Gavin Newsome Empties Homeless Encampments as Ruling Class Outsources Assassination to Keystone Cops

Among all the people I know who hate and complain about Trump, I am the ONLY one I know who actually organized or marched against Ubu Donald. So when I say I have no bias, I have bona fides to back that up. I thought this when it happened, and I'll say it again -- this stinks from a mile away. Hear it for yourself. Kimberly Cheatle, Secret Service Director, refused to testify willingly and had to be subpoenaed. They’d set up the stage 150 meters from a prime spot for a sniper, well within range of an AR-15, which can be purchased at any Walmart. When Chaetle is later reminded that she herself called the assassination attempt politically motivated, she doesn't say, "Yes, I did," but rather, "I don't know how that got out." She then goes on to call it both a failure and a preventable catastrophe. This should bother you -- whether it's Trump, Obama, Bush, or John Tesh and Mary Hart's mutant lovechild, we should care. These parties and the patrician class and whoever else that ran this sloppy shitshow of an operation are so goddamned emboldened now they don't even care about getting their story straight.

Remember: this dressing down is bipartisan. I suppose that’s because Nikki Haley, the Clinton Machine, and our intelligence agencies are all prime suspects at this point, whether they had their grubby little paws anywhere near this or not.

This is the kind of absurdist theatre we see when bloated regimes disintegrate. A fish rots from the head down. Never was there a more apropos time, a more suitable axiom.
