How far we've fallen as a country that the President of the United States hosts and lends credence to some of the worst elements of society that do nothing but spread lies and conspiracy theories. So very sad.

Really excellent explanation by Ryan Goodman of the legal justifications (or rather the lack thereof) of Trump’s boat strike, and of some the (chilling) further implications. An important conversation, I thought, if not a cheering one.

Trump’s crypto portfolio of approximately five billion dollars - 100% of which was amassed while he’s been in office for only eight months, is worth more than ALL of his properties combined which he’s worked for his entire life.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history.

So, this administration blows up a boat in non-U.S. waters, killing all passengers on board, claims it was a gang smuggling drugs, provides no evidence, and we're all just supposed to believe the FOTUS? #Bullshit

I think going to war with Iran is a terrible idea, but no one believes this “two weeks” bit. He’s used it a million times before to pretend he might be doing something he’s not. It just makes America look weak and silly.
