NEWS: Trump prepares crackdown on leftist networks under guise of “domestic terrorism”
FBI is compiling lists of people to investigate based on “anti-American,” “anti-Christian,” “gender,” & “immigration” views.
In other words, the First Amendment is being incinerated.

Donald Trump doesn’t want military personnel to know their rights.
Too bad.
We’re getting them lawyers anyway — especially folks worried they’ve received a “manifestly illegal order.”

Mocking the dead is who Trump is.
His attacks on John McCain after the veteran’s death pushed me to speak out from within his administration.
Last night’s taunting of Rob Reiner’s murder makes me even more determined to defy Trump.
He is a sick creep.

Despite differing backgrounds, I found a lot of my colleagues from the first Trump administration ended up with roughly the same view of the president:
He’s a terrible person. A wrinkly-suit slop tart, incapable of empathy or rational thought.
His speech last night showed it.

"Under any president, of any political party, these series of shifting narratives would scream coverup, law-breaking, and corruption. While I can’t tell you for sure who is guilty of what, I can tell you there’s no way they’ll be able to run away from it now."
The boat-strike lies are piling up. We're at 25, and counting.
The Trump administration's story about the boat strikes keeps shifting dramatically, exposing the seriousness of the coverup underway.

Taylor: "I would say to those prosecutors at the DOJ, you guys need to stop. You need to take a break. Because every time you try to bring one of these revenge prosecutions back and it's not accepted, you are creating a paper trail that you might be doing this for illegitimate purposes."

Terrorist were coming to the U.S.
We killed ‘em.
OK, boat wasn’t coming here.
There was no 2nd strike.
OK, there was. But we didn’t know.
Didn’t see or order it.

Just wanted to sink the boat.
JK. We meant to kill ‘em.

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.

I spent two years in the Trump administration. During that time, I saw how the president handled national security decisions. One of my biggest takeaways was this:
He fantasized regularly about maiming & killing unarmed civilians. Actually.

Bookmark this for the investigations to come: the Trump team’s boat bombings trace back to at least 2018. That’s when White House officials asked me & others about whether they could do something like this.
We said it was illegal then. Now they’ve done it anyway.

U.S. Senator Mark Kelly is being investigated for the “crime” of telling people not to commit crimes.
We’ve fallen far.

Some of the people who I knew were worried about Trump’s illegal orders in the first term:
The VP, chief of staff, national security advisor, comms director, secretary of state, defense secretary, DHS secretary, attorney general, national security advisor.
