Trump's new building will give Tennessee Republicans a convenient place to pay tribute.

How many military personnel involved in illegal boat murders are officially conscientiously objecting to these extrajudicial killings? If it’s not yet a thing, it will be. And it will be covered up by the warmonger Hegseth. COs are more often than not targets of abuse.

What a travesty. Stop the murders. Board the boats and identify the cargo. THAT is the American way… or was…

We have become pirates on the high seas.

Another way the Trump administration seems to be taking cues from Orwell's 1984. Winston Smith's first entry in his diary (starting on page 8 of my cheap paperback edition of the book):

"April 4th, 1984. Last night to the flicks. All war films. One very good one of a ship full of refugees ..."

Trump's consolidation of authoritarian power is inseparable from the economic carnage he's unleashed. Tariffs, DOGE bloodbath, federal worker firings, killing of NY-NJ tunnel etc are *abuses of power* that *also* hurt the economy. Dems can say both these things. 4/
