I have probably said this too many times already but Trump's chaotic mob don't want to take America back to the 1950s. They want to take it back to the 1850s.

Are you registered to vote? At your current address? And when is your next election?

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

He is also angry and lashing out. That is dangerous to some extent but his lack of control and staff pushing back means things are done in haste and without planning. Vought and Miller are a worry but Donald is more embarrassing spectacle.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

Trump exhibits all the operational security we could expect of a man who thinks that Hannibal Lecter is real, debates whether he would rather die by shark or boat battery induced electrocution, and thinks that we are going to forget his pal Jeffrey Epstein.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

The whole country, indeed the whole world, is being held in a downward spiral on so many fronts, because an immature, and cognitively challenged, man can't let go.

And America elected him fair and square.

I challenge the media to show pictures of Portland. Go to a store with glass. That's all you have to do

They can't do it because it would offend Deal Leader

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Want to hear about a party that isn’t too keen on democracy, deporting people who side with their opposition and stifling the opposition press to remain in power?

The Alien and Sedition Acts have a LOT to say.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | Jack Smith’s lawfare and James Comey’s arraignment on pathetically weak charges

Good people will be deterred from public service if they see a meaningful risk of winding up in jail afterward.
