Well….it there was any doubt that the idiot trump was a fascist, that was put to rest when when his justice department arrested and charged people who were protesting him with multiple felonies. Yeah, you heard that right…in the huge protest against trump and everything he stands for, hundreds of people were arrested for exercising their first amendment rights just because it hurt the little man’s fee fees…and the reason they used was that there was some property damage along the parade route done by someone so everyone who was at the protest was guilty, including journalists who were covering it. This nonsense was put to rest today when a jury came back with a not guilty verdict on all charges for the first 6 people charged…but my question is how could this trial even start when courts have ruled many times in the past that protesting is protected speech? This is just another instance where the idiot trump and his minions are seeking to destroy the constitution since it’s protections are inconvenient to their goal of making the US into Russia where dissent is met with jail time, murder, or worse. Trump needs to go now…impeach….

Another thing about Kelly…
Well…if you haven’t yet seen Lawrence O’Donnell comment from last night about Kelly’s screed and attack on Congresswoman Wilson, you should go out and find it…it really put some background to the racist attack…but, that’s not what I wanted to talk about now….one little detail of Kelly’s speech flew under the radar and I think I need to make sure it doesn’t…during the speech, Kelly basically said that the only people that have the right to comment on anything about the military are people who have served or lost a family member who was serving in the military…now, to use Kelly’s favorite word, I am “stunned” that a person who has sworn an oath to protect the constitution would so casually discard the protections that come from the first amendment…we ALL get to talk about anything we want and being in the military doesn’t make you better or give you more rights than the rest of us…which is what he implied when trying to smear Congresswoman Wilson…this is just bullshit…I have had enough of the military fetishism in this country and that soldiers are to be “revered”…yeah, they do a tough job at times but so do a lot of people….so enough of this crap…a line from one of Graham Nash’s songs just ran through my head as I was writing this…”military madness is killing this country”.
