simonturkel.bsky.social @simonturkel.bsky.social · 08/10/2026A military fixated on appearances & violent discipline — “laying on hands“ — amounts to bluster & retreat. Put faith in a motivated, self-respecting force. 010
simonturkel.bsky.social @simonturkel.bsky.social · 22/09/2026US bad-faith under Trump rules US out as peacemaker. Trump thinks he can destroy US moral standing yet still play the game of all-powerful summitry. US power depends upon all that Trump is destroying: prestige, respect, commitment, trust. 010
simonturkel.bsky.social @simonturkel.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Russification is the game. Rick Wilson made terrific point that Trump, a classic abuser, means to isolate victim from friends. Trump means to cut us off from allies, & push us into column of lawless dictatorships. 1 100
simonturkel.bsky.social @simonturkel.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Trump is a traitor. The titles of our government —President, AG, DHS, envoys, etc. — are being used to destroy us. We must stop them. 000
simonturkel.bsky.social @simonturkel.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Trump's conduct in office is criminal. I'm listening now to an award of $5.5 million to Zerev, US Open Winner. This $ depends upon a web of laws. I am glad for Zerev. Astonishing that so many rich people prop up Trump, not seeing that wealth is first casualty of breakdown of law. 1. 100
simonturkel.bsky.social @simonturkel.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Trump invites government by accusation, retribution, conspiracy, lies. Space for honorable, conscience bound, lawful exercise of power shrinks. Trump's deliberate degradation is grave offense 000

simonturkel.bsky.social @simonturkel.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Arrest of Milo so-and-so no good. Trump & Miller want to train the public to accept round-ups of undesirables. To accept jailing anyone who looks at the boss cross-eyed. No cheering for jailing immigration violators. 000

simonturkel.bsky.social @simonturkel.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Firings at National Intelligence. Prelude to Trump lying about foreign influence when he loses in November. This is a damnable business.

simonturkel.bsky.social @simonturkel.bsky.social · 27/05/2026Blanche intends to include a few sympathetic cases in the slush payouts. The first objection is that the $ is ill-gotten.

simonturkel.bsky.social @simonturkel.bsky.social · 21/05/2026 Invade Cuba? Violence to compensate for Trump’s bungling in Iran. Cuban tyranny cannot be remedied by US war. Trump is not trying to remedy tyranny. Trump is using US forces for his vain selfishness. 000
