Thanks for posting this. Just found an article that explained why some Northerners fly Confederate flags. It's not too surprising; mainly the flags are a protest against civil rights progress. Some historical background about how sales took off in the 1930s. www.vermontpublic.org/vpr-news/202...

He created an entirely new military branch because his cult cheered when he said something dumb at a rally. A branch he clearly has no clue what they do btw. (And that is just one of the myriad reasons it should be abolished.)

Also should be mentioned his destruction & desecration of the JFK memorial is exactly the same as if he was destroying the Lincoln or Washington memorials. Keeps getting lost in reporting he's destroying a memorial to an assassinated pres in order to aggrandize himself.

Their lies shouldn't be normalized. They aren't a 'bleak assessment' they're just lies (& why no one except his minions interviewed?) Presenting the lie the destruction is previous leaders' fault as a stated fact is normalizing the lie.

This feels like a milestone moment in Trump's China policy. Credible reports say China provided satellite imagery to Iran that cost American lives. Trump doesn’t deny it but brushes it off to save the summit. Meanwhile China says Taiwan arms sales could kill the summit, so the sales stay frozen.

It's also worth sharing this great documentary again, which came out last week, and was produced by another S-Tier ICE Air journalist, Chris Hansen, from KUSA-TV in Denver. I'm happy to share constructive criticism - I don't have any notes to improve this piece - it's exceptionally well-done.

He embarrassed them so had to be punished (prosecution itself is punishment since it costs him time & $). Judges should also take into account trump has weaponized courts like that his entire life - sueing in cases he knew were unwinnable but as he bragged, it cost the person $ & that was the point.
