It doesn't make us look weak. It makes the Army look strong for throwing this shit back in Trump's face. I am an American who is proud of our military today for not trying to look like North Korea. They are so bad-ass they don't have to Goose step to be cool :-)

The press will be asking this question right up to the moment the fascists shut them down.

Horse race coverage is easy. It's what they know. Actually reporting about policy is difficult and requires chops. It also requires a news org willing to publish that kind of thing. A whole 'nother issue.

More dumb "are we headed for" talk. If you don't know for sure right now, perhaps move over and let others report.

Just a reminder that the Republicans are happy for you to waste your time sputtering about their contradictions and lies. The point is grabbing and keeping power. Power is all that matters. They are laughing at you for pointing out, for example, that their policies are antichristian or antilife.

Too late! Every Republican is responsible. Only impeachment will fix this and begin the long, slow, painful process of repairing their reputations.

US stops orders for Portuguese wines The president of the National Association of Traders and Exporters of Wines and Spirits (ANCEVE), Paulo Amorim, has said that "the USA has stopped orders for Portuguese wines and wines from Europe".

As soon as I return home from this trip (Friday), I pledge to drink more wine. #portugal US stops orders for Portuguese wines.

Your final question should be: Don't you see what's happened here? Authoritarianism is a done deal. We all need to deal with that fact.

I'm visiting the U.S. The news, and the handling of it by American journalists, is so thoroughly nauseating that I cannot wait to return to Europe.

The rule of law is dead in the U.S. Miller will face no consequences in a court of law. Why even suggest this is a possibility?

Watching CNN right now as they talk about the Maryland man mistakenly sent to El Salvador. These journalists just refuse to call this what it is. They act like this is just some policy dispute. This is authoritarianism. It's here. Here now. This is NOT "what it looks like." This is it.

I was enjoying the strong dollar against the Euro. Looks like those days are over. I am getting truly sick of winning.
