"He failed us. He failed his country. He hoodwinked us," Gyárfás Oláh, a former Orbán enthusiast and ex-local mayor, told a BBC reporter after Orbán's defeat yesterday. The same will be said by a majority of MAGA after November's congressional elections. The collapse of the Trump era is at hand.

To conservatives who’ve objected when some of us have suggested Trump is a fascist, and who’ve complained when some us point out that much of real existing American conservatism has devolved into fascism, if you’re silent about Trump’s threat of genocide you’re proving the point you’ve objected to.

Any war crimes Trump orders/ commits as defined by international humanitarian law can be prosecuted under U.S. law, primarily through the War Crimes Act of 1996 (18 U.S.C. 2441). This congressional statute criminalizes grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions and other specified IHL violations.

European Union’s top diplomat spoke frankly when she said: “This is not Europe’s war.” Trump attempts to blackmail EU countries into defending the Straits of Hormuz have epically failed. This is Trump's egregious war of aggression. Illegal and reckless. "Epic Fury"? More like epic impotence.

The US "peace president" at the top of his game: The US, in close coordination with Israel, has plunged Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and the UAE into war. a major war, a war of aggression. That's 11 countries. 11 countries suddenly at war. Good grief.

Note: Under Hitler's dictatorship, both Germany's annexation of Austria (the Anschluss) in 1938 and its invasion of Poland in 1939 were directly carried out by his military order. Hitler's Germany’s Reichstag did not authorize either. By 1939, the Reichstag had been reduced to a rubber‑stamp body.

While Trump dawdles haplessly, strong-arms Zelensky, refuses to arm Ukraine freedom fighters on the front lines, and pretends to seek a meaningful peace, even as he sides with Russia to curry favor with Putin, an invaded country and its people suffer. Suffer. Truly, an historical American disgrace.

It's sad that Jesse Jackson has passed. He was a gifted leader, a notable speaker, and a civil rights icon born into a civil rights era that no longer exists. He stood for the dignity of all persons, no matter their race or economic status. He called for equal rights for all. He was a humanist.

About climate change, Epstein wrote, “Maybe climate change is a good way of dealing with overpopulation ... the earths [sic] forest fire. potentially a good thing for the species.” Trump should be asked if he subscribes to Epstein's theory now that the US climate "Endangerment finding" is no more.

Perhaps if ICE "officers" (is that the right word or are they technically goons?) wore no masks and could be readily identified by name, they would be less trigger happy. Better yet, let's END ICE and pass legislation to create pathways to citizenship. Something that should have been done ages ago.

We're long passed the intervention stage. Trump said this today: “I think God is very proud of the job I’ve done.” The Evangelicals or faux Christians have brainwashed him. He's full-on loopy now. The fake Christians have won and America has lost most everything it's earned over the past 80 years.

With Trump's unprovoked attack on Venezuela, he has extinguished 80 years of a rules-based international order, which was paid for in blood. Since 1900, roughly 650,000 U.S. service members have died in the name of building and defending this bygone order. Trump has dishonored their sacrifice.
