Whatcha Think?

We've found, and introduced to others here at Caucus99%, various opinion and news sources; from mainstream news, podcasts, webpages, videos and more. Some of these sources have changed in political orientation it seems, others are a bit more mainstream than they used to be. That's kinda natural, I guess. One has to go where the money flows, or something. I've really enjoyed learning about all these different sources from my fellow Caucus99%ers, watching the videos and reading the stories and opinions. Sure has taught me a lot!

So recently I happened across a news/opinion/podcast/wev station on youtube called 'Really American'. And I like it, so I wanted to post about it here. It's far more left wing than most anything I've seen recently. 'Really American' does some pretty good reporting and coverage of other news sources' reporting. The channel often joins in with the 'US Democratic Socialists' group which is also pretty cool.

Here's a very recent sample of 'Really American' about one of Trump's war crimes:

I've been fighting this cold/flu for several days now. Its diminishing but not going without a fight. Most all of the symptoms have gone except for the congestion and cough, which at my age is not good.
Earthling2 has come down with it and is slowly improving. Between the two of us, we have gone through three bottles of cough syrup.

The 25 th amendment to the constitution

.
Article 4, although vaguely worded, gives congress
authority to enact restraints on an incapable president.
I opine it is their duty to use their position to reign-in
the lawless behavior of the trumpet.

We assume this congress will not exercise their
duties to represent us as required at the 2/3 level of
agreement. Perhaps a strongly worded statement?
Weak tea for a republic headed into full blown fascism.

It's gangster nation as we threaten seizures of countries like Greenland, Columbia, Cuba, and so on...as we dictate with whom other countries are allowed to trade or associate...as we threaten the conquest of Iran...as we steal tankers in international waters...and sanction and tariff much of the world. Not to mention the gangsterism here at home, using ICE to kill or imprison anyone that doesn't submit, and targeting anyone who speaks out for Palestine. These are dark times at the end of empire. We're watching the collapse of dollar dominance, and the slow, slow, then sudden crash of our economy. We have a $7 trillion interest payment due just before midterms, and no one wants to buy US bonds. Folks, this country is going down the tubes, and quite frankly, given our behavior, it is for the best. However, to paraphrase Larry Wilkerson, "a dying elephant can do a good deal of damage thrashing around in death pangs".
