Will Trump now claim he "obliterated" the regime?

No votes on ANYTHING untill we vote on the War Powers Resolution.

For all of the grief the NYT has received regarding its headlines, this headline is rather clever.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Always imagined quarterbacks singing this song in the 1970's when they lined up against Mean Joe Green.

Mike, you have clearly been hoodwinked by a study from that far left, ultra liberal, socialist Cato Institute.

I've responded to calls to peaceful protests encouraging folks to bring signs.
No one calls them billboards.

Trump & his followers are parasites. They are feeding on the fruits of systems other people built. They can never build anything of their own. They can't imagine, they can't grow, they can't nourish, they can only exploit, drain, & kill. They depend on their hosts.

Call only your OWN reps. Call even if you don't think they will listen.

1) Make staffers create a record and have to note that a constituent called.
2) Make it so they can't ignore the issue/Make clear you won't let this go.
3) Disrupt business as usual and the idea that people "don't care".

He is not "in science". He is in the business of undermining and destroying science.

Maybe that's because, traditionally, a President's signature policy doesn't violate the Constitution.
