Good morning! This is my first post of Bluesky. I am officially getting off twitter. I hate what Musk has done to that platform.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.
Just to level set

When this is all over, the US military and the Trump administration should be prosecuted for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

For Trump, this looks great. For many people, including me, this looks over the top tacky and classlessly ostentatious.

Let’s correct that: “…a murdered man’s file …”

And he wants to get a Nobel peace prize. For what??
This is madness! The “no new wars” president is taking us to war with Venezuela.

Bombing ships in the Caribbean, as an ongoing operation, without congressional authorization, crosses the line into an unconstitutional use of military force.

Mark Kelly has more courage and integrity in his pinky finger that Trump and Hegseth have in their bodies combined.

They will never make it into heaven!

It’s pretty sad when citizens of a country can’t trust what their PM tells them.

So he's going after Maduro for alleged drug trafficking, but he's pardoning the former Honduran president who was convicted of drug trafficking here for 45 years. We have bypassed the Twilight Zone and are now in the Outer Limits 😏

Embarrassed

That’s the best description of my response for America’s action under Trump.

Just completely, shamefully embarrassed by America - in every arena that Trump has influenced.

He is an embarrassment.
David Glosser, Stephen Miller’s uncle, told CNN his nephew is an “immigration hypocrite”:

“Had we not been able to enter America when we did, Stephen Miller would never exist” (2018)

The current President of the US is lawless. At least, he thinks he is above the law.
