Imagine going to 1974 and telling folks, "You think Watergate is bad; imagine having Watergate every day for 8yrs. But not just burglarizing and recording political enemies—which we'll have—but also way worse things that will destabilize the American way of life, as well as global liberal democracy"

Trump's arrest of Don Lemon shows that his "pivot" is an utter farce. As legal experts tell me, this looks appallingly corrupt. Indeed, it's likely this is all about sending a message that Trump isn't deescalating in the slightest.

Who remembers Greenland? Or even Maduro being plucked out of his country by US forces? They want to exhaust people, and do whatever they want. Unitary Executive.
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: Trump is suing the federal government, which he heads, for $10 billion—billion with a "b"—so his personal lawyers are going to square off against a bunch of government lawyers, some of whom probably also used to be his personal lawyers.
