Absolutely. And no president in US history ever did, or had to do, so much self-promoting; false or otherwise. What does that alone tell you about DJT?

Agree re: impotent MAGA run senate, but not sure it’s merely a troll if China truly is taking new trade route through Arctic & North Atlantic waters.
Like Venezuela, DJT executes action hung on quasi-legitimate premise, but subsequent actions show real intent!
Complicit MAGA USCong is true prob!

Agree: Democratic leaders notify their congressional leaders. Dictators / Tyrants notify their oligarch cronies; people with no security clearances to boot!

Not true! This statement was proven false years ago. At the time, Trump didn’t even know who Ben Laden was. Graham just continues to “service” Trump!

Seems to me that there is a medical / mental condition defined by someone who gets increasingly unsettled (to put it mildly) when the sun goes down; has difficulty coping with the dark and being alone as the rest of the world goes to sleep…

Silly me. I’m still confused how this reconciles to Trump’s December pardoning of former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, a convicted narco-terrorist & drug trafficker.

Great Christmas action. DJT/MAGA’s cut US aid throughout the world. Now unilaterally decides to start a holy war?!
For months (or longer) Nigeria situation has been convoluted. Now DJT decides that ‘Christians being harmed’ is a basis for bombing another nation!? What’s the national interest/threat?

Re cancellation of the 60 Minutes piece: Another step in Trump’s/MAGA’s control over the press.
For a while now I’ve no longer considered CBS a news agency. This further underscores why!
The sane washing was bad enough. They are now on the verge of becoming part of the “State Propaganda Machine”.
