Tornado Alley (PROG)

[fuagf]

Yep, It's a nightmare alright -- Excerpt -- It can’t be real: A power-engorged president Beta testing martial law by sending troops into made-up emergencies in American cities, a certifiably insane head of Health and Human Services with zero medical background unleashing disease on America, a boatload of Venezuelans whose identities and intent we still don't know after eight days, blown up by the U.S. military on the unproven premise they were fentanyl-smuggling fiends; ICE agents, like Brownshirts, breaking car windows to extract petrified immigrant. Swimming behind each increasingly fascistic executive order by an intellectually lazy president is the pallid, malevolent face of cartoon villain Stephen Miller, working late in his office on his deportation quotas.

And as morning dawns, we are freshly assailed by the coarsening of American public life, circling the drain. We no longer even blink when the sitting vice president tweets at a citizen who called the Venezuela strike a war crime, “I don't give a shit what you call it,” or the White House press secretary sneering about a network news anchor, “She’s stupid. You can put that on the record” or the Treasury secretary, who is supposed to be Wall Street’s grown-up in the room, threatening to punch a top housing finance official “in the fucking face.”
