Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

This book has been so soothing. I have probably learned more about the foreign policies that shape the world just in the first three chapters than I have in at least the last 15 years of news media. 🙃 It's helped clarify a lot of the absolutely batshit nonsense of the current timeline. COMFORT READ

If Trump doesn't help you see what a decent man Biden was when he was in office, then you're beyond hope. And don't bring up him pardoning his son. You are seeing what hell the GOP are putting people through. I say GOP as they are complicit in this "Trump Reich" of terror.

He hates women because he’s always had to buy them (or assault them or rape them). Perhaps, despite his delusions and narcissism he subconsciously knows he’s repulsive & inadequate.
Sadly, we got used to this. But we need to continue to call out Trump's sexist language - it's unacceptable.

It amuses me how YouTube videos keep insisting that Cillian Murphy “is ACTUALLY funny” (I quote) because of course, he doesn’t ever seem to be. Well, he may be funny for his family & friends, but heck, why should he perform for clips on YouTube? He ain’t a ‘stand up’. Your pathetic efforts fall flat
