From the beginning, the shooting in Butler, PA on July 13th has been filled with confusion. http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/?p=241064<\/a><\/p>\n

The failure of the Secret Service is undeniable while creating a cesspool of potential speculation as to what really happened and who is responsible.<\/p>\n

Many others have already dissected every current aspect of this tragedy that represents the latest step in the US morphing from a Constitutional Republic into an incompetent National Security State and now a Banana Republic led by demented Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

His anticipated replacement has his own problems despite the glorification of him by his base following Trump’s response to the attack.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the biggest question for those who want convincing answers comes after his remarks about all that blood gushing from his ear onto his hand: http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/?p=241096<\/a><\/p>\n

But unless this video is fake, Trump needs to explain where’s the blood because its not there on his hand or his shirt with barely any trace more than a dried clot over his ear and a small streak across his face.<\/p>\n

It’s all part of the surreal, Kafkaesque dynamic of contemporary America where little seems authentic including the charade of the presidential election.<\/p>\n

It’s a bizarre, unfunny parody of what should be the exercise of self-governance by a free people acting by informed consent. Instead it’s the tragic opposite with little hope any of those pretending to have answers can deliver us from this horror show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-241448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=241448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241448\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=241448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=241448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=241448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
