"The authoritarian wants opponents and friends to know that political adversaries have been targeted. His lawyers can’t say that in court, so an authoritarian has to straddle two worlds for a period of time. They use the legal system on the way to subverting it." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-want...

Vile. Despicable. Loathsome. Odious. Abhorrent. Cruel. Heartless. Disgusting. Detestable. I really can’t find the right word to describe how I feel about Donald Trump’s spawn.

Today Ukraine was attacked by russian drones with bags full of nails – National Police. One such UAV attacked Kharkiv. Its goal is to seriously injure as many people as possible. Russia is becoming increasingly brutal. Trump is becoming increasingly naive. Europe is becoming increasingly lethargic.

You could talk about the latest reports on Trump's unprecedented graft. You could talk about how to message in advance of the assault on Medicaid. You could talk about impending supply crises. You could talk about standing up on rule of law. Or you could be an asshole about cancer recurrence.
