Unfit for Office
Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

Casualties in World War II: Soviet Union: 26,600,000. United States: 407,316. And the Russians got to Berlin first. So, no, the United States did not do "more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result 'on' World War II." That is just propaganda.

Renaming Veteran’s Day and the planned “Trump Military Parade” is a playbook straight out of North Korea. Draft-dodging Trump is now flexing the might of the US Military, but its not for our enemies to fear. It’s for you. The administration wants you to fear their Dear Leader.

Dear god let this man cook.
Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

I would expect this extraordinary own goal by Trump immigration czar Tom Homan to show up in a court filing soon. “No US citizen child was deported. Deported means ordered by an immigration judge.” This would appear to be a confession that Abrego Garcia was trafficked abroad, rather than deported.
