Today the White House is suffering an assault the likes of which it hasn't seen since it was burned by British troops of King George III on August 24, 1814. It is a complete travesty from one king to another king. Shame on those carrying out this destruction. wapo.st/4hqBNiU

My opinion that this was the wrong move is that the idea that Iran would use the bomb while knowing it would be annihilated is based on the idea of an irrational leadership and a nuclear chain of command and control that would agree to this national suicide. I don't see it.

NEWS: DOJ is now formally refusing to acknowledge the existence of transgender people in its filings — to the extent of misrepresenting other parties' filings.
This goes further even than DOJ did last week in referring to people as "trans-identifying individuals" in a Supreme Court filing.
