The extreme and psychotic overreaction by Trump and Stephen Miller to Democratic military vets in the Senate and House urging service members to remember that their oath is to the Constitution and not a man tells us a lot about the Trump admin’s plans for the military.

Democrats made a video urging members of the military to not follow illegal orders. And Trump demands these Democrats be arrested. 3 thoughts: Trump is the world’s biggest crybaby, Trump does not believe in free speech, Trump is planning on issuing illegal orders to the military.

New in PN: The lame duck dictatorship

"It’s increasingly clear that Trump & his captive political party are in the midst of a political reversal. Every major 'policy' of theirs is unpopular & the regime’s leader is a lame duck dictator who's poised to draw his party deeper into a political abyss."
The lame duck dictatorship
Trump is fighting his "war within" on multiple fronts and losing them all.

As I have noted before, I have become less interested in candidate who parrot party line ideas and talking points. I am more interested HOW candidates can close the gap, adapt parties for the future, and carry us all forward!

I still have hope!
