The legal justification for Trump’s new war is so preposterously wrong that the Justice Department concealed it from Congress when Bill Barr first road-tested it for George H.W. Bush in 1989, even in the face of a subpoena. Then Barr lied about it under oath. slate.com/news-and-pol...
The Once Secret Memo That Trump Thinks Justifies His Venezuela Invasion
The legal theories the administration has floated to defend its actions draw on a historical source the president once disavowed.

Een jaar later en er zijn nog steeds mensen die doen alsof X een normaal medium is. Zo'n beetje alle Nederlandse politici bijvoorbeeld.
Hoeveel Hitlergroetjes zijn er nog nodig?
Als je kritiek hebt op mensen die er voor kiezen om toch nog op X (voorheen Twitter, gaap) blijven is het opmerkelijk te zien in hoeveel bochten die zich wringen en in hoeveel hakenkruizen ze zich …

It's also pretty clear that people are posting images of celebrities with the intention of driving engagement with replies asking Grok to take their clothes off.

For nearly a decade, I have been arguing that Trump was a neo-imperialist who believed in using force for crudely self-interested reasons. Many told me I was wrong, that Trump was some kind of "non-interventionist" dove.
This weekend, I was proven fully right.

Agreed. But how?
Here's how: All Dems/Independents must get out and vote for Dems in the midterms. That means vote Dem even if the candidate is not your perfect politician. It's that basic.
