Trump’s Pentagon purge has included the top military lawyers. Nobody should be surprised. Dictators politicize the military. Trump wants those with the biggest guns loyal to him, not the Constitution He says he’s demilitarizing it. I call BS. Orwellian to the core. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Trump: "If you notice, every country that has the death penalty has no drug problem. They execute drug dealers. And when you think about it, it's very humane, because every drug dealer on average they say kills at least 500 people ... I don't know if our country is ready for it. I am ready for it."

The Joint Chiefs don't change with a new president. Supposed to be impartial, nonpartisan. Until now. Trump fired the Chair, Gen. Charles Brown (because he's Black), Navy chief Lisa Franchetti (for being a woman), and the 3 top Army, Navy, and Air Force lawyers (because they say follow the law).

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: "Inspectors general are a headache for everyone. You know why? Because they're investigating every agency and they find stuff! Including waste and fraud and abuse! They wouldn't be firing them if they cared about waste, fraud, and abuse."

Broke: DOGE's supposed "savings," even with generous accounting, aren't enough to positively impact the federal budget, certainly not when factoring in the lost benefits Woke: DOGE's supposed "savings" aren't even enough to cover DOGE

Congressional Democrats approval at 21%, Trump at 45%, and DEI policies at 53% sure doesn’t fit the theory that the culture writ large has shifted, most Americans are right-wing culture warriors now, and appealing to that is what Democrats need to do to get support.

Carville to Hannity: I will tell you this: More deficit has accumulated on a Donald Trump than other any other president in history… Your viewers and I’m reading another view so one of us is wrong. You got fact checkers at Fox?

"It’s hard to say which is worse, Trump’s moral depravity or his stupidity, but both have been on vivid display in the past ten days vis-à-vis Ukraine." @monacharen.bsky.social calls this the top depredation of many. I agree, despite tough competition for No. 1. www.thebulwark.com/p/america-jo...

It’s amazing how many Republican politicians, Fox hosts, & commentators have come out to strongly disagree with Trump’s statements about Ukraine while none of them even mentioned his name while doing so. Their level of fear and terror of Trump is something to watch.

As a business genius, I have fired everyone in Accounts Receivable and the attorneys who sue anyone who shirks contractually required payments to us. This will generate so much savings that we'll have a lot more money in the end. You can praise me now.

Correct. He’s not capable of playing multidimensional chess. Or chess. Or checkers. Or tic-tac-toe. As one of his aides put it during Shit Show I, “he’s just eating the pieces” on the board. Nothing he does is strategic. He’s purely guided by narcissistic, sociopathic impulses at all times.

Democracy does not mean that a bare majority—or in 2025 America’s case, a plurality—can break any law they feel like and no one else has any rights. There are dozens of democracies in the world, and none operate that way. It wouldn’t make sense, and no one actually thinks of democracy like that.
