We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon.

I wish the "Trump is a Kremlin agent" narrative would die forever. He's not a fucking agent. He's a narcissistic, wannabe authoritarian rube. He wants to be a Putin-like ruler. He already believed the same sort of shit they do. They know how to play to his vanity. He's way too dumb and impulsive.

A criminal gang has taken over the White House. It's not a group of "conservative politicians." It's a criminal gang run by a convicted felon. It's breaking laws every day. It's kidnapping people. It's soliciting bribes and extorting businesses. This is not a political story – it's a crime story.
