Sarah Hurwitz Profanes the Holocaust
Holocaust education has worked too well for the Obama speechwriter, since when she rationalizes Israel's genocide, "I sound obscene." Maybe sit with that, Sarah

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.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

not sure what the solution is other than taking that pardon power away
“The combination of Trump’s lawlessness and the pardon power complicate the psychology of deterrence in a perverse way. His power and poor character create an artificial penumbra of impunity covering everyone who chooses to believe he’ll protect them.”
The Caribbean murders and the Epstein coverup underscore the importance of deterring compliance with Trump’s illegal and corrupt orders. But his poor character and the existence of the pardon power complicate the psychology of deterrence. www.offmessage.net/p/maga-corru...
