Is anyone else tired of seeing headlines saying, “Trump panicking. . .”? I have yet to see any behavior of T that show he is in a state a panic. A state of drowsiness, yes. A state of irritability with reporters who ask inconvenient questions, yes. A state of moronic-ness, yes.

I served in multiple authoritarian states, both communist and otherwise--Russia, Vietnam, Iraq, the Sultanate of Oman, and Ukraine before the Orange Revolution brought in democracy. One common thread among all of them is government spending on propaganda to glorify the dictator/sultan.

White House airs another government-funded ad, this time with Trump warning of ‘final battle’ | CNN Politics
The Trump administration is set to launch another overtly political campaign ad funded by taxpayer dollars, attacking the “fake news media” and “the sick political class that hates our country.”

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

I listened to a R candidate for congress yesterday who pointed out that Calif drivers pay $1.30/gallon in gas taxes and then later said our gas was $6/gallon not because of the war, but because of our gas taxes. The math wasn’t mathing.

💭 Can you think of an ominous sign that the U.S. is backsliding on democracy? Here's one: An international election watchdog group that has observed every federal election for two decades won't be doing so for this year's midterms. All because the Trump administration didn't invite them.

Exclusive: These international observers have monitored US elections for decades. This time, the Trump admin didn’t invite them
It’s the latest ominous sign that the U.S. is backsliding on democracy — and adds to concerns that the administration wants to undermine the vote.

It seems a little crazy to me for the president to refuse to repair a government building unless his name is put on it after Congress allocated the money for it. Seems like something Republicans running in the midterms should condemn. Unfortunately they are too afraid of Trump

It's disgraceful enough of Donald Trump to skip the 9/11 Memorial in New York City, but to go golfing in Ireland instead—just to promote one of his properties—shows Trump's contempt not just for this solemn anniversary, but also for decency itself.

It doesn’t get discussed this way but Donald Trump refusing to pay his $100,000,000 tax bill is no different than stealing that money straight from the Treasury.
