Trump is basically claiming that he pardoned a crook who didn't deserve it for purely political resasons. This alone is worthy of impeachment and removal; overall, Trump's abuse of power pardons are easy calls for legitimate impeachment and removal. Whether he brags about it or not.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

It’s the “Good czar, bad boyars” thing that Russians use to excuse Putin. It’s not the tyrant’s fault, it’s the fault of the advice the tyrant gets. It’s so stupid. Also, so is Tillis, and everyone pretending like he’s anything but a gutless coward when it matters.

a big part of being a good president is being smart about who to listen to, and organizing your office so you get good advice. trump is a uniquely terrible president bec (a) he refuses to listen to anyone who disagrees with him about anything, and (b) if you flatter him he'll do anything you ask.

A good article, but the GOP committing to defense of democracy won't happen. We must create disincentives for lawlessness and collaboration with fascists, and that means punishment. Either we impose consequences or we allow the GOP to keep making things worse as it has continually done since Nixon.

Just comparing the stenographic account of fantasizing about catastrophic mass casualties with the one shot full of drama and high stakes of an obvious gaffe.
Bayliss Wagner
Political reporter

After justifying the Iran war as necessary for "keeping the world safe," Trump suggested there could be strikes on the United States, including certain cities in California.
"They could take out a city," he said. "Let them take-Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego."coin-toss election, where any small shift theoretically could be decisive, Mr. Biden has twice caused headaches for his vice president with ill-timed gaffes. His latest, during a video call with Latino supporters on Tuesday night, forced Ms. Harris to spend part of the last Wednesday of her campaign distancing herself.
Mr. Biden was denouncing racist comments made by a speaker at a recent Donald J. Trump rally when he appeared to call supporters of Mr.
Trump "garbage." He later explained that he meant that "the hateful rhetoric" from the Trump surrogate was
"garbage," not his supporters generally.
But Republicans, expressing umbrage, quickly pounced on what they hoped
