Everyone knows. Everyone. The only question is the details and proving the case. And yet, day after day rolls by in which a president who is obviously compromised by a hostile foreign power that committed massive felonies to put him in office, still continues to occupy the Oval Office not just as a placeholder, but as a wrackful whirlwind of destruction of decency and democratic norms.Well yes, but evidently it isn't going to happen. Anyway, what we already know is damning. But the corporate media and even the congressional Democrats are too cowardly to say so.
There are dozens of people who know the truth. It would only take one of them to expose this charlatan once and for all, and end this incredible charade. At some point a sense of patriotism and pride in democracy must overtake personal ambition and fear of recrimination before it’s too late.
Discussion of public health and health care policy, from a public health perspective. The U.S. spends more on medical services than any other country, but we get less for it. Major reasons include lack of universal access, unequal treatment, and underinvestment in public health and social welfare. We will critically examine the economics, politics and sociology of health and illness in the U.S. and the world.

What everybody knows
David Atkins is shrill. Actually he always is. We find ourselves in an incredible circumstance. Apart from die hard rationalizers, it is common knowledge that the occupant of the office of the presidency is a stooge of Vladimir Putin, the ruthless dictator who rules over an adversarial power. Furthermore, he is grotesquely ignorant, incompetent, paranoid and egomaniacal. Vladimir Putin put him in office, and inflicted this disaster on us. Atkins concludes:
The corporate media is in cahoots with the congressional Republicans and Democrats to sell advertisements, of course ... there seem to be very few folks interested in telling the truth because most are interested in making money and staying ignorant. It's like in the musical, "Chicago": "Give 'em the ol' razzle-dazzle ... razzle-dazzle 'em ..." I mean, Copernicus and Galileo got in lots of trouble for telling the truth!

Oops ... we're there. And most of us are less rich, too ... and that's puttin' it nicely.
...it is common knowledge that the occupant of the office of the presidency is a stooge of Vladimir Putin...
ReplyDeleteThis statement is looking sillier and sillier as time passes, especially when the tomahawks are flying and the sanctions are being levied.
