TRUMP, AN AMERICAN ABERRATION
The mercurial former US President Trump is a convicted felon, an insurrectionist, an admirer of foreign dictators, a racist, a misogynist, and a dangerous American aberration. His return to power would betrayal of Washington's legacy in American history again.

“Nuremberg”, a new film directed by James Vanderbilt, IS A TIMELY REMINDER OF THE STAKES OF HOLDING VILLAINY TO ACCOUNT. The accused had to be given a fair trial. Though the regime’s crimes were clear, the prosecutors had to establish certain proof of their personal guilt. (Econ)

I’m not politically educated, but I follow it, and in simple terms, when you give into the demands of a toddler’s tantrum; you’re just teaching him that every time he wants something he needs to have a tantrum, usually each new tantrum is worse than the preceding one!

Trump's campaign of repression is aggressively trying to silence dissent. However, the more Trump intensifies his attacks, the more he faces organized opposition and a public opinion that is increasingly dissatisfied with his administration. (Atl.)

In September, Trump issued an executive order declaring antifa to be a domestic terrorist organization, but this designation has no legal meaning. The fact that the admin has not yet done so speaks to the factual and legal shakiness of this argument. (Atl.)
