Putin should pay attention…

Well…with the fall of Assad in Syria when the people had just had enough, ole vladdie putin should pay attention since he and assad were such buddies and ruling in just the same way…murdering their political opponents and anyone else who stands in their way…and I laughed a bit when I read that the thousands of Russians stationed in Syria were “scrambling” to get out of the country before assad was tossed…and the big powerful strongman is now hiding just like every deposed dictator does…I wonder if he is hiding in the same kind of “spider hole” that they found hussein in? And I wonder if ole vlad has a few thousand of those for himself…man, I need to start looking at Kos again to get back up to speed about what is going on in the world…good riddance, assad…geez..

Human rights don’t matter to trump….

Well…the signals have come fast and clearly that human rights don’t matter to trump and his cronies….from taking down the human rights pages on the wh website, to telegraphing to the despots across the world that the US won’t even discuss human rights when they talk to these repressive regimes….in fact, trump is on record yesterday saying he admires Egypt’s Sisi…who has murdered protesters and is systematically destroying the democratic structures of the country…and destroying the somewhat free press there. In a real world consequence of this change in policy, yesterday trump told Assad of Syria that they support him and will no longer work to have him removed for murdering hundreds of thousands of his own citizens…and what was the result? Assad gassed and killed hundreds more Syrians since there will no longer be any blowback from the US. This is what you get when you “elect” a fascist to the WH…it’s now open season on citizens of these repressive regimes and the US will sit by and let murder happen every day…this is what you voted for trumpistas…..impeach….
