They lie because they so desperately need a win in the eyes of the world. No one in their right mind thought for even one moment that the US would step in.

Trump will have an "intimate private dinner" at his golf resort with top buyers of his crypto memecoin.
He and his inner circle stand to profit from this token and a proposed national crypto reserve — while taxpayers could be left holding the bag.
Corruption in plain sight.

Right now, we have an authoritarian president.
He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts.
Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

What does it say about a regime that wants a population that is less educated, less informed, less free to say what they think, more riven by fear and insecurity? It tells me it’s a regime that cannot count on the peoples’ trust and will not last.

Ignoring a court order on the grounds that “ah-ah-ah, the law doesn’t apply once you get to international waters!!” is absolutely sanctionable. 8th grade-ass lawyering. Completely unserious.

Over the last few weeks, we have seen displays of unfettered cruelty.
Cruelty isn’t power. It’s a primal display of weakness and ignorance.
Kindness and empathy are intelligence. We must never forget that.
