There are very few situations in which launching missiles into a sovereign country *isn’t* an act of war.
People will downplay this because Nigeria doesn’t have the ability to directly respond to us, but that doesn’t make it any less illegal

It should be a massive scandal. It’s also wildly illegal, but as we’ve seen, Trump’s DOJ exists entirely to protect him - not to actually uphold the law.

This should be a huge scandal, right? If the media is going to lose it's collective shit over Hunter Biden's pardon, I would think that Trump selling pardons to rich convicted felons for $6 million a pop should register as more than a blip (if mentioned at all) in the news.

Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:
Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

The 25th isn’t happening with this Cabinet, and Trump has more chance of becoming the Queen of England than Vance does at being impeached IF the 25th were to happen.

Not well - and Putin is taking full advantage of it by bombing the hell out of population centers… again.
There are talks of Europe stepping up their contributions and perhaps even offering security guarantees, but it’s still early.

I’m really not sure, but someone needs to study whatever the fuck stage of “grief” this is. It’s unlikely anything I’ve ever seen.
