The President personally designing battleships because he wants them to look badass is not doing much to challenge the "everyone is 12 now" theory of American governance.

Santa's been! He's had the sherry and mince pies! And he's eaten the pizza from the fridge, drunk a bottle of my Scotch and stolen my trousers. And I hope he'll find time to apologise to my neighbours for parking my car on their lawn as I'm too hungover for some reason.

Donald Trump defaulted on a $330 million loan for his Chicago skyscraper. And it wasn't the only time he defaulted on a loan or failed to pay a bill.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.

Toretsk. Another ghost town in Donbas.
Once a living city.
Now — ruins.
The war has brought the most terrible destruction of European cities since World War II.
Not as history, but as a present reality.
Toretsk no longer exists.

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas.
Remember: these are people who entered the country legally.
Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.
