The Commander in Chief Is Not Okay
#Trump put on a disturbing show for America’s generals & admirals
The assembled #military leaders likely already knew that #Hegseth is unqualified for his job, & they could mostly tune out the sloganeering that Hegseth, a former TV host, was probably aiming more at FauxNews & the White House than at the military itself. What they could not ignore, however, was the spectacle that #Trump put on when he spoke after Hegseth.

The #Government Wants to See Your Papers
And #SCOTUS decides that the #4thAmendment might not be for everyone.
“You there. Stop what you’re doing. Take off that tool belt & hard hat—let’s see some ID. Why? Because we don’t think you’re a citizen. Now show us your papers.”
This kind of behavior by government officials is now legal in the #US.

The #Trump administration broke the #law. Its officials knew they were breaking the law. And they’ll likely try to do so again.

UN special rapporteur on torture Alice Edwards: "Though Russia has denied that it employs torture, the consistent and widespread nature of witness accounts while in Russian custody — along with Moscow’s failure to address the issue — have led me to the conclusion that it can only be a systemic, state-endorsed practice approved at the highest levels"

The Putinization of America
Trump’s deference to the Russian #dictator has become full-blown imitation.
We are barely a month into the second presidential term of #Trump & he has made his top priorities clear: the destruction of America’s government & influence & the preservation of #Russia’s.
