Interesting dilemma. I very much appreciate people pointing out the things that DJT administration can't legally/constitutionally do. That's important.

AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

If the US leaves NATO, who would be the US's allies?
Nobody. They would have nobody to bully in the press and nobody to backstab if there was a military problem.
Americans are the most untrustworthy nation, second to none, right now.
Nobody wants to be friends or trading partners with America.

“Help! I’m afraid that if I oppose ICE, I’ll be branded as anti-law enforcement!”
That isn’t a problem, bucko. That isn’t a real thing. ICE is not law enforcement. Illegal immigration is a misdemeanor. You’re the equivalent of having a death squad enforce parking rules.

Dear US Military,
As a person of faith, I believe in peace. Unfortunately we do not have it in Minnesota, because enemies within are threatening us and our allies. Please protect the people who cannot protect themselves.
I ask you to uphold the Constitution. Our government has not.
Thank you.

This new whistleblower report is on par with the Zelensky call - not just because it’s violative of law - but because they also tried to keep people from seeing it. I’ve been doing this for a long time and this is absolutely explosive news. Impeachable and criminal. Swift accountability must follow.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies.
At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

While we all know all this is to distract from the Epstein Files, everything Trump is doing to destabilize NATO is exactly what Putin wants so maybe we need to revisit the question of “what does Putin have on Trump”?
