I'm channeling my departed Dad who was a Marine during World War II with a message today.
"You're not going to believe what's happening in America today, Dad. We have a dictator and are living in an authoritarian state.
State sanctioned goons with masks and weapons are roaming the country instilling fear and panic upon the people. They beat them mercilessly and they kill them if they resist. The State has given these gestapo-like goon's complete immunity.
Not even children are safe. One example from yesterday. ICE goons attacked a car stuck in traffic and threw gas grenades and flashbangs inside the car where there was a six-month old baby who stopped breathing and would have died had he not been rushed to the hospital.
Active military units have been surged into Democratic cities that resist our tyrant's lawless takeover of the nation. Believe it or not a crooked real estate developer convicted of 34 counts of fraud is that tyrant... Donald J. Trump.
We only have one branch of government now - the executive branch. The other two branches have been neutered by the MAGA cult that got Trump into power. He's installed right-wing lunatics in his lawless cabinet to poison every government agency.
In one short year Trump has turned all of our allies against us by imposing draconian tariffs and threatening them with military action if they try to stop his goal of taking over the Western Hemisphere.
I'm not kidding. Trump wants to invade Greenland (of all places) an ally of America for 250 years. He also threatening other South American countries after invading Venezuela to seize their oil resources.
He's threatening to take over Cuba and bomb Mexico. Our strongest ally in the region, Canada, has been pushed to the brink by Trump's tariffs and rhetoric about making them a 51st state in America.
Trump is enriching his family by abusing the stock market and making corrupt deals with countries that promise to build golf courses and hotels with his name on them. Qatar gave him a $400 million jet... as a gift that will keep on giving.
This one is going to be hard on you Dad, Trump has torn down the East Wing of The White House to make way for an adjoining ballroom twice the size of the People's House.
Trump is acting out his gilded age fantasies by turning the interior of the White House into a French brothel. The gold accents on every wall make it look cheap and unnecessarily gaudy. As for the ballroom it too will be gilded age monstrosity out of the 1920s.
I could go on Dad, but you get the idea. Everything you stood for as an American Marine is crumbling along with a Democratic republic."
As it Stands, the "Greatest Generation" is probably turning over in their graves.
