Absolutely YES!
The undeluded among us never believed it was suicide. It was self protection and revenge.
Put all the pieces we know of together and the picture becomes clear.

1,887 days.

That is how long it took House GOP leadership to allow a simple plaque honoring the heroes of Jan 6 to be placed in the Capitol.

Five years of foot-dragging, revisionist history, and cowardice. They didn't want this memorial because they didn't want the reminder. Absolutely shameful.

Exclusive | Epstein prison guard googled him minutes before his body was found — and made mysterious deposit days before his suicide: DOJ Tova Noel was one of the two Metropolitan Correctional Center workers accused of falsifying records to say they checked on Epstein throughout the night before his suicide.

New records show a guard searched Jeffrey Epstein’s name minutes before his body was found. This follows thousands in unexplained cash deposits to that guard’s account days prior. These aren't coincidences; they’re receipts. We need a full independent investigation now.

When @bradlander & @megynkelly agree it might be time to take notice

Q: “You worried about gas prices?”
TRUMP: “No. Short excursion.”
Q: “Still projecting up to 6 weeks?”
TRUMP: “Whatever it takes.”

So… not a short excursion then?
Also - whatever it takes… to do what?

He wears the same hat to the dignified transfer of fallen soldiers that died under his watch as he does to go golfing at his country club. Zero respect for our military.

Cheap, no class trash

The "Tan Suit" was a national scandal. The "Coffee Cup Salute" was an insult to the uniform. But a baseball cap at a Dignified Transfer? That's just "Saturday" for the MAGA movement.

When you give a dangerously impaired convicted criminal power…

Heaven, help us!

I bet they all claim to be good Christians

The only winners so far are the military-industrial complex, big oil and the oligarchs who get advance notice of Trump and Bibi’s actions.

By any objective measure, this clusterfuck is getting worse.

Now Russia is supplying Iran with intel. China is considering passive support.

This war hurts us more than it does them.

Otherwise they’d be urging the international communities for de-escalation.

…

He’s losing his GCC allies.

They’re hemorrhaging billions as their airports remain shut, their oil exports choked off, and their infrastructure under constant siege from Iran.

…

Trump is losing the Iranian people.

He’s bombed their children and shown a dangerously naive understanding of the Iranian regime.

Any superficial regime change would leave the clerics still in charge and make things immeasurably worse for any Iranians craving freedom and democracy.

…

Trump is losing the American people.

No amount of mainstream or social media gymnastics will get them behind this war, especially as they see more soldiers in caskets and their costs of living spike out of control.

…

“Dad, you keep teaching me how to be honest, to be kind, to be brave, to push back on bullies, to stand for what I believe in. What if I end up being none of these things?”

“Then, son, it’s likely you’ll end up having a long and successful career in Congress.”

Agree with all you said but when I tried to sleep last night, I kept thinking how we are now the country we used to fight against to save the those who needed us to defend them.
It wasn’t that long ago.

Good guys shouldn’t have to struggle so much to prove they’re the good guys.

When comms from the Commander and SecWar are drenched in bloodlust, it makes you look more like the crazy guys.

When you drag your feet to own your screwups, such as the bombing of an elementary school full of kids, it makes you look no different than the guys you’re at war with.

…

So when you circumvent the Constitution with word games, it makes you look more like the shady guys.

When you produce a series of bizarre war hype videos, it makes you look more like the unhinged guys.

…

Here’s the thing about using the “Trust us, we’re the good guys” premise to wage a war.

It puts you on the hook to prove you’re the good guys.

Every day. In every interaction.

What Trump REALLY Wants From His War We must not give it to him

Fourth in a five part series of how countries handled return of democracy after dictatorship.
An important read.

“America hasn’t started; they’re still there. But the question of what to do after the fall will come, and will be painful.”

What will America do? Outstanding series, thank you.

After the Fall: How Central Europe Purged Its Authoritarians, and Why America Won't Even Try East Germany preserved the Stasi files. The Czech Republic disqualified informants from public office. Poland's process was messier. America's process hasn't started.

After the Fall: How Central Europe Purged Its Authoritarians, and Why America Won't Even Try

America needs to take care of its Trump problem ASAP. The longer he’s in the Oval Office the more damage he causes. He’s costing taxpayers trillions of dollars,costing lives,costing us essential diplomatic alliances while endangering our safety with treacherous friends like Putin who’s helping Iran.

In the last 14 months of Biden's term, 1,740,000 total jobs were created. In the first 14 months of Trump's current term, 150,000 jobs were created. That's a ratio of 11.6 to 1 ...

The idea that "Republicans do better on the economy" is and has always been BS.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Will do ✅
