It's more complicated than ethnocentric and our system is already fascist in an exceptionally American way.

‘God Bless America’: 100 Years of an Immigrant’s Anthem

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/02/a...s-america.html

Trump wants to take us back to “the good old days”:
Quote:
The song also inspired anti-Semitic and xenophobic rhetoric aimed at Berlin, a Jew who dared to ask God to bless America. At a joint rally of the Ku Klux Klan and the pro-Nazi German American Bund in 1940, leaders called for a boycott of the song. A week later, an article mockingly titled “G-A-W-D Bless A-M-E-R-I-K-E-R!” appeared in the Bund’s newspaper; the author derided the song as reflecting the “attitude of the refugee horde.”

The Trump administration says it's a 'myth' that families that ask for asylum at ports of entry are separated. It happens frequently, records show

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/l...701-story.html

PBS News Hour following just one of these 'mythical' cases. Thank goodness we still have a free press, to document Donny's crimes against humanity. History will not be kind to this despot and his henchmen.

Alan Dershowitz says ‘friends on Martha’s Vineyard’ are shunning him for defending Trump

How does a rational person defend a despicable human being such as Trump?
Best to move out of Martha's Vineyard.

Quote:
Alan Dershowitz says he has been shunned — first by old political allies who have stopped inviting him to dinners, and now by liberal elites who are trying to exclude him from their social circles on Martha's Vineyard.

The reason, he says, is his unrelenting defense of President Trump's civil liberties — a position that Dershowitz says he would have also taken for Hillary Clinton had she won the presidency and was similarly under investigation amid calls for impeachment.

'Dubious Fox News article appears to have sparked Trump attack on Obama'

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/factc...cid=spartandhp

Prez Dumbass has all the power and the vast intelligence apparatus of the US government at his fingertips but he swallows and then regurgitates such an easily discounted fantasy tale from an Iranian cleric. Fecking moron.

EPA's Pruitt asked Trump to fire Sessions, name him attorney general:

Quote:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency chief Scott Pruitt directly appealed to President Donald Trump in the spring to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions and name him as temporary replacement to run the Justice Department, CNN reported on Tuesday.
