Remember when the SCOTUS was considering limits of presidential immunity?

One of the arguments was, "What if the president ordered SEAL Team Six to assassinate his political rivals?”

We are now one step away from this exact situation.

Is the “bonus” classified as “pay” or an “allowance”? Military pay is taxable income; allowances are non-taxable. He could be shifting this from allowance to pay status, which would increase service members’ tax liability and decrease their take home $$.

NEWS: Trump prepares crackdown on leftist networks under guise of “domestic terrorism”

FBI is compiling lists of people to investigate based on “anti-American,” “anti-Christian,” “gender,” & “immigration” views.

In other words, the First Amendment is being incinerated.

This is fucking embarrassing.

I can’t wait for our next POTUS to throw all this shit in the trash.
Trump has added new plaques under his ‘presidential walk of fame’ in the White House.

On Obama: “Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President…One of the most divisive political figures in American history.”

On Biden: “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History...”

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."

Climate change is real.

It kills people and wildlife. It is expensive too, with dynamic weather events damaging infrastructure.

Conservation is one of the solutions we could embrace to mitigate impacts. “Energy dominance” should include resilience.

The signals are all there, we must act.
