Trump is about to take the US to war because a) he likes war b) he sucks at everything else and c) to defend the sacred principle that brown people who flood America with cocaine are good if they kiss Trump’s ass but we’ll pretend those who don’t pucker up are drug dealers to commit mass murder.

Might be a shorter list to name all the kinds of law they aren't breaking. I bet somebody could figure out a tax law angle on it. But "this is specifically something we executed literal Nazis for doing and it is absolutely prohibited under all circumstances" understandably has a bit more purchase.

Very consistent in defense of rapists — and little else #ShameMustChangeSides
Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates.
“I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

The Trump administration effectively says that no one should ever work with Americans during wartime; that our promises mean nothing, our word is dust, and we will throw our allies under the bus the moment we want.

Putin's dictatorship has institutionalized the oppression of women not only by decriminalizing domestic violence, but by creating schools to brainwash women into accepting unpaid domestic servitude as their "natural" lot in life. Hence the denigration of paid work.
