That standard explains Trump's decision to loosen restrictions on our use of land mines. I mean, why even comment, other than to point out that over 160 other countries ban their use?
It accounts for extending the travel ban. Of course, Trump's loyalty to Saudi Arabia shows through in their exemption.
And how else to make sense of restricting Medicaid funding?
Other notes....
Looks like Andy McCabe may have really good reasons for suing the DOJ over his dismissal. Of course his firing was about politics, not about misconduct -- which probably never occurred. Notice the source here: Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
And poor Marco Rubio, who seems to concede Trump's guilt yet thinks impeachment would have been too divisive. "Just because actions meet a standard of impeachment does not mean it is in the best interest of the country to remove a President from office."
Looks like the coverup continues, by the way, as the Justice Department acknowledges but won't share about 25 emails that show Trump's control of the Ukraine mess all along.
Does it matter that Trump doesn't know where Kansas City is? Compared to other problems, no. But yes, it does matter. Here's some of why.
How do we assess fascism when we experience it? Observations on Stefan Zweig, who survived the Nazis, and Ece Temelkuran, author of How to Lose a Country in Seven Steps.
It's time for vigilance. Vanity Fair reports that Trump has an enemies list, and he's willing to use the Justice Department to hunt them down. (See Andy McCabe above.)
Finally, strongly recommend you skim through these pieces from Politico on what's changed with respect to elections.
