Q: Would you impeach Trump if he invades Greenland?
Mike Lawler: "Look, I'm not going to get into that. The bottom line here is the president is the commander in chief. He's well within his authorities when it comes to foreign policy."

I'm starting to think that, until he's finally gone, I should repost on a daily basis this 11,000+ word piece I published in @theatlantic.com about Donald Trump's serious psychiatric disorders to explain why, as a legal and constitutional matter, he was unfit for the presidency.
In the six-plus years since, every mental health professional I have come across has told me that my essay had it exactly right. I think every word of it has been proven right many times over.
Even today, he's still only going to get worse.

How is Trump pardoning a republican rep's meth dealer son not a major story at every media outlet right now? Given the pearl clutching over the pardon of Hunter Biden, has the GOP and corporate media suddenly started caring about addiction? Or is there just a double standard? (Rhetorical)

The current polling is only like 50/50 on eliminating ICE but every politician needs to ask themselves "Will Trump show more tact and thoughtfulness with how he uses ICE over the next year or will he double down on everything driving ICE's growing unpopularity?"
I think the answer is clear.

Gallego ("moderate" Dem) is going with "ICE needs to be totally torn down" (not "reform and retrain"). This is a pivot point for the country on immigration. You have been seeing this in the data for a while, and now officials are snapping to the public opinion www.gelliottmorris.com/p/ice-is-a-7...

It increasingly seems like many of these ICE goons are masking not because they're worried we'll learn who they are out of uniform and more because they're worried what other uniforms they've worn.
