The speech turned reality on its head in many ways. The president who has enriched himself and his family bymore than a billion dollarsin his first year in office called on Congress to clean up its corruption. The president who has collected about $175 billion in illegal tariffs from the American people falsely told them that he had given them a great big tax cut. The president solemnly condemned political violence—the same president who ended his first term by inciting a mob to sack Congress and overturn an election. Maybe most shocking, Trump demanded that members of Congress rise to agree that it’s the first duty of government to protect American citizens—even as his own government by its brutal police methods has shot American citizens dead on the streets and then tried to deceive the country about how those Americans had been killed and why. Then of course there were the manymisstatements of factabout the economy, about crime, and about wars and peace—many of which look like deliberate decisions to deceive the public watching on television.
One thing the dems did stand up for was the part about stopping corporations from buying single family homes... nobody would have stood up if he said 'we have to stop corporations from buying every apartment complex in the city'
Or all the land around every city, or all the farmland available.
Our governments sponsors wouldnt have appreciated that... the room would have sounded like crickets.
Even crazier to think; if corporations had to sell all the homes they've acquired all at once- we'd either have to bail-out the banks and hedge funds, or see systemic failure and capitulation that makes our old house of cards look like a fortress.
