A take I can agree with 👇🏼
Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we all ALREADY KNOW that Trump is in the Epstein files? 🤔

Dept Q just disappeared from Netflix without a trace - on its 1st day out. According to
Reddit, this happened worldwide. Is this a glitch? A publicity stunt (bc it's a show about disappeared people)?
Regardless, please put it back!!! @netflix.com

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

I really liked Four Seasons on Netflix. Excellent writing. That Napoleon book was like Chekhov's rifle - just hanging there since episode 1 to fire in episode 8. 🔥

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption.
I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents.
1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

8/ This is a watershed moment, as Trump thumbs his nose at a Supreme Court ruling, gaslighting the public by pretending his won 9-0 when he lost 9-0.
If we normalize this, there's no end. He can lock up or remove anyone. We will no longer exist in a democracy.

I'm with those who think Kilmar Abego Garcia is dead. Will people take to the streets in protest? And if they do, will T use this to impose martial law? And if he does, does this mean no more elections? 🤔😶

My biggest fear is that as the economy tanks, unrest will increase, and Tr*mp will use that to declare a state of emergency and to cancel elections. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it's part of the plan.

Love is definitely blind. I know because I just watched Taylor say that Daniel is a 10 with a completely straight face. I mean, he's nice looking, but come on. I don't even know if Theo James is a 10.

I keep hearing that congressional Republicans have abandoned any previously held principles to fall in line with Trump bc they're afraid of losing their government jobs. But... don't they know that they can be more efficient and productive in the private sector? 🤔😶

Here's what I want to know. Given the stuff Trump has gotten away with completely unscathed (porn star scandal, extortion, inciting an insurrection, etc., etc., etc.), what can Putin have on him that's SO BAD that he thinks his MAGA cult won't forgive him? Is it murder? Child rape? WHAT IS IT?
