The entire administration thinks that everything is about trolling. They think trade deals between nations are about posturing instead of being about *trade*. It’s infantile and destructive to everything we have.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

The President telling a prime time network news host effectively "I got you this job" is not something you see every day.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

Russia's full-scale invasion has now lasted 1,417 days, matching its WWII participation. Soviet forces reached Berlin and took it in that time, while Russia's army "heroically" advanced 60 km from Donetsk to Pokrovsk, with losses per square kilometer exceeding Stalin-era records.
