Democratic politicians need to stop accepting Trump’s white nationalist premise that immigration is bad and proudly and loudly make a positive case for why America’s identity and history as a nation of immigrants is so important.

I think Trump misunderstood when Putin told him he was a sleeper agent.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.
So there’s that, too.

I wrote about how no one knows for sure what's going to end this nightmare, but the possibilities are expanding, and we can help them along. Includes some thoughts on the Hola Massacre, the Falklands War, and Watergate (because extrajudicial killing, an unprovoked war, and presidential impeachment).
This may be the last time
I don't know exactly what will end Trump. And neither does anyone else.

Taxation without representation 🤷
CNN: Trump administration just made this new announcement. Those who have not yet updated their license will have to log on to a new TSA web portal and then pay a $45 fee. That fee is valid for 10 days, but if you try to fly after that 10 day window, you'll have to pay the $45 fee again.

Every ICE thug today gearing up to hunt brown people in the city of New Orleans can eat an entire sack of stale, unsalted dicks. They and the administration they serve are displaying our fallen nation as an ungrateful, soulless shitpile of gutless, frightened race-hate. We are forever shamed.

1/6 - Yesterday eve, Trump had a hypomanic episode borne of narcissistic rage. He made post after post after post. Short posts. Reposts. Hundreds of them. His gut was a simmering stew of agitation and desperation. His malignant pathologies rule him, projecting his malice outwardly.

Again: Trump never cared about drugs. Just like republicans don’t care about the debt.
It’s about power, corruption, and tax cuts. Whatever benefits him/them personally.
Follow the money.

Admiral Holsey is to this serial murder in the Caribbean as Hugh Thompson was to the butchery at My Lai --
that is to say a great American and a lone, solitary credit to its armed forces in a moment when a great and unremovable stain was put upon the honor of the entire American military.

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.
