Has anybody bothered to calculate how much debt Trump has and how much he stands to gain with a rate cut that might f*ck over the economy?

This Wall Street Journal piece is adorable in thinking how it could affect other people would affect Trump.

Ask: Who benefits?
Answer: Trump?
That's why.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

My god.
Nobel Peace Prize Winner María Corina Machado’s escape from Venezuela was particularly risky because her team had to inform the US military that she was escaping so they wouldn’t mistake her boat for an alleged narco boat and bomb it.

this would basically nullify limits on individual candidate contributions too since The Rich could use parties as middlemen to move $$$ to their preferred bribe recipient

I'd like to see the next Dem candidate for president (and the entire party) run on a platform of immediately recognizing the ICC and supporting its prosecutions of all who violate international law including heads of state promoting murder, piracy, etc. Hold them accountable.

If you are afraid the ICC will try you for war crimes, do you
1. Stop committing war crimes, or
2. Try to destroy the ICC and international rule of law?

Obviously 2. Sorry I asked. I don’t know what got into me.

Bass: We had an important victory today from the courts. The court determined what we knew all along: we do not need National Guard troops in our city. We didn’t need them in June, and we certainly don’t need them in December. I’m glad a decision was made saying the president is out of line

These children are going to be psychologically traumatized for life. The humane thing to do would be to let them wait at home for a court time like they were probably doing. Have some sort of normalcy. This administration is beyond cruel.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!
