He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

I decided to take the paywall off of this one. It's a few days old, but it gives the right context. Donald Trump is doing all of this BECAUSE HE'S LOSING. This is not his final and inexorable triumph. It's the last desperate gasp of a failing strongman. www.tracinskiletter.com/p/the-taco-r...

The orange dictator is best known for (along with sexual predation, fraud, defamation, stiffing contractors, and multiple criminal indictments) lying.

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

I say this with love: I understand that a lot of people didn't expect the fascists to militarily occupy an opposition stronghold. And yet, it is what people SHOULD have expected. It is what Trump tried to do in 2020, when institutionalists held him back. Those institutionalists are gone.

For Trump’s circle and their echo chamber, this display of military strength is a “validation”a proof of concept that forceful federal action can dominate politically and culturally significant territory. It recasts federal power as a tool against domestic dissent.

Back in 2020, Trump made clear he thinks America's fallen military heroes are “suckers and losers.” Keep this in mind if you happen to be a member of the Marines or National Guard being deployed to Los Angeles.

I suspect in the days ahead we will hear a large number of people saying publicly what no one has been saying publicly. I suspect everyone reading this knows what I am referring to. A POTUS who falsely accuses Democratic leaders of paying for a military invasion of the United States is a madman.

Museums are for exhibitions about all sorts of things. Who would ever think that a museum's purpose is to purge things? People who know and care nothing about higher learning and civilization, that's who. Brutes.

He ran for president for 2 reasons: 1) to evade criminal prosecution; and 2) to cause harm to people he hates. He is a sick man.

I'm not a defense expert, but I'll speculate that running the largest and most complex organization on the planet might involve more than pleasantly spouting political propaganda while high on booze.

The entire MAGA policy and communication structures are based on lies, 100%. Eventually, reality will break through. Lies are not sustainable.
