Or this is just Trump having an Alzheimer's episode

I don't think I've ever believed that people are capable of making decisions that are reasonably likely to be in their own interests at all times. But the alternative to collective governing is centralized governing, and the people in those types have a much harder time resisting oppression.

Just gonna leave this here without any context eh?

Even if you took him at face value, I don't think this gives him an excuse to dodge responsibility. He is the commander in chief. If he's truly that detached from the military even months after, then he is abandoning his duty. I don't think he realizes that claiming ignorance isn't any better.

I think besides his obvious severe mental decline, this is what's driving all of Trump's insanity. He's still desperately trying to escape the consequences of his life, even in office.

And the infuriating part is he will probably get to die before he is held accountable.

One Afghan immigrant shoots two National Guard members, MAGA insists that all immigration from "Third World" (Read: Brown countries) is immediately and permanently halted.
Young white American males gun down dozens of school children each year, MAGA insists we make it easier for them to get guns.

This is just absolutely mind blowing.

So the two agencies would have to work together to nail this down. And the FBI would have to disseminate this info to its many agents all assigned to work on this.

The FBI knows how to redact files, obviously, but I am guessing that they are not the ones who decide unilaterally what specific information gets to go or stay -- that's the job of the DOJ to stay compliant with the law.

While I do not at all doubt shenanigans with respect to redacting material damaging to Trump, reading through the emails in this article, to me this just looks like basic coordination.

ICE Detains Woman With Family Ties to White House Press Secretary

Press Secretary's brother is engaged to a woman he has a child with. Then they split up and get shared custody. Then the mother gets targeted by ICE.

This is completely baseless speculation, but this feels to me like using the government to conveniently hand full custody to Leavitt's brother.

Mildly inconvenient = dehumanizing? What are you even saying?

"You kill them or I kill you". I wonder how that will go over

Chief Justice Roberts disagrees with you on this one

Very generous of you to still assume there's a chance they have any principals.

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

Ah yes, gets accused of murdering (because he did), and in retaliation, performs more murder.

Law enforcement should not be under the President.

The President should not be the one nominating judges.

The President should not be able to effectively veto legislation passed by Congress.

This is the core of the problem right here. All the power concentrated in one person. There should not just be one person capable of unilaterally making all decisions.

Of fucking course

Because it was a shooting at an ICE detention facility

This looks like some goon was told to write an "anti-ICE" message on some bullets, and did exactly what they were told.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

It's backpedaling, except without actually undoing their damage.

Sadly, unless people actually start ripping and torrenting again, Plex is kinda useless
