There are laws about how to interdict suspected criminals on the high seas.

There are laws about how to renovate federal buildings.

There are laws about how not to monetize the presidency.

There are laws. We should enforce them. And not normalize the flagrant violation of them in the newspapers.

The president is establishing the principle that he can order the murder of anyone he deems a threat.
And Congress is letting it happen.

What we have here, in addition to Trump's gaudy, vacuous bric-a-brac he has glued to wall in the Cabinet Room, is our monumentally incompetent SecDef telling the most unhinged president in history about an attack on another civilian small boat, this time in the Pacific.

Basically all US policy is at this point about indulging Trump’s irrational obsessions, petty grudges, and corrupt grifts, and then taking secondary and tertiary measures to mask the consequences of those policies.

lol, great, so we're now subsidizing Argentine ranchers at the expense of American ranchers. Seems politically sustainable, no questions from me.

Of course they deceptively edited this viral clip now playing on a loop outside Mike Johnson’s office by cutting it mid-sentence. Here is the rest of the part they cut out.

The brutality. The corruption. The lies.

Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson.

Watch.

Illinois is truly in the Middle of Everything, with a tourism industry that's booming like never before.

With yet another record-breaking year, we really have something for everyone as a world-class destination — and we are proud to welcome visitors from across the globe.

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.

This week Trump
–released vid of dropping feces on protesters
–swung a wrecking ball into the WH
–demanded $230M from the Treasury as an “apology”
–saw a pardoned J6 rioter arrested for trying to kill top Dem
–said he’s greater than Lincoln or Washington.

It’s only Wednesday.

Trump already made the Oval Office look like a movie-set whorehouse; imagine the White House ballroom he’s building.

Money doesn’t buy class.

3 small children run to escape ICE raid in Idaho manage to find family.

"I didn’t get caught," boy says. "Nobody got some handcuffs on me."

Dozens of minors were among hundreds detained zip tied and separated from parents.
