So long as Trumpworld treats the law as a puzzle to solve or an obstacle to overcome instead of a process to follow, they will be constrained even more tightly by it—at least, unless the Supreme Court bails them out once again. trib.al/IF4Ip1e
Trump’s Federal Prosecutor Picks Keep Backfiring on Him

Europeans accuse Putin of feigning interest in peace after talks with U.S. envoys stall
The Russian leader “should end the bluster and the bloodshed and be ready to come to the table and to support a just and lasting peace,” said U.K. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper.

It really isn’t said enough how much these people straight up hate America. People should say this a lot more frequently. They simply don’t like the good parts of modern American life.
"Sources in the Trump administration have previously told Zeteo that officials will at times intentionally use popular music from vocally anti-Trump performing artists, in order to trigger a negative response from a famous liberal and provide further amplification of their pervasive culture war,"
NEWS: The Trump-Vance White House is attacking Sabrina Carpenter.

In a new statement, the White House — led by Trump, a liable sexual abuser mired in scandal for ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — suggests Carpenter is "stupid" and is defending pedophiles and rapists.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?

Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.

He served for 37 years.

I hope it’s now (even more) obvious that having military in our streets, with instructions to ignore “stupid rules of engagement,” is not in any way intended to protect us or make us safer

Lets explain how escalating/manufacturing a military confrontation with Venezuela gives the administration a legal “hook” to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, one of the oldest national-security laws still on the books. This statute allows a president to detain, restrict, or deport non-citizens

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.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

They are lawless bestial scum.

One of the worst things about the Trump shitshow is the blatant disingenuous gaslighting. Fox News an MAGA bootlickers justifying murder because drugs meanwhile pardoning the biggest drug traffickers and bringing in drug cartel family members. They don’t give a shit about the drugs.
