I have a hard time deciding which are worse. The retributive fake indictments against longtime Trump "enemies" or the ones where just a random person is picked out because of the need to retrofit reality to a latest Trump tweet/meltdown.

After We the People impeach AND convict Trump, he needs to go in front of a criminal court for MASSIVE fraud of the people of the United States. Then on to The Hague for crimes against humanity (including mass murder in Iran and aiding mass murderer Israel).

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

When Bush did "Mission Accomplished," the US military had actually accomplished something: defeated the Iraqi military, overthrown Saddam Hussein's government, and occupied the capital. Badly premature to treat the whole thing as over. But by contrast, Trump hasn't accomplished anything in Iran.

Frogs at the tadpole stage can do this naturally in pristine conditions but pollutants can also trigger this reaction. The common herbicide Artrazine can cause this. So can overly warm water. Maybe Republicans should regulate the chemicals and do something about global warming.
