Ruling Class Treason

"We don’t grasp internally what an oligarchic class is finally about, or how venal and morally bankrupt they are. We need to recover the language of class warfare to grasp what is happening to us. And we need to shatter this self-delusion that somehow if, as Obama says, we work hard enough and study hard enough, we can be one of them."
- Chris Hedges

Has This All Gone Too Far?

I'm a bit worried about the state of America at the moment. My friends and family are suggesting we should invoke Article 25 to have DJT removed from office. After 9 days of being President.

This strikes me as being a bit harsh, because I don't see any "the republic is on the brink" reasons to invoke this clause for the first time in the nation's history. By the way, this is by no means a defense of DJT or his henchmen, or his negligently underqualified cabinet.

If this be treason, make the most of it; another Obama fail

Any betraying, treachery, breach of faith, or betrayal of trust.
