Donald Trump is an authoritarian Fascist, and it showed through last night when he ordered the unleashing of rubber bullets and tear gas on legal protesters, so he could walk to a church and hold a Bible. He was trying to show how “religious” and “tough” he is, after threatening, illegally, that he would send military forces into the states, against the wishes of their governors, to quell the demonstrations related to the George Floyd murder in Minneapolis.
And in the midst of this outrage, not one Republican Senator or Governor, other than Lisa Murkowski to some extent, has spoken up in denunciation of Trump’s dictatorial bent.
The party has lost all credibility, and yet, at the same time, conservatives who are not in the government, have come out against Trump in large numbers, including most recently those in the Lincoln Project headed by George Conway, husband of Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway!
Hopefully, most of the elected Republicans who are coming up for election this fall will be retired by voters!

One of them already has.
Congressman Steve King, the Republican incumbent from Iowa’s 4th Congressional District, has lost his primary race to Randy Feenstra.
This means King’s career is effectively over.

Yes, D, I woke up this morning elated to find out that Steve King is done!
With all of the disgraceful Republicans in the House of Representatives, King was one of the three worst, along with former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who served from 2007-2015, and was a leading member of the Tea Party Movement and Caucus, as well as a Presidential contender in 2012!
The other total disgrace is Louie Gohmert of the First District of Texas, who is possibly the dumbest member of the House, but continues to have a following since 2005 when he first came to Congress, and has made many Republicans flinch every time he opens up his hateful, narrow minded mouth! 🙁
Barr has made the Justice Department Trump’s puppet.

The officer who killed George Floyd is now going be charged with 2nd degree murder, instead of 3rd degree.
The other three have been charged with aiding and abetting 2nd degree murder.
