What happened in Minnesota is a direct consequence of the violent way that Trump talks about his political opponents.

I'm blocking people who sneer at Pence doing this. Yes, I have problems with Pence too, but why sneer at someone for doing & saying the right things, even if they haven't always said & done the right things? Doing this right now takes balls, probably more than you have, anonymous internet jockey

Pence: "Individuals who broke into the Capitol, who assaulted police officers...should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...The heroes on January 6 were all wearing uniforms...To have pardoned the people who assaulted police officers that day, was wrong."

It is so tragic and highly embarrassing that someone so vile, petty, and bereft of decency is the president. I will never understand or have peace with it.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

The most frightening part of this opinion piece about trump ignoring the courts in @huffpost.com is this: "And — here is the truly terrifying part — he is getting away with it. No one is getting fined. No one is going to jail. In fact, much of America doesn’t even realize it’s happening."

However Scared You Are, You Are Not Scared Enough
Back during the campaign, Trump pretended his “Dictator on Day 1” talk was just a joke. One hundred days in, it’s clear he was not joking.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.
Pope Francis: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!"

As a reminder, when Trump says he is putting massive tariffs on China, or any nation, that means he is putting a massive tax on YOU. China doesn't pay a single penny. You, the consumer, do.
