White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats The Trump administration sidestepped skeptical lawyers across national security agencies as it pursued a military campaign against alleged narcotraffickers, officials say.

Stephen Miller saw actual competent lawyers as a huge threat to his plans for authoritarian rule, and so he started removing them and replacing them with hacks and sock puppets who would give whatever advice he wanted. In this, he followed a precedent set down by Cheney in the Bush 43 presidency.

I didn't expect her to (rightfully) mention the political/corporate influence machine.

She should be campaigning to overturn Citizens United.

chemoautotrophs could have developed without the sun. Scientific evidence suggests that Earth's first life forms were chemoautotrophs that evolved in deep-sea hydrothermal vents, relying on chemical energy from inorganic compounds like hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide rather than sunlight.

Definitely makes sense.

There's a theory that the angry male god idea may have come from mountain or volcano worship.

Idk how much merit that has, but it sounded mildly reasonable when I read it.

Except chemoautotrophs. They don't get life from the sun.

Sun worship was not uncommon, but no, not all ancient peoples worshipped the sun.

Trump sounded reasonable in this interview.

Suggestion:

Mamdani do a daily 15-20 minute chat with Trump. Maybe go hang out and play golf with him.

Trump might create Scandinavian-style health care, raise minimum wage, kick corporate out of housing, protect the environment, and fire his cabinet.

Please Ukraine,
don't let liar Trump bully you.

He will betray allies at the drop of a hat.

Trump stabs everyone in the back, except maybe Ivanka.

Donald Trump's idiotic proposal to sell off California's coasts to his Big Oil donors is dead in the water.
