Trump is the most vile, despicable person on Earth.

If anyone tries to hold Trump accountable, he will hide behind the Presidential immunity granted to him by the Supreme Court and let the field commanders take the fall for following his orders. The only choices for the military leadership is to resign or face court martial for disobeying an order.

Is Trump deliberately trying to incite violence as an excuse to declare martial law, consolidate his authoritarianism and suspend future elections?

It was just bizarre & scary. I felt sorry for those who had to sit through it.

You should have offered to host them all on your weekly YouTube Patreon happy hour Zoom call.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

β€œTo announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Here in Florida it’s termed β€œNo Party Affiliation” (NPA).
Many like myself are former lifelong Republicans who are fed up with Trump & DeSantis, but can’t stomach the inept, rudderless Democrats.
Full disclosure, I did contribute to Rubio’s last campaign for Senate.

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.

I’m old enough to remember Kent State.
With the National Guard in our streets, I fear we’re going to witness another similar tragedy.

As you discussed, no exit strategy.
We need more strategic thinkers, not politicians.
