I mean, if Putin gets to control how the media report on his wars of choice, why can't Trump???
Again, leaders of other countries don’t talk this way. The glee with which our current leaders talk about killing people is not normal, and nor is their lack of concern for who exactly we’re killing. American bombs incinerated 100 kids in Minab. Were those the “right people”?
This is what I have in mind when I say we shouldn’t rely on courts to save our democracy. 18 years after the fact, and they’re still mulling over whether the Abu Ghraib prison operators can be held responsible for torture.
Another day, another day to be embarrassed by these buffoons.
The inaugural FIFA Peace Prize winner:
UPDATE: Judge Nelson has ordered the release of a man "shockingly" described in a public post by DHS as "the worst of the worst" based on criminal charges that hadn't yet been filed and were later dropped.
That post may complicate his deportation too.

The history books, when written, will be unbelievable.
So, here is the rub with how American politics fails to deal with abuses of power. We just kick things to the courts, because politicians are weak. But, courts are slow. What good does it do for a court to determine it was illegal to destroy an agency and fire tons of people a year ago?
He has also deported dozens of dissidents back to Iran, where they were likely executed.
Over at Fox News, as oil hits $120 a barrel....
Yeah, this isn’t good for democracy.
Foc News was ordered to pay a ton of money in penalties for lying to its audience.
He’s wearing his branded baseball cap.

There is going to be a slow reckoning over the coming years about all of the crazy illegal behavior from the Trump administration and the institutions that enabled them. But I doubt there will ever be meaningful consequences.
President "give me a Nobel Peace Prize" is already lining up another war he wants to start.

When you goad people into believing that what a college student, without institutional, financial or social capital, writes on poster is bigger threat than what a regime cabinet member says from lectern, you've hacked being anti-semitic & using it as cover to silence valid dissent.
What happens when the Administration illegally taxes people? One answer is: they can simply refuse to return the money. What happens when a serial grifter who has stolen his whole life illegally taxes? He definitely refuses to return the money.

Gonna start a second war to distract people from the first one.
I too remember the earlier, woke wars. tons of spent microaggression munitions strewn about everywhere, friends crying out for God as they were slowly cancelled...look, if you weren't there, you'll never understand
This is an under-emphasized point. Congress has gotten very comfortable just letting Trump take power, in part because he does the unpopular stuff many members like.
ending her career lying about an orwell quote while the entire room is getting news notifications about how she’s been fired and clearly doesn’t know it, perfect
Did this single trader bet more than $34,000 that Kristi Noem would be fired this month just a couple of hours before she was in fact fired?

Kristi Noem gave her political operative a no-bid contract worth $143,000,000 of taxpayer money to make Fox News ads starring her at Mt. Rushmore. We will be following this story on a daily basis if it turns out that Hunter Biden was involved.
As I said, I’m always wrong.
I'm pretty sure this guy doesn't know what "human rights" means.
Are we sure Trump didn't get a taste?
I doubt she'll be fired soon. Trump won't do it during a DHS shutdown and the chaos around ICE. So, all Noem needs is another scandal from another department to distract attention, which in this administration should just be a matter of hours.
Then again, my predictions are rarely correct.
Once you start torpedoing ships in international waters, that are not involved in conflict, you cease to have a limited theater of war.
You have taken a war global.
Every single US asset and citizen, worldwide, just became a target.
Catastrophically reckless.
