The Case For Resistance

Submitted by ub on

We may also call it defiance or opposition because Authoritarianism is an international infection and the disease has been gaining ground in democratic nations. However, autocracies like China, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, and others are facing challenges from within.

Our government may be moving towards Third Reich and Soviet territory. Our tax dollars being used to detain and abuse children FOR-PROFIT for indeterminate lengths of time with absolutely no oversight. It is only a matter of time before these designations will include anyone considered an enemy?

Sarcasm or Blasphemy?

Did POTUS call himself the ‘Second Coming of God,’ the ‘Chosen One’ or the ‘King of Israel’? Internet memes and several news reports played off Trump’s comments made in a series of statements during the month August 2019. He will ultimately be judged by the real almighty. Trump now says he is not the Messiah, and was only joking, instead of apologizing for his inappropriate remark.

Sharks aren't dead-eyed killers. They vary from anvil-headed lurkers to plant-eating Floridians. Biologists see distinctive behaviors in sharks, including whale sharks and great whites.

Sharks have social lives. They have a sixth sense, some live in schools, with a few which have lived longer than the #USA its founding, a civil war, two world wars... etc.

Lies Never Fly

Why do so many people lie? Some tell white lies while others insist on spreading big fat whoppers. Too many like to lie, including politicians who in some cases do it while they are looking at your eye to eye, while others know they are liars and hide from the truth.

Who definitely fears #Russia #NothKorea #NRA but attacks #FederalReserve #Elections #DanishPrimeMinister #Polls and many other important factors? Therefore, the best he can come up with is to simply change the narrative abusing the bully pulpit.

First, he says one thing and the next day he contradicts himself. Why does a bully who the media gave the pulpit to, go after the press, blue states, and many others? Why can't he focus on huge problems and solve them? Is he not capable?
