For all of those who followed my blogs the last few years on Twitter, I thank you. It’s an interesting medium to say the least. I have decided today to disassociate myself from twitter altogether and actually deleted the app from my computer and my cell phone. Why you may ask? Simple. The absolute HYPOCROCY of allowing Donald Trump to tweet virtually non stop ANY conspiracy theory, horrible medical advice or attack upon ANY individual, no matter how cruel and demeaning it might be. And yet my little account with 150 followers or so was suspended for a day because I called Jeannine Pirro of FAUX NEWS a BITCH, which she is of course! Plus it happened approximately a MONTH AFTER my tweet, not exactly a timely policing of content.
The final straw for me is allowing Trump to tweet his insane accusations that Joe Scarborough of “Morning Joe”, an early morning talk newscast that has been highly critical of him since day one, was somehow involved in the death of an aid and was having an extramarital affair with her, a conspiracy theory so outrageous that it actually prompted the husband of the deceased to write a letter to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey demanding that these hateful tweets about his deceased wife cease and desist. Twitter Inc said on Tuesday it would take no action at this time on tweets from U.S. President Donald Trump about the 2001 death of a former congressional staff member for Joe Scarborough, after her widower asked the company to remove them for furthering false claims. "We are deeply sorry about the pain these statements, and the attention they are drawing, are causing the family," the spokeswoman said in a statement when asked about the president's tweets on Scarborough, now an MSNBC television host with whom Trump has brawled. "We've been working to expand existing product features and policies so we can more effectively address things like this going forward, and we hope to have those changes in place shortly," she said. Twitter said it would start labeling tweets from prominent politicians and government officials that broke its rules but that it deemed were in the public interest. The spokeswoman declined to say why Trump's tweets did not fall within this policy. In other words, if you happen to have twenty million followers on our social media platform you can say anything you want irrespective of legitimacy or honesty of content and get away with it with impunity, i.e. Donald Trump. I get it, it’s another decision driven solely by the almighty dollar, just like Trump’s entire existence. But I don’t have to participate, and I no longer will. Adios Twitter, and good riddance to you and your fuc*ing golden goose-I hope following the landslide Democratic election in November you both get flushed back into the sewer where you belong!!!

ONE MILLION THREE HUNDRED FIFTY FOUR THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR (1,354,664). That is the number of American KIA’s in all of our nation’s wars and conflicts combined beginning with the Revolutionary War right up until today in Afghanistan. That means that close to one and a half million of our fellow citizens made the ultimate sacrifice in order to preserve and defend our democracy and others around the world. They gave THEIR own lives so that the fellow brothers in arms and the rest of us may live in peace and prosperity. In the movie “Saving Private Ryan” there is a scene in which a letter supposedly written by Abraham Lincoln to the mother of fallen Union soldiers is quoted. The letter expressed condolences to a Mrs. Bixby on the death of her five sons, who had fought to preserve the Union in the Civil War. The author regrets how “weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming.” He continued with a prayer that “our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement [and leave you] the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom”. These words ring just as true today as they did back then. We as a nation owe an everlasting debt of gratitude to each and every man and women who gave their lives for the cause of freedom. Today is NOT a day for politics or divisiveness to which we have grown so unfortunately accustomed over these last few years but of remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice as well as their families. We remember each and every one of these individuals today and also send out a heart felt “thank you for your service” to every single man and woman who serves or has served in our armed forces. In the cesspool of appointees that Donald Trump has run through his revolving door administration, it is becoming increasingly apparent that his current Secretary of State, “POMPOUS” Mike Pompeo, just might be the sleaziest one of all., and that’s saying quite a bit considering the dregs of humanity we have seen serve under him to date, such infamous individuals as convicted felons Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort; or maybe it’s disgraced former officials like Scott Pruitt or Ryan Zinke; maybe current day villains like Stephen “The KILLER” Miller, baby killer and family separator supreme or William (DIS)Barr, the corrupt Attorney General currently serving as Trump’s personal attorney. It seems inevitable that once under the spell of Donald Trump, his insatiable lust for power and control and his complete lack of a moral compass, even the most dedicated public servants turn into cowering sycophants. But the more we learn about Pompeo, the more about his complete lack of character and morals has led him to become “SYCHOPHANT of STATE” the more it becomes apparent the corruption he has been involved in and the destruction he has wrought on both the State Department and our diplomatic corps. Now comes the revelation that the Inspector General recently fired by Trump was investigating Pompeo for the Eight BILLION $ arms sale to Saudi Arabia where Trump essentially by passed Congressional approval in order to see the deal through (remember, with Trump (and Kushner) just follow the money!!!). In addition, he was at the same time looking into allegations that “POMPOUS” Mike was using State Dept employees as his personal valets, picking up dry cleaning and performing other domestic chores when he was summarily dismissed by Trump.
Pompeo has been involved in sleaze since the day he became Secretary of State. In the latest scandal Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declined an interview request for the State Department inspector general's inquiry into whether the Trump administration acted illegally in declaring an "emergency" to bypass a congressional freeze on arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, according to three people with knowledge of his actions. According to the New York Times' report, the cabinet secretary chose to "answer written questions from investigators working for the inspector general," who "indicates that the secretary of state was aware of Mr. Linick's investigation and the specific lines of questioning." In case this weren't quite enough, NBC News published a striking report overnight on Pompeo hosting a series of elaborate and unpublicized "Madison Dinners" at the State Department, with elite guest lists featuring "billionaire CEOs, Supreme Court justices, political heavyweights and ambassadors." The soirees -- paid for by taxpayers and held in a public building -- led State Department officials to ring the alarm, and for good reason. The NBC News report added that these officials saw these gatherings as "essentially using federal resources to cultivate a donor and supporter base for Pompeo's political ambitions -- complete with extensive contact information that gets sent back to Susan Pompeo's personal email address." Previously, Pompeo was deeply embroiled in the Ukrainian extortion plot that got his boss impeached, running a shadow operation on the side in concert with associate slime ball “RUNAWAY” Rudy Giuliani to get the Ukrainian government to smear Trump’s political rival Joe Biden. He then lied about it to Congress, which is perjury. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo became a major focus of the House impeachment inquiry Wednesday, with the recounting of emails and conversations linking him more closely to the effort to pressure Ukraine to investigate President Trump’s political rivals than previously known. The accounts — provided in sworn testimony by the U.S. ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland — prompted fresh calls for Pompeo to testify on Capitol Hill and explain his actions concerning a Ukraine policy that he has at times refused to discuss but defended as “wholly appropriate.” Sondland said several senior U.S. officials knew about a “quid pro quo” linking a White House visit for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigations into Trump’s political rivals. In addition to Pompeo, he said, acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and then-national security adviser John Bolton were aware of the effort. The State Department itself as well as our foreign policy around the world is in utter disarray under Trump and his lap dog Pompeo. Dozens if not hundreds of dedicated career diplomats have either quit or been fired so that their slots can be filled with incompetent political cronies or large REPUBLIKAN(T) donors. Foreign Policy??? What foreign policy??? Just take a look around. Russia continues to meddle in our democratic process with impunity; Kim Jung Un is racing full speed ahead with N Korea’s ambitious nuclear weaponization program while Trump exchanges love letters with him and tells us all we should “sleep better at night”; the aforementioned BILLIONS of $’s arm sale to Saudi Arabia was forced through despite the brutal murder and dismemberment of a Washington Post journalist, Jhamal Khoshoggi and the genocide being committed in the Yemen civil war using the military hardware provided by the United States; Our economic war with China was a catastrophe BEFORE the pandemic hit-now, with the accusations flying back and forth over Chinese transparency and handling of the coronavirus outbreak the relationship has never been worse, despite what Trump claims about his relationship with Xi; Iran also is forging ahead with their nuclear ambitions after Trump’s unilateral decision to renege on the treaty which was signed in concert with our NATO allies during the Obama administration; Israel is unilaterally establishing additional settlements on the West Bank with Trump’s full support thereby destroying any opportunity for a Middle East peace agreement of any kind. We have been in constant conflict with long time allies like NATO, S Korea and Japan, as well as our closest neighbors in Canada and Mexico. The bottom line is that Mike Pompeo is not fit to be Secretary of State any more than Donald Trump is fit to be POTUS!!! Sadly, he fits right in to Trump’s incredible “CABINET OF CLOWNS”, one which will undoubtedly be reviled by history as the worst in our nation’s history for their gross incompetence, malfeasance and outright corruption. But in Donald Trump’s world, their utter loyalty and willingness to sell their respective souls for the intoxication of power is all that is required of them. Unfortunately, in many cases like at State, it will be years if not decades before the damage these buffoons have wrought can be undone, if EVER!!! NEARLY 100,000 DEAD AMERICANS AND TRUMP IS TALKING “OBAMAGATE” and PROMISING MIRACLE VACCINES?!?5/18/2020 As our nation closes in on the horrific milestone of suffering ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND deaths from the pandemic and the catastrophic economic fallout which has resulted from the quarantines that have been instituted state by state to contain the spread of Covid-19, we have a President in Donald Trump who is far more interested in trying to discredit the entire Russia investigation as a political witch hunt out to destroy him initiated and directed by former President Barrack Obama and his so called “deep state”. A President who is pressuring Senate colleagues to launch an investigation into unspecified ‘crimes” against the former President, with the obvious intention of harming his political opponent Joe Biden. We have a President in Donald Trump who is more interested in promising another magical cure to the virus, in this case a vaccine available nationwide by the end of the year (not a single scientist or doctor has EVER claimed this to be possible, no matter what ridiculous and absurd brand Trump wants to put on it, in this case operation “Warp Speed” ((stolen from Star Trek)). He wastes our time and billions in taxpayer $'s by launching and branding the absurd "space force" for purely political reasons. He claims “we’re back” while new cases of Covid-19 explode around the country in states like Texas that chose to basically disregard the recommended CDC guidelines for containing the outbreak in their rush to salvage politicians careers or their own economic self interests. Instead of listening to the proven advise of his own experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Birx in trying to contain the outbreak and subsequent human toll, he shoves them off the stage in favor of stooges like Jared Kushner or whatever sorry excuse for a “CABINET OF CLOWNS” Secretary he happens to have in tow that day, like Azar. He’s more interested in keeping his tax returns from public view by taking his case all the way to the Supreme Court. These are the things that occupy Donald Trump's time-not the national catastrophe that he continues to try to wish away.
Let’s be honest. History will record that the incredible carelessness, callousness and incompetence of the Trump administration in responding to this historic crisis, starting back in January when he called it a "hoax" resulted in literally tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths. Yet we have a man in the White House with absolutely no ability to deal with the scope of the crisis other than to lash out daily at his perceived enemies, either political or in the media via his on camera comments or his insatiable desire to tweet whatever absurd thought that crosses his mind or he sees on FAUX NEWS. He insists on having his closest aids gather around him and up until a recent West Wing outbreak (how ironic) refused to allow them to wear masks. He himself NEVER has put one on, despite being in numerous facilities where such PPE is mandatory, such as at the CDC or the factories which produce the actual masks themselves! He encourages the so called states rights “protesters” to storm their respective capitals and legislatures armed with assault weapons in order to jump start the economy which has completed collapsed with unprecedented unemployment and budget deficits because he knows the economy and his claims of responsibility for it were his ONLY shot at reelection come November and now he sees it all slipping away. Yet incredibly, nearly half of all Americans believe he has done a good job in handling the pandemic. This is exactly the alternative narrative that Trump and his allies have set out to accomplish from the very beginning, that put enough BULLSH*T out there and put it out often enough through media foils like FAUX NEWS and propaganda hacks like RUSH LIMBAUGH and half of America will believe it. Well, guess what??? It’s hard to imagine that our country is so torn asunder by the political polarization of Red vs. Blue that we can’t even come together in one of our greatest moments of need, a moment requiring the need for a well considered scientific approach to dealing with the pandemic going forward as well as bi-partisanship on the political front to deal with the economic repercussions. But that’s the state of our nation as a result of the 3 plus years of Donald Trump in the White House trampling on the rules of law and the norms of governance, destroying the very infrastructure of our government by systematically replacing life long government servants with political cronies or donors. He has an Attorney General who is as crooked if not more so than his boss and a “CABINET OF CLOWNS” that has proven so incredibly incompetent or corrupt that it will literally take decades to straighten out vital segments of our society such as education or the environment. He and his REPUBLIKAN(T) cronies are responsible for passing the biggest tax break in corporate Amerikan history, bailing out the banks and Wall Street, bailing out the airlines, bailing out farmers and all the while raking in huge campaign contributions from these very interests in exchange for their votes. Now “MOSCOW” Mitch claims that the three TRILLION $ bill just voted on by the House, with many built in protections and financial incentives for small business and middle class Americans instead of his corporate sponsors is “an 1800 page catalog of left wing oddities”. They are such incredible hypocrites. Anyway, America, it is what it is. Only the November election will determine the future course of our democracy. In the meanwhile, stay safe. Listen to the advice of your local officials and healthcare providers and make your own informed decisions about what is safe for you and your family. Do NOT put your faith in the federal government because it has completely failed us when it counted the most. And we all know from the infamous words of the man who made the decision to drop the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima (which BTW also killed approximately 100,000 civilians), Harry Truman: ‘the buck stops here”. The same is true today, Mr. Trump. You can run, you can lie, you can misinform and you can attack your political opponents and the media, but history will not be blinded by you or your brand. Your administration will undoubtedly go down as the WORST one in all of American history, bar none. There’s a legacy you can take to the bank. Unfortunately, nearly one hundred thousand of our fellow citizens will also go down in history as the unfortunate victims of the gross negligence and malfeasance of your government. Explain that to their families and loved ones next time you want to tell America “we’re back”. We aren't now and we won't be for a very long time. Word yesterday that the DOJ, at the direction of a William (DIS)Barr flunky, is recommending dropping the charges against former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, who himself plead GUILTY to two counts of lying to the FBI during the Mueller investigation, coupled with revelations earlier this month that Mueller completely disagreed with Barr’s handling and interpretation of his final report are further proof that the man is guilty of obstruction of justice himself. There is also evidence that he also lied in his Congressional testimony, a criminal offense as well. So in other words the man who is supposed to be the chief law enforcement officer in our country is himself a criminal, guilty of obstruction of justice, possible collusion in the Ukrainian extortion scheme, perjury and now he’s giving a free pass to a man who confessed to his crimes and was sentenced for them. Flynn lied to V.P. Mike Pence as well as the F.B.I. during the investigation into the Russia probe and his involvement. Trump continues to call the entire probe a hoax, which it wasn’t, and Barr continues to try to exonerate all of Trump’s co conspirators who were involved.
People seem to be forgetting that the Mueller report indicated that Trump himself was guilty of possible TEN different attempts to obstruct the Russia probe, that at least half a dozen individuals involved with his campaign were found guilty of criminal activities and sentenced to prison. Hardly a hoax. The ONLY reason that Trump isn’t behind bars is because he is the sitting President, according to Mueller and the DOJ’s absurd interpretation that a president cannot be convicted of a crime while in office, another ridiculous legal interpretation that should be challenged in court. The also forget the role Bill Barr played in the Ukrainian scandal for which Trump was impeached, the attempted extortion of a NATO ally in exchange for dirt on Joe Biden. He and “RUNAWAY” Rudy were running interference for Trump. Now the Attorney General, at the direction of Trump, announces that the charges against Flynn should be dismissed on the grounds the entire probe was politically motivated and therefore null and void. I’m hoping against hope that the judge who resided over this trial, who was himself completely aghast and dismayed by the actions of Flynn and others, refuses to honor this request by the AG and keeps Flynn behind bars where he belongs. As far as (DIS)Barr is concerned, he could be removed from office via impeachment by Congress but with another Trump sycophant “MOSCOW” Mitch controlling the Senate that will never happen. Just like with Trump himself, it appears the only way our country will be rid of this smug dirt bag Attorney General is via the upcoming November election. Removing the primary source of the disease should also cure the secondary infection. Both Donald Trump and William Barr will be remembered by history as two of the most corrupt and insidious individuals to EVER hold high office in America. With Barr running interference, Trump seems to believe he literally can get away with murder while he’s in office, which is one of the reasons he is so desperate to get reelected. So far, he seems to be right. William Barr is guilty obstruction of justice, lying to Congress (perjury) and lying to the American people regarding the Mueller probe. Instead of presenting the facts, he totally sanitized it to fit Trump’s narrative. Only in the alternative reality of the Trump presidency would such a man be Attorney General, a world in which lies and misinformation are the norm, and truth and justice takes a back seat to political expediency. It’s a sad day for our democracy when the very checks and balances that are supposed to protect us and our Constitution are being used to destroy it from within. WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!! JOE BIDEN SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS
I found the entire Mika Brzezinski of “Morning Joe” interview with former V.P. Joe Biden regarding the allegations of sexual assault brought by Tara Reade to be evidence that the entire #metoo movement has gone way too far and is actually at this point doing more harm than good. Ms. Reade’s allegations change daily, there is very little documentation, if any, to support her claims and she has by her own twitter postings given support to the basic fact that she is a nut job looking to bring down Biden because he defeated Bernie Sanders in the democratic primary. I disagree completely with those who state that Brzezinski’s interview with Biden was well conducted. I believe she went overboard in attempting to frame Biden as presumed guilty in her efforts to appease the women’s movement. Reade has zero credibility, and the attention given to her allegations by MSNBC are not warranted. Donald Trump has no fewer than TWENTY FIVE such allegations which have been made against him to which he has NEVER responded other than to issue blanket denials. It’s a non issue despite what the media wants you to believe. My opinion of Mika Brzezinski has been diminished considerably. She is so wrapped up in women’s issues she cannot see the forest through the trees anymore. Or maybe it's to sell more books. REPUBLIKAN(T) RUSH TO REOPEN THE ECONOMY As we move into the month of May, now nearly two months into the outbreak of Covid-19 in the U.S., the death toll is now nearing 70,000 Americans and still climbing. The number of coronavirus cases continues to increase nearly across the board. Doctors and scientists alike have warned we haven’t yet reached the crest of the first wave of infections and yet Donald Trump, members of his administration and REPUBLIKAN(T) governors in states like FL, TX , TN and GA are rushing to get businesses back open in order to salvage what’s left of the so called Trump economic boom (also another Trump lie), which has also died as a result of this pandemic. There’s only ONE simple reason why these deplorable politicians are putting YOUR health and safety at risk…..that is self perpetuation. Reelection. Period. Think about that come November America-these elected officials chose $’s over your life. BTW, the images of Trump sitting in front of the Lincoln Memorial for his FAUX NEWS Town Hall last night were enough to make me sick to my stomach. And then to hear him say he has been treated worse than Lincoln (who was assassinated, Mr. President) and to criticize George W. Bush for attempting to unify the country in this time of crisis with his words should tell us all everything we need to know about this man who is completely devoid of empathy for those who have suffered and died and who is more interested in his own reelection than the lives of his fellow Americans. Instead of thanking Mr. Bush, Trump berates him for not speaking out against his impeachment, which I believe the country is now beginning to realize was the right thing to do. MOSCOW Mitch has a lot to answer for, but this might be the biggest single miscalculation EVER made by an American politician that has resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans. Had Trump been removed from office like he should have been based upon all the facts regarding his behavior from the 2016 campaign to the Mueller report to the Ukrainian extortion scheme the nation might have been far better able to respond to this horrific outbreak of Covis-19. MICHIGAN STATEHOUSE DEMONSTRATORS The images of armed thugs physically attempting to assault the Michigan legislature waving their Nazi and Confederate flags along with their AR-15’s demanding that the Governor ease the stay at home restrictions is yet another example of what Donald Trump has done to divide this country. These misguided individuals mostly showed up with no face masks, did NOT practice social distancing and actually attempted to storm the statehouse while the legislature was in session. And Trump later said he supported them. This despite the fact that Michigan continues to see the pandemic rage out of control as is the case in almost every other state. Oh, BTW, the state has a Democratic Governor who has been critical of the federal government’s response to the outbreak. I don’t want to wish anything bad upon anyone, but what goes around comes around folks. This small but vocal minority represents the worst of Trump supporters, the so called base that would support him no matter how outrageous his words or actions. And for them to try to raise the idea of their liberties being revoked, I say BULLSHIT!!! Then they all try to hide behind the Second Amendment so they can brandish their military assault rifles. They should have all been locked up. CHINESE CONSPIRACY THEORIES Now “POMPOUS” Mike Pompeo has joined in with Donald Trump in accusing the Chinese of deliberately creating and unleashing the pandemic from a Wuhan laboratory stating that we have “evidence”. OK, let’s see it. Simple enough. Pompeo has ZERO credibility and is about as believable as his boss. Classic Trump defer and deflect. Blame somebody else for the gross ignorance and incompetence in dealing with this pandemic that has tragically resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of American lives. WH PRESS SECRETARY KAY(LIE) McENEMY Anybody who expected anything different than lies and misinformation from this office will be sorry to hear that the new appointee, Kayleigh McEnany has slipped into the role seamlessly, with one lie and misstatement after another in her briefing about how Trump has handled the pandemic. Like her boss, she lives in a world of alternative realities. She appears to be as big a joke as Sarah “HUCKLEBERRY” Sanders was. KIM JUNG UN Word that the N Korean strongman had reappeared in public after nearly a three week hiatus and much speculation brought more praise from Donald Trump who said he was glad to see Kim back in public view. His BFF, the same man who has completely hoodwinked Trump, Pompeo and others into allowing him to continue his nuclear ambitions unchecked while exchanging love letters. The same man who has ordered his political rivals to be eaten by wild dogs, blown apart at close range with artillery and poisoned in a busy airport with a deadly nerve agent or imprisoning or killing tens of thousands of his own citizens. Kim is a brutal thug. Period. DITCH MOSCOW MITCH The Senate majority leader, true to form, recently stated that the individual states that are being so strapped financially as a result of the pandemic should just “file for bankruptcy” rather than depend on the federal government for assistance. This is the same man who has recently given hundreds of billions of $’s to his corporate sponsors like the airline industry and others while the mom and pop business owners are left standing out in the cold watching their respective small businesses go under. “MOSCOW” Mitch has got to go, Kentucky. He has done absolutely NOTHING for us despite his claims to the contrary in his theater of the absurd political ads. Amy McGrath has called him out on it and the Democratic Party realizes how vulnerable this thirty plus year partisans Senate seat really is (his approval ratings are in the 30% category) and are going to match his negative ad campaign ad for ad. This is how he has managed to hang on to power for so long, and it’s time to end this cycle and his control over our democratic processes. DITCH MITCH!!! WHACKED IN WACO I mentioned a couple of weeks ago regarding the Netflix series entitled “WACO” and the role the federal government played in the unnecessary and tragic deaths of SEVENTY NINE individuals, including twenty five children who perished in the inferno that consumed the Branch Dividian compound following the FBI’s ill fated attempt to use tear gas to flush out the occupants. Although the FBI would later claim that David Koresh and his followers deliberately set the blaze in a mass suicide ala Jamestown, evidence suggests otherwise. From the ill fated ATF raid on the compound that resulted in a shootout that killed numerous individuals on both sides to the use of tanks to smash down the walls to infuse tear gas into the compound, including the vault where the women and children were huddled, the governments role in this entire episode should go down as one of the sorriest in American history. Koresh might have been a prophet or maybe he was just a misguided individual with incredible charisma and he may have bought a stockpile of weapons from gun shows (where’s the crime in that, especially in TEXAS!!!) that he had stored in the compound, but nothing he ever did warranted the overwhelming response of the ATF and FBI, utilizing everything from psychological warfare against the Davidians to shooting innocent men and women in the ill fated ATF raid. Much like what happened at Ruby Ridge, this is another case of the incredible abuses of power that can take place if the government is left unchecked. These poor individuals were seeking nothing more than to live in peace with their prophet and their God, and for that our government snuffed them out. So next time somebody from the government says they are here to help us, ask them why our law enforcement agencies, from local SWAT teams to the FBI and ATF to ICE have become completely Para militarized, from the use of military body armor, assault weapons and vehicles and lethal tear gas in order to keep the peace?!? When did this country become one where you are presumed guilty and sentenced to death without the benefit of a fair trial??? WACO was indeed a whack job. Shame on everyone involved for the outcome, which one could see from watching the six part series was inevitable from the very beginning of the federal government’s involvement. The local Sheriff was so unconcerned about the Dividians himself that he talked to them and David Koresh on a regular basis and often went to the compound unarmed. But the feds needed tanks. Talk about OVER REACH!!! |
