Should?

Should is a meaningless word in this sentence.

Demanding Support for Trump, Justice Dept. Struggles to Recruit Prosecutors

This is important โ€” and very heartening โ€” news:

While about a dozen of the biggest firms bent the knee to Trump, hundreds of the most experienced DOJ lawyers have quit, refusing to participate in the abuse of government power for Trumpโ€™s illegal ends.

I don't believe that he supports trump in any way. And I've seen and heard proff of that.

What are your sources that make you believe that he is?

Never mind....

The most revolting issue with this story is not that ICE has murdered 8 people, unfortunately. Only 2 of these victims ever made it to the headlines, simply because of the color of their skin. The other 6 victims werenโ€™t worth mentioning because they were too dark. Think about that for a secondโ€ฆ

Senator, who has repeatedly warned about secret US government surveillance, sounds new alarm over 'CIA activities' | TechCrunch The two-line letter to the CIA's director is the latest warning in recent years from a long-serving Democratic senator with knowledge of secret government programs and intelligence operations.

An inveterate Trump loyalist is running the CIA.
What could go wrong?

The law says the CIA and NSA cannot operate domestically, except in very narrow cases such as the FISA program.
We also know how scrupulous the Trump regime is about staying within the law.

Raw America (@rawstory) THIS IS GREAT: Sir Ian McKellen destroys Trump on Colbert last night by performing a Shakespeare monologue from Sir Thomas More. Fits the historical moment exactly. Make sure this gets around!

Yeah, maybe I missed it, but what's Liz Cheney doing?

She was the strongest Republican to oppose trump, back in the day.

We live in a new age of superstition and witch-hunts, where legend and myth and rumor are as real to the masses as proven fact, enabled by a digital dreamscape where any idea that seizes people emotionally quickly generates its own evidence and community of true believers. Many examples. Bad for all

Asking about, or explaining ANYTHING trump does is _your_ error.

He just says stuff.

Trump is insane, anyone who doesn't agree with this, is insane or making million$ by pretending that it isn't so.
