Trump is now the most dangerous person to this country. A fascist to the core.

"I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? Why did we sink them?' He said, 'it's more fun to sink them.'"

Oh, no biggie. Just the president of the United States out there boasting about the commission of war crimes, to the uproarious laughter of his Nazi cohort.

Everytime you use AI you help fund the people you are trying to dis.
Stop it, it's not a good look and helps no one except the people who seek to destroy you.

Russia has provided Iran with information that can help Tehran strike US military, AP sources say Russia has provided Iran with information that could help Tehran strike American warships, aircraft and other assets in the region.

Russia has provided Iran with intelligence on U.S. personnel and military targets and Trump responded by easing sanctions on Russia so they can sell all the oil they want and refill their financial coffers. (Maddow)

A study of social media content 18-24-year olds see in #Finland, #France and #Romania shows that algorithms overwhelmingly feed them right-wing political content - whether or not the users are interested.

Three country average for right wing content was 58% - in Finland, 67%!

Such a person should never have been elected to this office, not the first time, but absolutely definitely not a second time.

In a sane environment this president would either be taken care of at home by his family, or he would spend his days in an assisted living facility.

A Trump Order Protected a Weedkiller. And Also a Weapon of War.

Trump signed an EO benefitting Bayer, the makers of cancer-linked weedkiller Roundup and deadly munitions component white phosphorus.

It came after Bayer hired top Trumpworld lobbyist Brian Ballard and spent over $9M last year on federal lobbying.

"Drain the swamp."

President Trump's Pardons: An Embarrassment of Riches At least the specter of corruption in previous presidential administrations (Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich or Biden’s pardon of his son) appeared to be an exception to the rule. Today, however, the evidence is piling up that, for this president, corruption is the rule, not the exception.

Trump’s second-term pardons are historic in their enormityβ€”billions in fines erased, allies protected, donors rewarded, DOJ undermined, and election norms threatened. Corruption looks less like an exception and more like the rule, says Dan Greenberg.
