At some point, and probably soon, Trump is going to try and invade another country.

He’ll find a pretext.

The question is, will Congress ever act to stop him? What will it take?

The heads of foreign governments should be summoning US ambassadors for “discussions” in their own countries, and recalling their own ambassadors in the US for consultations.

We, the people, expect Articles of Impeachment to be drafted and filed first thing on Monday morning.

“Paging Mr Bremer, Mr. Paul Bremer. Final boarding call for flight 001 for Caracas…”

Once again we're being exhorted to contact our members of Congress to express our outrage, rein Trump in, or impeach him.

I've done that many times, on many issues.

One of my senators is "concerned," the other has minimal influence.

One rep is a backbencher, the other is a lame duck.

What now?

Illegal.
Immoral.
Indefensible.

And typical.

Any photos of the Trump family sitting in front of the fireplace, enjoying each other's company?

Or at the table, or opening presents, or with grandchildren or kids bouncing on their elders' knees?

Any messages, "at this time of year, we're grateful for family ...?"

Anything remotely human?

I'm gonna have to tweak my algorithm (*pretends he knows what that means*) because I'm getting almost nothing about Bondi Beach or Brown University.

Lotsa cats, lotsa music, lotsa "TRUMP IN BIG TROUBLE" stuff.

Really? I'm going to start clicking on folks rather than waiting.

I guess I'm naive.

We may or may not be “the greatest nation on the planet.”

We may or not be “a beacon of freedom.”

We may or may not be “the shining city in a hill.”

But it’s really weird to have a president who obviously thinks most of us suck and couldn’t care less.

Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost because of the termination of #USAID. People. Have. Died.

I’ll never forgive those who enabled it and took the lives and futures away from some of the poorest people on the planet.

And now we know why.

It’s all part of a larger white supremacy agenda.

I’ve been nominated for the FIFA prize for literature, oh wait, I just found out I won. Imaginary prizes are it turns out, very easy to win.

Methinks he doth protest too much.
This guy complaining about people being in "air-conditioned offices."

Where were you, Pete, when you were watching your murder-strike livestream?
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?

HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

There are no heroes here.
Nancy Mace’s campaign consultant resigns, says she had been disloyal to Trump and has teamed up with Rand Paul, and he urges Trump not to endorse her for SC governor.
