i have noticed that trumpers have shut the fuck up for the most part, just like these same people did when bush's approval went to the 20s. it was awesome, because you knew they didn't really believe he was wrong and were so mad all the mud-brained moderates turned on them

Top military lawyer concerned about Trump βdrug boatβ strikes was ignored: report
The senior judge advocate general reportedly raised concerns that the airstrikes against the alleged βnarco-terroristsβ could amount to extrajudicial killings
When the top JAG at Southern Command told the Pentagon that their plans to blow up fishing boats based on suspicions that they might have drugs in the cargo hold was certainly illegal, Hegseth simply ignored him, while others told him his career was over. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

An important part of the job for any WH Press Secretary is to clean up remarks made by the president or offer explanation/context or apology when warranted. But Leavitt never does that. She always crafts a response that makes it even worse by adding her own toxic twist.

Kaitlan Collins caught Karoline Leavitt in real time:
As Leavitt walked off, Collins called out, βKaroline, you misquoted Democrats in that video. Thatβs actually not what they said.β

Chris Freiman tweet: Capitalism won't make most of us as rich as Elon Musk, but it'll make most of our grandchildren richer than him -- just as it made most of us richer than Rockefeller in nearly every way that matters.
My reply: Evidently economic precarity isn't one of the ways that matter. Rockefeller didn't fear living on the street if he missed two paychecks, or spend half his working hours earning rent.

Trump is now seeming to endorse execution for his perceived enemies β retweeting a post that called for the hanging of Democrats who told servicemembers to refuse illegal orders.

Trump ranting about sedition, hangings, and death because some members of Congress said that US military personnel have to follow US law is quite bad, yes.
But it's frustrated impotence more than actionable threat.

President Trump has called for Democrats to be executed for sedition. The voters expect Democrats to come to the table with a real counter-proposal and negotiate a mutually acceptable compromise. Thatβs doing politics the right way.
