America voluntarily destroyed itself in the dumbest way possible. It's so painful and also darkly comic. I mean, it's just remarkable how the most incompetent and reckless people were elected.
What else did people expect?
All of this could have been avoided.
Alas. We're in it, friends.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Trump on AF1 displayed zero knowledge of tariffs, trade inbalances, supply chains, corporate bonds or service vs manufacturing economies. He’s clueless a/b chain reactions. There’s no scenario where high tariffs succeed for the US. Worst of all, he doesn’t care that we have the most to lose.

Been on this DOJ beat for a minute now. Can’t recall any other presser where line agents in raid jackets just stood in the background for the cameras. You’d see leadership figures in suits, and they’d typically have speaking roles. Agents just standing there in jackets like background actors is new.
