Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

One woman said her father called in June to say he was going to be paroled after serving 20 years for car theft.
Then in September, she got another call: He was instead being transferred to await deportation.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Trump's using a gaslighting technique where you argue your case to the most extreme extent possible (truth is irrelevant) to pull the overton window in your direction. Remember the phone call that led to Impeachment I? Trump called it "the perfect phone call". 1/6? Trump called it "a day of love".
At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.
Trump responds to a detailed report about his waning energy and propensity to sleep through on-camera events by calling the New York Times's Katie Rogers ugly
