Like a bad movie

Pyongyang

There are a lot of divisive forces at work in our country right now trying to unravel the protections of the Constitution. 

It is frightening. 

The militarization of Washington, D.C., reminds me of what I read about for cities like Pyongyang. Under strict military control and beautified to portray an unreal vision of the country. By the way, if you look closely at images of Pyongyang, there are almost no cars!

This is all like a bad movie. 

Washington, D.C. is becoming a showcase capital city for a wannabe authoritarian leader. I can't believe they tore up the Rose Garden for a convention hall. 

The targeting of the homeless is another play in the authoritarian take-over playbook. 

Adolf Hitler's regime began targeting the homeless and other marginalized groups in the early 1930s, with significant actions occurring around 1933 when the Nazis came to power. The regime implemented policies that aimed to "cleanse" cities like Berlin, often forcibly removing homeless individuals from public spaces. (Wikipedia) (ChatGPT)

And then yesterday. 

Despite all of the pre-visit bluster--TACO showed up in Anchorage yesterday and the Ukrainians are on their own because Trump met with his mentor.

Show me the money and you will see U.S. policy. There is no honor, no defense of allies only love of money. We all know where that leads. 

I've seen this movie before.
