Dear President Trump: I've been clearing out my basement and came across my prize for winning Mrs. Sommers's 5th-grade spelling bee. Would you like to have it? I'd be happy to give it to you as a recognition of your unique relationship with the English language.

I don't know more than two people in Minnesota, and I probably get about two people reading my posts. But it's still worth spreading the word that ICE is going door to door in Minneapolis today and letting people know their rights.

Anyone know where I can book a ticket on the Reverse Mayflower? I need to escape a mad king who tramples basic human rights, taxes without representation, has abolished freedom of religion, and is imposing colonial rule on countries whose resources he wants to plunder.

Woke up, read some Democrats’ statements that begin “Maduro is a brutal tyrant blah blah blah”, going back to bed. So sick of this Dem fetish for trying to thread the needle. IT’S FUCKING ILLEGAL. SAY IT, YOU USELESS FUCKS.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

How have so many of us been up for hours trying to process our demented President's unauthorized violation of another nation's sovereignty and of international law, but Congress still seems to be snug in their beds? Has there been a single statement from any of them, individually or collectively?

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

Absolutely correct
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
