with the exception of a ridiculous assertion about north korea (that it took pressure to get kim jong un to the negotiating table when he’s been desperate to get any world leader to treat him like a head of state) this is a really good review of 45’s foreign policy, such as it is, and the enormous resistance that has created across the globe.–

Why isn’t that baby blimp tethered outside the WH every day?
Apparently Trump really pissed off Bezos because the Kindle and Audible versions are free.
You know, this is something that really impressed me about the Parkland students. One of the first things they did with their activism is reach out to Madison Avenue and made allies with them. Heck, even today Ingraham is still having an extremely rough time keeping advertisers.
Who knew that a housecat would become a resistance icon hahaha
“I couldn’t possibly say, sir” wins the day for me.
And Donny doesn’t know how to take criticism. THIS is how he gets impeached. When he goes after an individual Republican, they feel threatened and (usually) back down. When he goes after all of them, his unfamiliarity with Article 1, Section 3 starts to show.
Because this is one thing that could really hurt their 'murican constituency and jeopardize re-election for many. Re-election trumps trump at all cost.
Republicans impeaching trump for no other reason than to just keep their cushy jobs would be par for course. Not jobs, not the economy, not war, not treason but, their own worthless over privileged hides.
But, not really.
It’s just a Senate note to trump that some of his sycophants are ever so slightly uncomfortable with arming murderers. You know, optics.
If they really wanted to block the sales they could.
Follow the money.

I personally think the money is the best place to get him. All this Russia stuff, the corruption and emoluments is all fuzzy legally because “its not illegal if the president does it”. But yeah if they get down to his money laundering and who knows maybe Russian or American mob ties or something, you’ve really got him.
It’s going much harder to find, and people, see Russian oligarchs and other crime families, will probably kill to keep things just the way they are.
Or maybe they are all stupid as trump…
