“Who Broke Arm”

AS IF HE DID IT TO HIMSELF.

“Brian McGinnis, in full uniform, can be seen on video being grabbed by Republican Senator Tim Sheehy and three police officers. They lift him up in the doorway while he screams “no one wants to fight for Israel” with his hand in the doorway still. Then a snap can be heard, as McGinnis’s arm breaks.”

Comey Shows That Donald Trump’s Contempt for America Knows No Bounds | The New Republic

Comey Shows That Donald Trump’s Contempt for America Knows No Bounds

The indictment of the former FBI director is an un-American act. Period.

James Comey has done some things in his career that I didn’t care for and which I suspect you didn’t like either, for what I’m guessing are similar reasons. But those things are irrelevant today. As of Thursday evening, Comey is one more symbol of Donald Trump’s utter contempt for law and decency. To the extent that the United States of America was founded as a nation where the law was more powerful than any individual leader, the sinister indictment of Comey is the ultimate symbol—so far, that is—of Trump’s contempt for the United States of America.

Yes—contempt for the United States of America. This may confuse some Americans, who see Trump constantly wrapping himself in the flag, on some obscene occasions even hugging and kissing it—a Judas kiss from a man who has no understanding of what love of country actually means—and think of him as patriotic. But this is exactly what authoritarian thugs throughout history do. They bathe themselves in flag imagery as they torch the best values that flag represents.
