I saw a red Chevy truck driving down Main Street this afternoon

I looked at it. It was red. Without a doubt. No question.

I saw Elon musk give a nazi salute with gusto. I looked at him. He gave a nazi salute with gusto. Without a doubt. No question.

There is no argument, hand wringing, questioning, analysis, equivocation.

ELON MUSK GAVE A NAZI SALUTE WITH GUSTO IN CELEBRATION OF A TRUMP PRESIDENCY. PERIOD.

If it looks like a nazi, acts like a nazi, salutes like a nazi, it’s a nazi.

To have watched Groucho Marx on TV?

Groucho had a saying, “who are you going to believe, me, or your lying eyes?”

Im 70. Back in the day we (those of us around back then) had to get up and go to the TV to change the channel or adjust volume. Easy task. We didn’t have that many channels. I remember 21 years ago in my Dads last days he’d ramble on remembering stuff and he said me and my brother were his remote controls. Dad enjoyed Groucho. I lacked an attention span.

But isn’t amazing how many otherwise sane people have lying eyes.

.... because he knows he has found a nice little niche inside the trDUMP admin where he will be allowed to fleece, plunder, and pilfer from the US Treasury to his heart's content.

The lands of being a trillionaire are on his not too distant horizon,... and soon to be within his grasp.

And he is defending Elon. He’s a big Trumper and defending Elon and they show pictures of Hillary and Obama waving to people but taking it out of context like they’re doing a heil Hitler salute as well it’s all bullshit.

When the ADL and Netanyahu whitewash and excuse the gesture as anything but a Fascist, Nazi salute, I get disheartened.

It makes it difficult, as a non-practicing Catholic to advocate for the truth when the actual victims gaslight us.
