Trump criticises 'weak' European leaders over Ukraine and immigration In his latest public criticism of Europe, the US president claims countries are

This is the consistent conflation of collaborative, consensus-based politics with weakness. His hateful “governance” by EO escapes all the messy consensus building that includes all groups’ requirements because including others’ views means looking closely at his own baleful coalition.

In view of the immunity decision, how so?

“Let’s talk about how you made the culture poisonous BEFORE I address how I have pointed out your poison in my journalism.”

The problem is his corruption and illegal behavior is all considered immune by the corrupt SC. How does one get past that?

Add the rapid expansion of USG debt levels as a contributing factor this time, too.

FBI Making List of American “Extremists,” Leaked Memo Reveals Are you on Trump's naughty list?

Think Nixon’s ‘enemies list’ expanded to include tens of thousands of us who simply speak out.

Of course, that would require people in leadership positions to take their jobs seriously. And how many of his sycophants will do that?

Spot on, Mr. Rather. 🎯 💯

The moral and ethical implications of agreeing with those who sympathize or contribute to the evil being done mean that the one agreeing compromises his/her own ethics.

That’s an interesting piece of hypocrisy, given the #OrangeFelon ‘s pardons of the attackers at the Capitol.

There comes a time when a Star Chamber is required.

His sabotage campaign against Europe gives lie to his statement. The EU should treat him as a hostile, carrying out a belligerent campaign against them, with measures (mainly financial, but diplomatic as well) to impose pain back toward him. Include an intense investigation to find his fortune, too.

Perhaps an equally important question is: Why is favoring rule of law, governance for the good of all, equal opportunity, honesty (anti-corruption), and justice considered to be leftist?

“Briefings notwithstanding, how does killing two survivors in the water qualify as legal under the Law of Armed Conflict?” That reporter missed an opportunity to pin her to the wall.

Organized blather sessions don’t make actions legal if they are not legal in the first place.

“You’re a fake president, a liar, cheat, sexual predator, and scoundrel. I won’t call on you anymore, I will go to your staff when I want truth or coherent words!”

There should be a standard announcement: “ICE has been sighted in [area]. They use racial profiling and bounty quotas to capture anyone who appears to be a migrant or immigrant. Their tactics involve teams of armed, masked men who rely on intimidation and fear to stage abductions. Avoid [area].

Good article. The crimes and the hypocrisy are shocking.

The Netanyahu Corruption Trial, Explained

Good article on Mr Netanyahu’s corruption trials. As you read the article, you’ll notice that the corrupt instances that prompted prosecution are directly analogous to #Trumpovich ‘s corrupt dealings, habits, and conspiracies. Birds of a feather - again. Gift article.

Experts work on UN climate report amid US pushback Some 600 experts began to work Monday on the next major UN climate report, as the international consensus on global warming is challenged by US President Donald Trump, who deems the science a "hoax."

If only the researchers and authors could point out the corrupt self-interest of #Trumpovich and his co-conspirators to exploit of causal factor of the coming crisis.

White collar crimes - for #Trumpovich - are not crimes.

And if you think of him as a Russian asset working against us, it makes sense because it sows dissatisfaction and chaos.

Trump Frees Fraudster Just Days Into Seven-Year Prison Sentence

And yet another. Birds of a feather. And the spineless #GQP says nothing.

Clear evidence of an illegal order.

Finally - someone who realizes that words have consequences, and that #Trumpovich ‘s utterances are not just political posturing, but revelation of his real attitudes and opinions.

Trump Announces Pardon for Honduran Ex-President Convicted in Drug Case

This only makes sense when you consider that Hernandez committed election fraud in the 2017 election, and he’s notably corrupt. Birds of a feather - again. Doesn’t matter that he worked with cartels.

Ignore the violent campaign against the (assumed / asserted) drug traffickers in the Caribbean.

Trump says US will pause migration from 'third-world countries' The president did not name which countries would be affected, but vowed to remove anyone

Reagan’s bright shining city on a hill will be surrounded by fences, armed thugs, and ‘go away’ signs. This will mark a ramp-up in #ICEholes activities, racial profiling, courthouse sweeps, neighborhood invasions, and general fear campaigns.

Green Card Interviews End in Handcuffs for Spouses of U.S. Citizens

This shows clearly that no immigrant is safe right now. The Government’s agents do not behave ethically, and often in violation of the laws that allow the peaceful, but slow, integration of immigrants through the legal system.

Such people might be divided in three segments.
1- Those who will join in because ‘others are doing it’;
2- Those who will aid because they aren’t doing the illegal acts, but they can make money from those who are;
3- Those who simply watch and defend the immoral, unethical, cruel and corrupt.

The real issue is how to deal with people who tolerate or applaud the unethical behaviors shown by #Trumpovich and his henchmen. Illegal acts are clearly punishable, criminally; but for followers who tolerate cruelty, criminality and corruption, their whole mindset is corrupt.

My thought for the day: the difference in response to unethical vs immoral behavior.

Immoral behavior violates social laws and norms, and it is punishable. Unethical behavior transcends societal norms and expectations, and it is seldom punishable except in narrow cases. Best to shun.
