This presidential administration and its backing political party are enemies of the state and we've got maybe another two or three years before society collectively forgets how this country used to run and the global role it used to play.

This excuse for invasion is not new.
In 1939, both Hitler and Stalin justified invading Poland by claiming it was “threatened” and that ethnic Germans and Russians needed protection
In 2022, Putin used the same logic — blaming NATO and the West while claiming to defend Russian speakers in Ukraine👇

Congrats again to Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson on their book sales
They’re clearly plugging this dude into an IV regularly and, if this were Biden, there would be demands for weekly hour long press conferences from his doctors on his health. But that’s not how authoritarianism works so stop asking questions already.
Trump last night had the complexion of a Thanksgiving turkey that was left in the oven too long and bandages were again visible on the back of his right hand

During Jan. 2025 Senate confirmation hearing, Pete Hegseth stumbled while listing all seven of his children's names. He quickly recovered, joking, "Sorry, it's a lot of them.”
Hegseth has 11 children between three wives.
Might have been easier to remember names, if named after types of booze.

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.
