The Syrian city of al-Bab is not very large. It's not very pretty. It's not particularly noteworthy in any way, but one - it happens to be strategically located in late 2016.
I know we are all caught up in the aftermath of the Trumpocalypse, and who is to blame for the non-election of the first female president, but I urge you take a moment and step away from that essentially useless and futile debate, because very serious and disturbing news came out of India last week.
Make no mistake about it: the political elites, whatever their party label, have got exactly what they wanted this election.
Clinton in Democratic Party minds is the popular President and even if she is not the actual President it was because of a hard fought primary that she is not, i.e. it's all Bernie Sanders fault.
We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought. But I still believe in America and I always will. And if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future. Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.- Hillary Clinton
(W)e now are going to want to do everything we can to help you succeed — because if you succeed, then the country succeeds.- Barack Obama
Of course Steve Bannon is not literally Joseph Goebbels. Joseph Goebbels was born in 1897 and had a club foot. He had a PhD in literature and was a failed writer (the thinly disguised auto-biography, in 3 parts no less, Michael was so bad he could only get it published by the Nazi Party publishing house Eher-Verlag and at that it was so poorly received that Part II is lost). He tried to make it as a journalist (the last refuge of desperation for a writer) and couldn't even do that so he ended up with menial jobs as a floor trader at the stock exchange and a bank clerk before finding a gig as a propagandist (not at disrespected profession at the time, we would call it Public Relations or Party Communications, Goebbels made it notorious) for the National Socialist German Workers' Party.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi probably thought he was pretty smart when he recently banned the country’s large currency bills, 500- and 1,000-rupee notes, 86% of cash in the market, in the name of fighting corruption. Instead India's economy was plunged into chaos.
The "Democrats" are making it very clear. They are not going to change, they are not going to listen to us, they're going to continue to obey their corporate masters. They want us back on their triangulation chain gang, the chain gang of the poor, the chain gang of working families, the chain gang of inequality, the chain gang of the ignored and the exiled and the betrayed.
The news reports that we are in the grips of a hate crime wave not seen since the civil rights era.
