EVERYTHING he touches . . . every impulse he has, then worked by the pond scum who live to reinforce his narcissism . . . degrades what little honor we have left in the world. He took away the opportunity for our children to love being a part of the World Cup. Is there no bottom to this disgrace?

Not sure this is limited to just children. I believe it is modeled in the behavior of the cult members defending the way they want the national norms to be shaped going forward.

The march into authoritarianism progresses with little to no friction. Very little legal effect, more and more people living in fear, less of our tax dollars being used to help everyday tax-paying citizens, all decisions walled off from scrutiny by more and more lies. This was not on my bingo card.

Does anyone have a copy of a case study where a nation successfully ended a reign of terror led by federalized police occupation without a civil war? I am not finding an equivalent scenario where the angry occupiers calmly disarm and resume their previous activities.

Thanks, US Supreme Court for ensuring the end of democracy. Given it is now considered within the “official duties of the President for which he is guaranteed immunity” to conduct political actions for retribution and solicit payments & gifts in whatever manner he identifies. #yourtaxdollarsatwork

A solid summary of where we are today. I do not know how much more of “Trump’s morality” the world can take. I again look to the Supreme Court for some accountability to the Constitution, and ideally, to an affection for the rule of law. You are now the architects of the most sick era of US history.

Impressive analysis from Brookings researchers. Takeaways: 1) Unnecessary animosity toward traditional allies, based on racist ideology; 2) Goal to carve up the globe between Trump’s desired alliance of Putin and China. He wants to secure a triumvirate of his chosen strongmen and set territories.

Hey Supreme Court: Do you have a description for what “core constitutional powers” and “official acts” Trump is allowed to perform under your fucked-up immunity clause? Because right about now . . . you have let this go too far.

Two aging “Strongmen” allied to protect their criminal enterprise(s). One, a spymaster financed by oligarchs to project dominance. The other, a charismatic tool of a billionaires’ cabal. Neither seemingly interested in fostering democratic systems or advancing humanity.

Where are our Federal funds? Can every state sue this administration for damages - and publish the long list of what has been taken away from the people? For example - they have reprogrammed our money to pay billions to their friends via contracts for detention centers. . . you ok with that?

I have been thinking about where people find “belonging” and how out of touch the vaulted term “academy” is. We need a reset of what we value as achieving spaces … and celebrate and support men (and women) who are using their wit, brains, patience, instinct, creativity and care to make life work.

Make it stop now: this “bill” is only beautiful to the king of graft, the billionaires who support him and racist people who are bullied by him. IF passed - it provides an army of unregulated police, prison camps and the tools to end elections. If passed …this is the LAST July 4. Wake the fuck up.
