1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat.

Germany used to lead the world in science. The language of science was German—until the Nazis came to power and chased out, imprisoned, or killed all the non-Nazi scientists. Fascists break good things, and it is happening here. (2/2)

📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day.
