Reuters has done some really great investigative reporting on the impacts of Trump's retribution campaigns
Reuters reached out to everyone that Trump or his subordinates singled out publicly for retribution, and reviewed hundreds of official orders, directives and public records. The result: the most comprehensive accounting yet of his campaign of payback.

Q: Officials say the suspect in the DC shooting was vetted & it came up clean
TRUMP: He went cuckoo. He went nuts. There was no vetting
Q: Actually, your DOJ IG says there was thorough vetting of Afghans. So why blame Biden?
TRUMP: You're just asking questions because you're a stupid person

He could have simply said “I’m an imbecile.”
"I'm a looks person. I don't really care how seaworthy, safe, functional, or built to last they are, as long as they look cool and I can brag about them."
Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

Be more than thankful, be grateful.
I used to live in that space. The space where I could stop and be grateful. Not for possessions, but for my life, my wife, my kids, my family, my dear friends.
“Life is good.”
That was my silent mantra. And it was real. I carried it with me.

There’s a reason Caesar was forbidden to cross the Rubicon and return to Rome with his army. It’s what separates a relatively free society from a fascist one.

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.
Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

Trump publicly attacked these lawmakers, calling them “traitors” & saying their words were “punishable by death.” This jeopardizes the military’s apolitical standing & represents a threat to free speech in the USA.
