[Prefatory note: This post if a modified and revised version of the previous post. I have rarely done this, but due to comments received, and further reflections on my part, I felt there was some aspects of the essay that should be clarified or elaborated.
A Talel of Two Speeches: Marc Lamont Hill on Palestine, Martin Luther King, Jr., on Vietnam
Lucky John Kelly! He won't be central to the final unravelling of the Trumpist House of Horrors. Trump, who had already promised Nick Ayers that he would make him chief of staff, finally worked up the courage to announce he was firing Kelly-- although, of course, not to his face.
Last week, Donald Trump, Jr (AKA- Fuck-Up, Jr) has been busy warring with PETA, the Department of Justice, SpongeBob, and the Midt
I still haven't bought a copy of Fear-- but I plan to... for a plane ride to Istanbul. Meanwhile I'm depending on Rachel Maddow and, yesterday on Greg Sargent in the Washington Post-- Another big Woodward reveal: Trump’s bottomless bad faith and nonstop lying.
Trump has zero credibility. Zero. Omarosa doesn't seems like someone who has much credibility either-- but I don't know for sure. She was just a character on a TV show that Trump dragged into the White House with him-- as much a bad joke-- compliments of Vlad Putin-- as he was. Trump I know for sure. Zero.

Just look at the Trump tweet from yesterday above.
Earlier today we mentioned that Trump grew up in a racist family and that he "inherited" the ugly bigotry from a father he always emulated and sought approval from. It's tragic-- for America, of course-- but for Trump and his family as well.
When people wanted to think Trump could turn into a normal president after the election-- fools-- there was speculation that he would put together an awesome, historic, bipartisan infrastructure plan that would unite the country. Instead, Trump, Ryan and McConnell decided to go for the tax scam for GOP donors, something that certainly killed any chance for a significant infrastructure effort.
On January 15, millions of Americans commemorated Martin Luther King’s Day. His famous speech, ‘I Have a Dream’ was repeated numerous times in media outlets as a reminder of the evil of racism, which is being resurrected in a most pronounced way in American society.
But that is only one version of Dr. King that is allowed to be broadcast, at least in polite company. The other, more revolutionary, radical and global King is to remain hidden from view.
