And to be quoted alongside Congressman Tom Massie, especially as this sounds like some of my recent media hits.
![“We can debate the finer points of whether they're allowed to do a second strike... but the reality is, the first strike was illegal, and all of the other strikes were illegal, and you're saying it's terrorism that authorizes them to do this, but that's quite a stretch,” Massie told TAC Wednesday. “There’s not even an AUMF [authorization for the use of military force] like when they typically talk about the Global War on Terror. Congress hasn’t even declared a Global War on Narco Terrorism, yet, right? That doesn’t exist.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oqexhdqbizq24v6ikjhhig2h/bafkreihp4dvj72gyu6slmdyh4vlv6vredqsxeceaxk3k6pgrrd4bpvcos4@jpeg)

I will say it again; the Democrats need openly create a list of civil servants called the Dirty Dozen that will be subject to impeachment in 2026, The Constitution provides that “… all civil Officers of the United States” are subject to removal from office upon impeachment.”

Trump’s gold bling in the WH reminded me of a clip I posted 5 years ago of Charlie Sheen in the UK telling a story of the time Trump gave him a wedding gift.

Trump has so transformed and degraded the machinery of American government that it isn't enough to just beat him or his successor. Someone has to rebuild the liberal democratic state.

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one.
Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant.
Many have speculated how he’d do it.
Now his gambit is clear.
DC was a test.
He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities.
This is not a drill.
Democracy is at defcon 1.
