And will those left with any power wake up to this fact before he finishes destroying our civic infrastructure? How are Trump's actions NOT a new civil war? He's the Confederacy incarnate.
And I think that’s the whole point - to weaken U.S. diplomacy. Trump’s entire presidency seems to be about weakening America. And he’s doing a great job of it. That’s why Putin & the world’s other dictators are smiling.
The Trump administration has ordered nearly 30 career U.S. ambassadors to leave their posts by mid-January — an unprecedented mass recall with no stated reason.

This is rough, but we must bear witness! We must speak up, call Congress & tell others.

Great piece. I find it helpful to keep in mind that:
1 billion dollars = $999,999,999.00 + $1.00
Who on Earth really needs that kind of money? The war to have the biggest yachts & largest private residential compounds etc are not helping people or the planet.
