I thought the chancellor was finally going to make some strategic change and reform - but no, back to what we’ve had so far / tinkering

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Trump - a bit bored - reads a social media post devoid of evidence or facts - finds an angle: “Christian” (although I doubt trump could say what meant) and then threatens to use the military might of the US against a sovereign nation. (And not for the first time). He’s deranged and dangerous.
At some point we might have to consider the fact that he might be mentally unstable.

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
