But drugs are such a threat to national security that the US must attack Venezuela to force regime change? Criminal and hypocritical.

Difficult to understand why any American still supports Trump. Elected Republicans should have checked Trump’s authoritarian overreach before now. Their failure to do so means they own democracy’s decay. Vote them out before we entirely loss fair elections.

This is a populist knee jerk that amounts to racism and collective punishment.
Second, why aren’t Trump and the Republicans this swift and decisive taking action after any school shooting?

I am ashamed of the Administration that has turned the US into an aggressor nation. Equally ashamed of the cruelty and criminality of the Administration policies and actions domestically.
I am a 28 year Navy veteran.

I am retired from Navy intelligence. Seeing this type of partisanship under the banner of an intelligence agency is not normal and is deeply disturbing.

We must peacefully resist Trump’s authoritarian administration. We must also condemn today’s violence.

Peaceful resistance against Trump’s authoritarian administration must be encouraged. Today’s violence must be condemned.

This reminds me of "Sarajevo roses." During the Bosnian war, snipers on hillsides surrounding Sarajevo terrorized civilians on the streets below. Red roses were painted where people were killed. Just a matter of degree different than ICE kidnappings and at best quasi-judicial deportations.

The cost of populist nationalism?

With Mattis then Esper as SECDEF during his first term, Trump learned he did not want competent professionals in the job. Trump wants stooges who are loyal to him ahead of the Constitution.
