I’m no fan of the Iranian nuclear program. Which is why President Obama signed a treaty with Iran to dismantle it. The only reason Iran is enriching uranium is because Trump tossed out the Obama-Iran treaty the minute he got into office. This was all preventable.

Just a reminder that you can be against the Iranian regime AND deeply troubled that we have a president waging unilateral war without Congressional approval.

Last time I checked, unilateral declarations of war were not Constitutional or under the president’s purview. No surprise that Trump doesn’t care.

The Vice President of the United States doesn’t call the Senator from California “Jose” by mistake. They are doubling on down on racist dog whistles and everyone knows it.

Trump saw a relatively peaceful, controlled protest in LA and called in the National Guard and Marines to provoke violence and thus justify calling in troops. He knows little. But he sure knows the Hitler playbook by heart.

Sitting U.S. Senators are being hauled off in handcuffs for asking questions. We’re way past the “how will we know it’s Fascism” questions. The authoritarian playbook is in full use in the one place they said it could never happen.

29 years married. 34 together. 41 as friends. I’ll never understand how I got this lucky, but I’d do it all over again. Except Beth thinks vow renewals are super creepy because we once walked by 1 performed by a Hawaiian lay minister who looked like Doug Henning & she assumed that’s who I’d hire.

If you ever want to experience the helplessness of your car dying in the middle of traffic, I'd recommend trying it at the height of rush hour, in the middle lane of Wilshire Boulevard. For fun, add in people rolling down their windows to mockingly yell, "you can't park here."

Trump foreign policy: The US is defiantly against protecting other nations. America First* * Unless said country offers you a $400 million air palace as a bribe. In which case, we protect other nations!

Since his 2nd term began, Trump has been ruled against in over 200 American courts. Including judges he appointed. He wants you to think he’s winning. He wants you to think there’s no way of stopping him. Neither of those are true.

Trump just babbled on and on about what a “grocery” is, but, by all means, let’s get back to how Joe Biden once didn’t recognize George Clooney in a crowded party.

Between terms, Donald Trump was charged with 91 felonies and convicted of 34. And yet, tv pundits are suddenly SHOCKED that he isn’t following the Emoluments Clause to the letter of the law?

I guarantee you that you and I have spent way more time studying the nuances of the Emoluments Clause than Donald Trump ever has.

Can you believe the President would acccept a $400 million gift from Qatar? Ordinarily, no. But what I believe has expanded a lot since some of you elected a 34-times-convicted felon as our president.

“Do you really believe that Trump would use his office to enrich himself?” Before you answer, might I remind you that he’s been convicted of 34 felons and charged with 91? Okay, now you can answer…

Our Constitution was naively predicated on the assumption that a wannabe kleptocrat or a wannabe dictator would never get anywhere near the Oval Office. Because we have shockingly little recourse once they are there. Thanks John Roberts!

The corruption of Trump’s Middle East visit is so blatant and transparent, it somehow feels more challenging to combat than if he sneakily tried pulling a fast one.

Trump is equal parts corrupt, racist, authoritarian, lawless, and inept. I feel he’d be easier to combat if he was any one of these things. But to be so unabashedly all of them, it makes it hard to message against.

A foreign nation flattering an easy-to-flatter president with a new Air Force One sounds like the premise of every mid 90’s Harrison Ford geopolitical/ terrorist thriller ever.

I feel like America doesn’t have nearly enough safeguards against a President corruptly enriching himself in office. Because we’ve rightly assumed, until now, that voters would never let anyone that crooked anywhere near the Oval.

I’m sure I disagree with the new Pope on lots of big issues. But if I’m going to model morality after an American boomer male, I’d way rather choose Pope Leo than a twice-impeached, racist game show host with a bankrupt necktie company.
