Never Thought I’d See It

The military is on the streets, going after American citizens in the latest installment of things I never thought I’d see.

Washington D.C. is the city that will be under siege despite the fact that the crime rate is at a 30-year low.

So, why?

It’s pretty easy to break down.

1). Washington D.C. went deep blue in the election.

2). The maniac in charge is trying to distract Americans who are close to finding out that he raped children.

A heavy distraction is required.

What better way than to terrorize American citizens and further advance the authoritarian policies of this unhinged administration.

Saw my buddy from Portugal again today.

He was no longer joking about it.

“They took my sister,” he said. “She’s in Phoenix, Arizona and they’re deciding where to send her.”

“Oh man, that’s awful.”

“She was 1 year old when we got here! We have green cards. We are 100% legally here and we’re on the path to citizenship. We were anyway. Not anymore.”

“Your sister is definitely being sent away?” I asked.

“Far as we know. I can’t ask because I’ll be grabbed too. It’s horrible.”

I never thought I’d see that.

I certainly didn’t ever believe that the military would take to the streets to gather up our citizens, but the America that we pledged allegiance to every morning when we saluted the flag no longer exists.

“Can’t someone stop them?” My Portuguese buddy asked.

“Hopefully someone will eventually try to,” I said. “Now we just have to hold on for dear life.”

“Hope to see you again,” he said.

“Me too, buddy. Me too.”
