HERE’S THE REAL PICTURE OF RED-STATE AMERICA — AND IT SHOULD SCARE REPUBLICANS

BUSTING MYTHS AND EXPOSING LIES:
THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS IN CUBA
For the past 66 years, the United States has been strangling the people of Cuba. This is not an incendiary accusation made recklessly without overwhelming evidence. Cuban citizens have suffered for many decades. And now, they are suffering, and in some cases dying, because of deliberate hostile and unjustified actions by the United States. This comes at the direct command of the Trump Regime. This cruelty is intentional.

BUSTING MYTHS AND EXPOSING LIES:
THIS WAR IS OVER, IS EASY, AND/OR “WINNABLE”

“THIS TIME THE WORLD”
January 6, 2021 may seem like a long time ago, but it is very much with us today–only the danger is now far worse. It was America back then, is it now…this time the world?
It’s the big lie that never ends.
It’s the bloated arrogance that knows no bounds.
It’s the greed and grift — sanctioned in institutionalized stealing — by the rich and most powerful at the endless expense of the working class, so pervasive and jaw-dropping that they don’t bother trying to hide their theft and corruption anymore.
It’s the disdainful disregard of our own history littered with costly failures and painful tragedies so many times before, here and abroad, which might teach us a valuable lesson if we’d only try and learn — yet we never, never, never, never do.
It’s the selective enforcement of law and order, wrapped in the flag and bull-horned by verses in the Bible, at the cost of truth, science, morality, common decency, and the desecration of human freedom.
It’s placing public trust in the most untrustworthy of all of our citizens, despite all their proven misdeeds and crimes that we no longer find shocking, but now have come to expect, and many willingly accept.
Yes. All of it.
