Obviously there’s bigger news today, but it’s worth noting that the inflation numbers were quite bad this morning, especially for grocery prices and gasoline.

Are we sick enough of this fucking bullshit...yet? Or, do we need to see more trampling of the Constitution, and more innocent immigrants snatched off the Goddamn streets, or from their apartments/homes? Do we need to see another Goddamn active duty military member picked up and detained?

This was always the plan. Try anti-immigrant laws out in Alabama. Put in place enhanced requirements for voter ID. It’s why nothing under Trump has surprised people down here. I call it the Alabamization of America. Looking forward to reading this book!
My friend, David Pepper of Ohio, wrote a book called Laboratories of Autocracy . This is what he was talking about.

Our states have been run as authoritarian proving grounds for decades. What they’ve done to us, they plan to do to the entire country.

5 things Trump did this week:

1. Got mad that a reporter asked about Epstein

2. Was mocked for sharing a Superman Trump image

3. Had officials contemplating quitting

4. Went to his golf club after brief Texas flood photo-op

5. Kept the Epstein files cover-up going another week

Supporting Ukraine incDefeating Russia (and dealing a blow to China) is much much cheaper than maintaining a defense posture to eventually fight Russia.

We could then focus almost everything on China, after Russia falls

History does not repeat itself. But sometimes it rhymes.

(2,2) By the way, since Trump keeps bringing up the Russia investigation, let's not forget when he lied the day I buried Jaime in February 2018 and blamed the Parkland shooting on the Russia investigation. He is a liar and a thug.

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match.

Why? This report explains _exactly_ why:
The Birth of the Trump Doctrine Lies in the 1987 Recruitment of Donald Trump By the KGB During His Trip to Moscow That Year
How Trump responded to his recruitment remains unclear. What is clear, however, is that it shaped his entrance into politics and his foreign policy in a way the world now ignores at its peril.
