No political leanings, but do not agree with people who say something is a fact because someone told them it was - without actually researching evidence.

Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

Trump is aligning the USA with Russia, against Europe, just for his personal benefit. That’s not how alliances work.

Alina Habba has resigned as US Attorney for New Jersey, after a court determined she was disqualified from holding that position.

AG Pam Bondi said that Habba would remain at the Department of Justice as senior advisor to the attorney general for US Attorneys. 😳

It’s pretty bad when the only person praising your military doctrine is Vladimir Putin.

“Russia's politics are defined by an authoritarian consolidation of power around President Putin, undermining democratic institutions and controlling public discourse, all while asserting itself as a major global actor” - and this is who Trump has aligned himself and his country to.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.

Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.

When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Follow up: it doesn’t say it’s illegal to fire on incapacitated shipwrecked. It just says it’s illegal to fire on the shipwrecked. Where’d you get “incapacitated” and why are you such an asshole?
Q: "The Pentagon's Law of War manual…says 'Orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal.' Given that, how was that follow up strike on the two survivors legal?"

Tom Cotton: "They were not incapacitated… They were sitting or standing on top of a capsized boat."
