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.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.
You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.
It says it right in the Constitution.

Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

In the UK, those aged 65-80 are eligible for shingles vaccination under the NHS, and so is anyone outside that range who has a severely weakened immune system.
You need two doses, 6-12 months apart.

Of course, with Trump’s heinous and ever lengthening rap sheet, him even being president is multifariously unconstitutional.
Legal experts say there is no basis in the US Constitution for a president to revoke pardons.

Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
