Trump's Board of Peace combines the scaminess of Trump University, the membership rules of Mar-a-Lago, and the spirit of Trump’s newfound interest in imperialism. It is also one of the greatest bait-and-switches in diplomatic history. www.telos.news/p/the-humili...

@judgeluttig.bsky.social argues that *every* significant initiative of Trump’s first 100 days lacks legal authority. He concludes: "It would be impossible to say, after Donald Trump's first 100 days in office, that America has a government of laws, not of men." youtube.com/clip/UgkxFfJ...
