Veterans are generally big supporters of Trump.
I didn’t want to write this up, but it’s so disgusting that I feel compelled to. And just to be clear, my rule of thumb is: if you don’t want to be called a Pig...don’t behave like one’. Surprisingly, RT.com has the fairest coverage I’ve read so far. My bolds.

This afternoon is the Movement for a Peoples Party Convention. Jimmy Dore is streaming it on his channel if anyone is interested. But this morning I want to suggest a bigger project... redesigning the nation with a new constitution.

Most of us know how the story of Covid in the US and how the government responded. I've offered a contrast in my comments and an essay or two from my experiences in Ecuador, AKA shithole country. Well, some big changes are coming here. In particular the restrictions are ending on Sept. 12th. That date marks six months since the #quedateentucasa, stay in your home, program suddenly rolled out. It was the result of a decree by the president of a state of emergency.
