Trump will lose this court battle. The charges are baseless and this will become clear. Letitia James is much smarter than the president and his sycophants. Trump is bound to lose!

Now they’re indicting Letitia James…the woman who finally held Trump’s feet to the fire. You can smell the revenge all the way from Mar-a-Lago. This isn’t justice…it’s payback wrapped in paperwork. And every American with a brain knows it.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.

The US is no longer a operating according to those liberal principles. It has deteriorated into an authoritarian state, under the felon in the White House.

This is a crime against humanity. Trump’s administration is completely lawless. I hope Grenada does not give in to US pressure to utilize the isle of spice for the US President’s nefarious purpose (I.e., to stage regime change in Venezuela). The Caribbean Sea ought to remain a zone of peace.

Civil War would be a tragedy but I fear we must prepare. The divisions between MAGA culture and traditional constitutional liberalism are deep and profound. MAGA rejects pluralism, equality of opportunity and the social safety net in favor of right wing religious moral condemnation of minorities

Is Canada complicit in Trump’s illegal war in Venezuela?
