What is perhaps the gravest transgression ever committed by a US president has been airbrushed out of the picture and the perp allowed (by a majority of voters) to return to the scene of the crime.
This is one of the most worrisome turns in American history.

The Trump administration sent out letters tonight to 5 blue states, freezing about $10 billion in funding for child care and social services programs pending a "thorough review," citing concerns over "systemic fraud."
5 Democratic-run states are told that their child care funds have been frozen
The suspension of the funds could hurt low-income families in those states, depending on how long it lasts, advocates say.

Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know.
The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

The monopolies of the Gilded Age led Congress to establish the FTC as an independent agency.
Its independence is meant to insulate it from political pressure so it can check corporate power and protect the American people.
Trump wanting to upend this is very telling.

They just want to kill people. Dress rehearsals. Like the attack on immigrants, deportations etc. We can’t possibly be blind to what is going on here? There is nothing good or positive that Trump & his dribblers are doing. Everything is bad, evil. Don’t think people have come to terms with that.

The distance between any port in Venezuela and the closest mainland US port is between 1,500-2,000 nautical miles. The fishing boats being blown up could never reach the US without refueling in the middle of the ocean. We’re not at war. This is nothing but premeditated cold blooded murder.
