Just another guy... hanging on in quiet desperation* as he watches the world self-destruct one day at a time, frustrated that he can do nothing about it. __________ * in the words of Waters/ Gilmour, who in turn borrowed from H D Thoreau
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

The Epstein class has issued a statement thanking its pawns for their coming sacrifice, saying: “Many of you will die, but that is a price Israel is willing to pay.”

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
Some celebrities donned anti-ICE pins at the Golden Globes on Sunday in tribute to Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer last week in Minneapolis. n.pr/49uZhj5
“The “rechristianization” of America for these extreme Christian nationalists is essentially a modern-day Reconquista. They view America as crippled by both degenerate foreign populations and the anti-Christian liberal forces that enable them.” www.liberalcurrents.com/remigration-...
Trump treats foreign countries like he treats women. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social:
When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

President Donald Trump continued his escalating threats towards Greenland, telling reporters that if he is not able to make a deal to acquire the Arctic territory "the easy way" then he will have to "do it the hard way."

What a great day for Vladimir Putin! I can picture him in the Kremlin, watching the EU & the UK play dumb while Trump trashes Int. Law, their media reporting Maduro's abduction as an 'arrest'. I bet he's thinking: Should I also detain Zelensky and subject him to Russian justice?
The US is now responsible for the governance of Venezuela. Toppling the regime of a smaller country is always the easy part. The hard part is what comes after. Neo-cons always expect a pro-US nirvana. It rarely works out. But I suppose the oil companies can seize some assets.
Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.
The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.
This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.
It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.
Donald Trump launched an unprovoked major military attack just 48 hours after declaring that his New Year’s resolution was “peace on earth.”

Before ordering a second strike on their boat, Adm. Frank Bradley sought legal advice from JSOC’s top lawyer, Col. Cara Hamaguchi, The Intercept has learned.
“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.
This will definitely get him the Nobel Peace Prize

Don’t just blame him alone. Blame the electorate that has chosen him. It was a fair election. He represents the mindset of more than half the population of the Untied States of America.
