President Donald Trump said his administration is probing whether the billionaire philanthropist George Soros "and other radical left lunatics" helped to fund the "No Kings" protests on Saturday.

To what end? What does he hope to accomplish? Another diversion?

Maybe it's just me but if someone changed their "Department of Defense" to the "Department of War" I don't really think they should ever be considered for a Nobel Peace Prize because they really aren't into the idea of peace.

I'm not a conservative commentator. Billionaires won't pay me $150m. No major network is making me the editor in chief.

But I am a lawyer who fights for democracy. I did build Democracy Docket from scratch. And, for $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0
