Thanks for the excellent article. Spelled it all out.

Very well said, an excellent expose of the "system", or as I call it the Epstein Predatory Pirana Class Parasites!

That's why they killed Fred Hampton and many like him sixty years ago because he was building coalition on class not exclusive to race. The authority and elite understand that very well how detrimental that can be to the power structure.

Two weeks ago Jasmine Crockett was on Colbert basically bashing Trump. There was no talk of the segment triggering equal time requirements. And I believe Crockett is running for the same seat as Talarico. Is this because Crockett is seen in terms of identity politics, which the upper class think they can manage?

I think so, they are more afraid of class coalition. They don't really care about the culture war; it is a distraction for working-class people.

I think that’s exactly it. Talarico challenges what people think about politics in a red state… he talks about a better way to govern, to deal with citizens and does it all in a rational, kind and soft spoken way. I think he’s the candidate to run against cornyn. Crockett, being more of a firebrand, would be more effective against Cruz.

Colbert, in a phony show of being ballsy, wants us to know he disobeyed management but gives a phony story to do so. No corporate media wants to air this young man's worthy ideas and principles, God forbid he says Free Palestine or brings pictures of Donald blowing Bubba. Colbert is a shitlib of the narcissistic kind. Thought he got fired but he keeps ticking.
