Air Force veteran, former technology worker. Trying to stay optimistic in these disturbing times.
What the power behind the Trump throne is doing is like giving a toddler at a restaurant crayons to color on the placemat to keep him occupied while the parents eat their meal.

Some Republicans are preparing for Trump's departure from politics, but relevant to America is that Trump has already departed from governing. He's golfing, redesigning the Whitehouse, and getting phony awards from FIFA. So is Susie (Trump) Wiles, Stephen Miller, or someone else running things.

There is no statute of limitations for murder...

In other words, Trump wants to ban foreign tourists.

This looks more like reality orientation therapy. This kind of therapy is a treatment for individuals with dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, that helps them connect with their surroundings by providing continuous reminders about the date, time, and their current environment.

Let's put this in simple terms. The Trump administration and all military members involved conspired to and committed murder. As a veteran, I am ashamed of the service members, including Admiral Bradley. They should all be prosecuted for murder -- but I suspect they'll be pardoned.

Yes, it appears Hegseth is guilty of war crimes or murder, but regrettably, so is every service member in the kill chain, including Admiral Bradley. I expect Trump pardons are forthcoming.

Here's a picture of someone's hand that was bruised as the result of intravenous infusion of medication. It looks a lot like Trump's bruised hand. Now consider his recent MRI, his falling asleep in meetings, and his swollen ankles and it sure looks like some major medical issues are being treated.

These attacks on Venezuela have nothing to do with illegal drugs. Trump doesn’t give a rat’s ass about illegal drugs killing Americans as he pardons drug dealers and traffickers, and crypto billionaires who launder drug money. It’s about Venezuelan oil and who will profit from it.

If the Supreme Court gave him immunity for violations of U.S. law, their ruling doesn't apply to the International Criminal Court. The ICC's jurisdiction is war crimes. Killing civilians is a war crime.

I'm no lawyer, but a little online search indicates Hegseth and other civilian DoD leadership can be held responsible for illegal actions committed by uniformed service members. Title 18 U.S. Code § 2 - Principals. Anyone who commands the commission of an offense can be charged as a principal.

ICE/CBP left the Raleigh/Durham area for now, but the trauma they caused remains.

We shouldn't forget what this was really all about. They thought they were so clever by hiding the Trump tax increases by calling them tariffs. The public wouldn't directly see them. The deception was done to push the tax burden off of billionaires onto the backs of ordinary Americans.

The next administration needs to pressure corporate executives that donate to Trump's vanity ballroom to donate to a fund to tear it down and restore the east wing after Trump is out of office.

ICE actions today will justify the end of ICE as a federal law enforcement agency in the next administration. I expect many will say they were "just following orders." Defendants at the Nuremberg trials of 1945-1945 also claimed they were "just following orders." That excuse won't cut it.

After 28 years of military service, I didn't support and defend the constitution overseas, only to stop supporting and defending it at home. I'm going to my first protest in my lifetime by attending a No Kings rally Saturday.
