Chauncey DeVega Hits Another One Out of the Park
There are certain writers and political analysts and news journalists who, in my opinion, almost always see the BIG picture, unlike many others. One of them is Thom Hartmann. And another is Chauncey DeVega. I'd rate this article yet another of his must reads:
He's dropping little clues: The troubling message we are missing from Trump's MAGA rallies by Chauncey DeVega, Senior Writer - Salon Trump's revenge plot remains hidden in plain sight
excerpts:
Trump told his thousands of followers gathered before him that he wants the power to determine when presidential elections (and presumably other elections) take place. Trump is literally reading a page from the dictator’s playbook. At the end of his speech in Pennsylvania, Trump, channeling Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, reached a crescendo by threatening those Americans — a group he has previously targeted as “vermin” and “traitors” — who are poisoning the “blood” of the nation:
Predictably, the American mainstream news media did not cover Trump’s Schnecksville political speech and rally in great detail. Instead, such journals of record as the New York Times, The Washington Post, Reuters, The Associated Press, and NPR summarized Trump’s speech and the events of that day in a manner that, for the most part, literally whitewashes the abnormal, the aberrant, and the inherent dangerousness of what the corrupt ex-president and the larger antidemocracy movement represent to the country and the world.
As I keep saying, this guy is dangerous. He says what he means and he means to DO what he says. I won't post the last paragraph of his piece (reached my limit) but I'd caution everyone to READ it.
As DeVega suggests, don't get too comfy making fun of this fkr sleeping (or pretending to sleep) in court. Because he's still got the compromised reich wing dominated SCOTUS in his side pocket. This I truly believe.
And he's just sitting there dreaming of all the ways he's going to make America PAY.
