The Choice Before Tyranny: Will We Let Oligarchs Rule or Take Back America? -- Thom Hartmann
https://hartmannreport.com/p/the-choice-before-tyranny-will-we-1cbWe stand at the tipping point — one decision will define our future…
House Speaker Mike Johnson says that California Governor Gavin Newsom should be “tarred and feathered” because he’s going along with protestors who object to Trump’s fascist behavior.
The vast majority of political violence over the past 15 years has been committed by rightwing goons and assassins, culminating in Minneapolis last weekend.
Trump is inserting Marines into an American city against the will and wishes of the mayor and that state’s governor and just rolled out a North Korea-style military parade. Next, he wants to give billionaires another $5 trillion tax gift funded by borrowed money you and your children will have to pay back.
And now he’s changed the veterans administration rules so doctors and nurses can refuse to provide services to veterans who are registered as Democrats. Seriously, not making that up.
How did we get here?
When, in 1978, five corrupt Republicans on the Supreme Court first ruled that corporations are persons and money is the same thing as free speech, that Bellotti decision authored by Lewis Powell (of Powell Memo infamy) first set America on the road to oligarchy.
