It’s very discouraging to watch our country slowly re-learn the lessons that led to the end of segregation, among them that people who think they’re racially superior are nearly universally incompetent fools unable to face up to their own deficiencies and putting them in charge is suicide

Tanden: This administration is demonstrating incredible weakness against the Russians, who are 1/14 of our economy. We are a much stronger country. And Donald Trump waited for an hour today for Putin.

So does that mean I can do anything in international waters because I am not subject to any jurisdiction?? Interesting.
A federal court’s jurisdiction does *not* stop at the water’s edge. The question is whether the *defendants* are subject to the court order, not *where* the conduct being challenged takes place.
Were it otherwise, the government could act lawlessly overseas and courts would be powerless to stop it.

Because the president is a psychopath, because the vice president has the spine of a jellyfish, because the people of this nation are terrorized, the state of the union is strongly fucked up.

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

What a coincidence that:
1. Trump announces the creation of a Sovereign Wealth Fund.
2. He wants 50% of Ukraine’s minerals.
3. Tried to have Z transfer it into a ‘Reconstruction Develop Fund’.
4. Head of Russian Sovereign Wealth Fund is part of the delegation meeting with Rubio in Saudi Arabia.
