So long as Trumpworld treats the law as a puzzle to solve or an obstacle to overcome instead of a process to follow, they will be constrained even more tightly by it—at least, unless the Supreme Court bails them out once again. trib.al/IF4Ip1e

National security Democrats launched a preemptive strike on Trump's misuse of the military. Weeks later it's paying off in ways even they didn't predict. Or maybe they did.

Sadism is a subset of disruption, which is key to whitenationalist authoritarianism. They, minions of the craven plutocratic darkmoney bundlers, require the public to believe the depth of their evil bottomless in order to reinforce a sense of helplessness. It isn't real. It is fraudulent, all of it.
