Napoleon this guy's not. "Cuba would be easy to conquer because it's not far away." 🙄

The only question I have about a Cuba invasion (not a "raid" or "operation") is whether it will be an "October surprise" for this year, to (he thinks) bolster the GOP in the election, or wait until his lame duck years to prove he's still Large and In Charge.

I've no particular desire to defend #Vance, or his boss' shoddy #Iran quasi-deal, but it's also aggravating that his (accurate) criticism of #Netanyahou 's actions threatening that deal is drawing so much knee-jerk "how dare you criticize #Israel?!" fire.

It occurs to me that if opposing #LGBTQ rights or expressions or events is a religious thing that must be afforded full #FirstAmendment protection, then the reverse (favoring such things) must be true as well.

"Take off that Pride pin."
"This is an expression of my religious faith and must be accommodated."

Happy #Juneteenth. Remembering #history is an important way to improve the future.

I admit I've been a bit surprised that the holiday hasn't been a more active target by the history-rewriting #TrumpRegime (who believe that *dictating* history is an important way to *control* the future).

The psychopathy of this guy never fails to amaze (and disgust). "No, the alleged war atrocity should be ignored because it happened sooooooo long ago, and, y'know, just a mistake. You're weird that you think otherwise."

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that #Trump 's estimate of the cost of the East Wing / #Ballroom project -- and who would pay for it -- was a sack of lies.

In case anyone still had a doubt, #Trump considers the #military as much a personal plaything as a set of toy soldiers, and gives it just about the same amount of respect you would expect,

Everything he touches is dirtied. We're going to be scrubbing the walls of his filth for decades ... if we're lucky.

Orders from the cranky 80yo toddler? Proactive spittlelicking from his personally selected lickspittles?

In either case the #KennedyCenter junta is vowing to continue appealing and, apparently, not showing the removed presidential name from its walls.

Show was, unsurprisingly, well done and entertaining. And the newly-reopened Mary Rippon outdoor theater is lovely.

If you want to provide some on-the-record feedback to the National Park Service about the ghastly Arc d' Trump, here's the place: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?documentID=151576

Or you can email directly to ncr_planning@nps.gov

Will it matter? Likely not. Is it worth offering your voice: I think so.

Good to see the #Vicepresident is boldly and resolutely following in the inspiring footsteps of the #President... by being a blustering faux-alpha meddlsome hate-monger. Great leadership, JD!
