Every day things are being done at home and abroad by this regime that will take decades to undo and the stain of which will mark America forever Too few understand that permanent damage is being done to our country by the hour—even considering that we only know a fraction of it

this was a bad idea from people that are unbelievably high off their own supply
In January, behind closed doors at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre — Pope Leo XIV's then-ambassador to the United States - and
delivered a lecture.
"America," Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, "has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side."
As tempers rose, one U.S. official reached for a fourteenth-century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy, the period when the French Crown used military force to bend the bishop of Rome to its will.

ICE spent $200 million on two Georgia warehouses, far in excess of their market value. One of the warehouses is owned by Russian oligarchs close to Putin. Why, exactly did ICE do this? The agency's not offering any answers. www.ajc.com/news/2026/03...

Been saying it for a year now. And not as a guess, either: almost every single action taken by Trump since January 20, 2025 has in some way, small or large, advanced the causing of ending our democracy. He is not hiding what he plans. For some reason media has just been tepid in reporting on it.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here. Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning: Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime. And recognized as such by the US Government. From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors
or surrender accepted;
(2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such
that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted;
(3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable
ability to accept surrender would exist;
(4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate
forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and
(5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.
