The ruling class — dominated by billionaires like Donald Trump and the vested interests that prop him up — have played the same name-calling game for decades. Legislate tax cuts for the wealthy, turn a blind eye to polluters, shut down tax audits on the rich, abandon antitrust laws, put corporate lobbyists in charge of the regulatory agencies and then attack anyone who calls foul a „radical.“

Public Trust in Government: 1958-2019
(11.04.2019)
Public trust in the government remains near historic lows. Only 17% of Americans today say they can trust the government in Washington to do what is right “just about always” (3%) or “most of the time” (14%).
My skeptics often accuse me of being boring, of hammering the same themes. They’re probably right. It‘s never made sense to me that a few people have incredible wealth and power while most have none. Should we ever achieve justice, I promise I’ll write some new speeches.
I look at each issue on its own merit. Partisan politics don‘t matter. It only matters whether something is good for the American people or not. That’s why many have a hard time figuring me out. I don’t play their games. I don’t fit in their boxes.
Gotta love the modern fascists… It doesn’t get anymore Orwellian than this, the fascists call themselves ANTIFA & assault any divergent opinion.
First skirmish I’ve seen. Didn’t see how this started, but @MrAndyNgo got roughed up.
Did Andy Ngo get what he deserved? The left blames the victim
‘What’s the matter with Portland?’ Andy Ngo asked in Spectator USA last November, after being insulted and intimidated while he tried to cover an earlier Antifa demo. ‘Why did I, a Vietnamese-American gay journalist, receive this reaction from a self-described anti-racist social justice movement?’

Ngo is an editor for Quillette who describes himself as “hated by [A]ntifa” on his Twitter profile. He recorded the aftermath of the day’s events on social media. The video showed Ngo with scars on his face in addition to what appeared to be swelling.

EU summit: Centre-left Timmermans tipped for top post
EU leaders will gather in Brussels shortly for talks to decide who should get the EU‘s top jobs, including a new Commission president.
Reports say the current favourite to head it is Dutch centre-left politician Frans Timmermans. He is a Commission first vice-president.
EU-Tobjobs: Timmermans gilt als Favorit für Juncker-Nachfolge
Wird Timmermans neuer Kommissionschef, könnte EVP-Spitzenkandidat Manfred Weber Präsident des EU-Parlamentes werden. Timmermans und Weber seien jedenfalls „Teil der Lösung“, ließ die deutsche Kanzlerin Angela Merkel wissen.

In der deutschen Presse… nun, sagen wir, in der Presse über Deutschland wird natürlich auch über den historischen Gipfel der Staats- und Parteichefs von Südkorea, den Vereinigten Staaten und Nordkorea jede Menge Müll geschrieben werden.
