steps away. Less freedom, choice, and control over our bodies and private lives is surely what will make America great (again).
But we can’t give God and the POTUS all the credit. The Tea Party, Fox (fake) News, and the rest of the Republican machine are staying the course of their really great creation and his kingly proclamations.
Wait! More great news! POTUS nixed the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). Now China’s, less protective plan is the trade menu’s main course. Super great.

Gabbard’s trip not right
Tulsi Gabbard’s recent trip to Syria was paid for by an Assad-friendly group headed by a man with close ties to Hezbollah terrorists (who she calls “a peace activist”).
https://www.weeklystandard.com/article/2006498.
As that article documents, she has consistently supported Assad, a war criminal if ever there was one, whose shell of a regime is nothing more at this point than a front for Iran and Russia, who are not our friends. Assad has transported terrorists on their way to kill American soldiers and has butchered hundreds of thousands of human beings.
There’s a law against citizens (even members of Congress) interfering with American foreign policy.
Not to mention that those individuals and groups (and the Iranian regime) are rabid genocidal Jew-haters (aka “anti-Zionists”).
Those are big red flags. And Congresswoman Gabbard is also rumored to be a devoted member of Chris Butler (aka Jagad Guru)’s Kailua-based Hare Krishnas.
She is also well spoken and personable, a young, very ambitious female Democrat war veteran whose bravery and patriotism are attack-proof, in a one-party state, and she is therefore potentially a very dangerous individual for a very long time.
