It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:
• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).
• Sex criminals.
• War criminals.

Or the laws of armed conflict. Or the Geneva conventions. You cannot kill people who have been rendered hors de combat in a military action.
Decent answer, but this is why CNN needs experts on the law of the sea on, instead of the usual political commentators. They could easily explain why this violates maritime rules.
Stephen Miller’s Wife @katiemiller : “Can you cite the statute that makes the boat bombings illegal?”

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to buy, own, and sell individual stocks. Period. Let's make Congressional stock trading illegal.

Tariffs off bananas. Tariffs off coffee. And suddenly the White House wants credit for lowering the cost of living. That’s like unplugging the treadmill you pushed us onto and declaring yourself a fitness guru.

“There’s no question at all that, as of today, Donald Trump has all the power he would ever need to run for a third term and be seated as the next president, whether or not he actually won that election.”
Wow. That is a scary scary statement.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.
Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

A 16-year-old minor from Houston, Texas, who is a U.S. Citizen was beaten, tackled, and choked by ICE as he was heading for school. They used racial slurs against him and his father. The officers did not identify themselves or show any badge.
