This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.--George Conway
"This summer I hear the drumming”
If protests keep getting larger, and they will, we’re quickly approaching the point at which Trump tells Hegseth to order the military to fire on protesters.
Trump yearns for this. The question is if the soldiers under Hegseth will carry out these illegal orders. I don’t think the answer is clear."Four dead in Ohio.”
George Conway was six when the Kent State Massacre occurred. I was 15, and two years away from going to college myself.
None of the students killed at Kent State were involved in the anti-war protest that brought out the National Guard. The soldiers who fired on the students were exonerated at trial. The jury decided the students were the responsible parties.
And before that, there were the dogs, and the water cannons, used to attack peaceful protestors marching for their civil rights. Those police officers were praised for their conduct by public officials.
George is probably too young to remember that, too.
