"But there’s no sidestepping a president deploying the military in an American city based on ludicrous falsehoods about a foreign invasion. Indeed, it’s hard to think of a clearer signpost on the road to dictatorship." --Michelle Goldberg, "This Is What Autocracy Looks Like," New York Times

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.”

Even if most Americans haven’t abandoned their sense of empathy, many don’t seem bothered by the rancidness of their leaders. It might be the ugliest effect of Trump’s return—the normalization of spectacular corruption, desensitization to lawless power, acceptance of moral collapse. George Packer

Trump picked a 22-year-old with no experience to tackle U.S. extremism. Five years ago he was a gardener. Last year, he worked in a grocery store. Only the best people www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

"Major geoeconomic moves are being made by one man who has done no homework, modeling or stress-testing and has fostered little apparent interagency process, with no congressional oversight or apparent reference to history." --Thomas L. Friedman, "Trump's Gilded Gut Instinct," New York Times

"In sum, what you are seeing from this Trump II administration, and its bended-knee Congress, is a dangerous, undisciplined, intellectually inconsistent farce that we will pay dearly for in the future." --Thomas L. Friedman, "Trump's Gilded Gut Instinct," New York Times

Many Republicans "live in red communities where a perceived act of betrayal to Trump is followed by an onslaught of targeting. They're afraid for their lives or families' lives. It adds up to an atmosphere of false fawning, pretend adulation, and genuine fear." Norm Eisen, Obama's ethics lawyer

The Department of Homeland Security is NOT making our country safer. They're ignoring immigration laws. They're handcuffing moms, zip tying children and disappearing them without hearings or due process. They're weaponizing DHS to purge people from the population. They're hiding their faces.⬇️

"The Republican Party is now an entirely illegitimate political party, a bunch of sycophantic traitors mouthing Kremlin propaganda to defend this detestable little man who is occupying the White House. Trump is a disgrace to the office of the presidency." --Ron Reagan Jr.

We are just four months into this cruel and hateful Trump regime dismantling our democratic government and the America we have known. It’s understandable if you’re on the edge of despair. But remember: That’s exactly what they want you to think. --Steven Beschloss Let your GOP cowards have it.

Throw away the history books; discard feeble comparisons to scandals of the past. The brazenness of self-enrichment resembles nothing seen in any earlier White House. This is American corruption on the scale of a post-Soviet republic or a postcolonial African dictatorship. --David Frum, The Atlantic
