Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

The Nuremberg trials established:
1 Obeying orders does not absolve individuals of their responsibility for war crimes
2 Moral agency doesn’t disappear under a military hierarchy
3 Coercion must be extreme to excuse actions

An illegal order is no order

Obedience is not an excuse for atrocity

FLASHBACK: “You spend all this time working with Saudi Arabia, you leave office—6 months later you get $2 BILLION.”

Trump’s son-in-law Kushner was asked about his corrupt SA deal, and to his annoyance, Khashoggi’s death. Feels relevant.

Today Trump replied "Quiet Piggy" when Catherine Lucey, Bloomberg’s White House correspondent, asked a question about the Epstein files.

This is ABUSE.

It is misogyny.

It is an attack on the press.

It is vile and unacceptable.

I am outraged.
You should be too.

The #ICELawlessness is so depraved.

This is 1 case.

How many degenerates do you think are in the ICE forces?

They brutalize men, women & children. They are abusers who attack people day & night with no training, no ethics & no oversight. They all think they are above the law.

ICE should be cracking down on the cartels, not our communities.

ICE should be deporting gang members, not small business owners.

ICE should be hunting down human traffickers, not moms and babies.
