From the beginning of his first term. Trump wanted to have a military parade in DC. “His” generals said no, because the streets would buckle under the tanks/trucks, and because they felt it was un-American. Those generals are gone now. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Destroying the CDC team researching Lyme disease. Disbanding the HHS Long COVID council. Cutting Medicaid. How is any of this cost-saving? This is not about efficiency. It’s about funding tax breaks for billionaires while costing Americans their health. www.9news.com/article/news...

Probably no US President was spied on more by Soviet intelligence than Reagan. If what we're learning is true, then with some reading between the lines, the KGB was grooming Trump as a "village idiot" to help them spy on Reagan. No wonder his codename (Krasnov) is a surname that means "beautiful".

Not a day went by when Biden was POTUS that Trump just sat quietly by. He attacked Biden and Dems everyday and never stopped. Very disappointed in Biden and Obama for not being front and center everyday while Trump blames Zelensky for a war he didn't start and sides with despots to enrich himself.

I've often insisted that we need to keep our eyes on Trump's actions more than his words (because so many of the words are bluster & lies). Now we have a genuinely dangerous action: a purge at the Pentagon, notably a purge of the top figures who can decide if Trump's commands are unconstitutional.

Trump just made a civilian the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Chairman is legally required to be an active-duty military officer. Trump is scared of our officers, knowing full well they will absolutely deny an illegal order!
