If Collin Murray-Boyles can add even a semi-consistent jumper, he's going to be an All-Star eventually. Might get there anyway. Does everything else really well. He was such a good get for Toronto in the draft.

we need the illegal ballroom to strong arm private businesses into doing corrupt and unprofitable deals so we can justify the illegal seizure of another country’s national resources
REPORTER: The Capital Planning Commission is concerned the 89,000 square foot ballroom is going to dwarf the rest of the rest of the WH. Do you worry about that?

TRUMP: No no. People love the ballroom. We need it. If we would've had the ballroom today, we could've had all the oil companies there.

Too many Americans treat "we're the good guys" like it's some intrinsic quality, instead of something we have to live up to.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

The smallest man in the largest office
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Unhinged. Incompetent. Unfit. Unstable.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:

-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

"If we hadn’t already, we’ve unquestionably joined the league of ordinary nations—a league in which we’re acting as little more than a bully, and in circumstances in which no obvious principle of self-defense, human rights, or even humantarianism writ large justifies our bellicosity."

200. Five Questions About the Maduro Arrest Operation
Friday night's U.S. military operation in Venezuela was a textbook violation of international law. It's also entirely unauthorized by U.S. law, which ought to (but probably won't) matter.

The “it’s too inconvenient to follow the Constitution” clause to the Constitution.
RUBIO: "It's just not the kind of mission that you can pre-notify because it endangers the mission."

TRUMP: "If I can add one thing to that. Congress has a tendency to leak. This would not be good."

Donald Trump’s unconstitutional military action in Venezuela is putting our troops in harm's way with no long-term strategy.

The American people deserve a President focused on making their lives more affordable.

Trump’s press conference is appalling. He has announced that the United States is now running Venezuela and he is “not afraid of ‘boots on the ground’.”

It is, however, also a corrective against the narrative that Trump has lost his mental acuity. This is the same Trump as we have seen for years.

I instinctively want to think "blood for oil" is just a conspiracy theory, but he's saying it right out loud. Practically screaming it.

A college sophomore at an Occupy rally could not have generated such a grotesque outsized caricature of US imperialism
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

This feels like a culmination of several deep pathologies: congressional passivity, executive aggrandizement, national security exceptionalism, politics as theater, war as theater.

So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation.

This is madness.

Kidnapping the leader of a foreign state without any declaration of war and announcing it via social media is full-on rogue state stuff. From the world’s number one superpower.
