Saw this online earlier today.

Doug Antelman


We are a Banana Republic. 

Don't believe it?
  • Extremely stratified social classes-check
  • Large impoverished working class- check
  • Ruling class plutocracy comprised of business political and military elites- check
  • Kleptocrats who maximize their financial gains on the backs of the every day workers- check
  • Elimination of accountability and oversight- check. (White House ethics officer quit, Inspectors General being fired, Intel heads fired, Attorneys General fired, refusal to comply with subpoenas from Congress, refusal to recognize authority of the legislative branch)
  • Nepotism- check.
  • Cronyism- check (see Elaine Chou and Betsy DeVos)
  • Policies designed to benefit the wealthiest- check
  • State run news- check
  • Attacks on the free press and journalists - check
  • Weaponize justice through Department of Justice- check
  • Enemies list- check
  • Attacks on free and fair elections - check
  • Dismantle checks and balances- check
  • Eliminate all internal opposition within the cabinet, agencies, their staff, National Security Council, Generals etc- check.
This is where we are, folks This all happened in the past three short years, right under our noses with this President and his administration.

Thanks, Mr. President!
Thanks, Republicans!
