Fear and Loathing in the Land of the Free

It's absolutely ironic that the Current Occupant would threaten to call out the military to stop protesters from exercising their Constitutional rights. Members of the armed forces should be appalled. After all, they accept applause and "thanks for your service" because of the notion they defend our freedom from those who would threaten that freedom.
The Current Occupant didn't get it when NFL players "took a knee," and he doesn't get it now that people are fed up with police brutality and the other injustices of our society. Criticizing and threatening to punish those who object to being excluded from the freedoms we supposedly hold dear in our country is racism in its most transparent and blatant form.
His order to tear-gas peaceful protesters in the Nation's Capital so the streets would clear long enough for him and his lackeys to walk across Pennsylvania Avenue to stand in front of a church he doesn't attend, holding a Bible, and presenting himself with a photo op, reveals the depravity of his soul, his complete lack of compassion, and displays the dishonor he continually brings to our nation.
