Wrote a column for tomorrow morning about all the crazy shit Trump has done **this week** and hoo boy, let me tell you, it’s a lot. And any one of these things would’ve gotten any past president impeached. The GOP owns every bit of this stain on our history.

@sykescharlie.bsky.social critiques Trump's defense of MBS, dismissal of Kashoggi's murder as "things happen" and threat to revoke ABC News' license over questioning MBS. Plus the brazen corruption surrounding the Trumps and Saudis, and Epstein bill passage.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Trying to distract from the release of a notorious child sex trafficker's files because you're probably in them by threatening to kill your political opponents because they encouraged soldiers to uphold their oaths to the Constitution is quite the political PR move.

With every single insane post Trump makes, he becomes less powerful. Less believable. Less authoritarian.

He’s a weak man.

The administration doesn't give a shit whether killing 11 people at sea is a war crime.

And neither Democrats nor the media seem to give a shit about the military leaders carrying out Trump's unlawful orders.

The Trump admin has a new propaganda video claiming that DHS is "safeguarding our culture and shared values."

Micah Bock, the Trump appointee in the video, was accused in college of rubbing his erection against a sleeping woman and claiming she was "asking for it."

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.
