Week in Review. Haiti, Cyber Ninjas, the Texas recount and why the Democrats can’t win.
Green. Red. Gripe. Rant.
In this week’s Week in Review, we talk about the horrific assault by the U.S. Border Patrol on the Haitian migrant encampment in Texas. We talk about the roots of U.S. colonialism in Haiti, the social-economic-political turmoil that everyone from FDR to the Clintons to Trump has wrought there and why Haitians are trying to get out.
We also talked about the why the Democrats are losing to an increasingly extremist GOP. Even though polls show that majority of Americans are supportive and on the right side of the issues of the day (ex: Medicare for All, Defund the Police, climate, etc), the Democrats can’t seem to get anything over on the Party of Trump.
