The endless array of misdeeds, malpractice, and actual crimes from the #TrumpRegime is bewildering, exhausting, and deadening. Which seems to be the point.

[The Washington Post] ‘Morally acceptable’ for U.S. troops to disobey orders, archbishop says]

So, will #Trump call the archbishop a traitor who deserves to be hung? Will the #JusticeDept start investigating the #Catholic Church? Will the regime insist on appointing it's own archbishop for the US #military? Stay tuned!

"The Toddler-in-Chief"

#Trump's tantrums over (a) not being given a #NobelPeacePrize he "deserves," and (b) not being given a #Greenland he "deserves," would be hilarious, if it were for trade (and possibly military) wars that he's stirring up.

For what was once a quirky joke, the stealing of #Greenland has become a touchstone for the moral corruption of the #TrumpRegime. It's #MightMakesRight attitude and framing of being a bully as a moral imperative is a danger to us all.

Pete #Hegseth says the military newspaper "Stars and Stripes" is too #woke and must be rechanneled to focus solely on exploding rockets and gouts of blood and how nifty the Commander in Chief is.

Sure, it's mandated *by law* to have an "independent" editorial board ... but as we know, to the #Trump Regime, "independent" is almost as naughty an I-word as "inclusion."

"The Emperor's New Peace Prize"

Part of me want to just go along with the gag so that #Trump will finally STFU about how much he deserves a #NobelPeacePrize. Except then he'll want another one ...

"Greenland, Trump, and Backing Oneself into a Corner"

The more #Trump keeps talking about how #Greenland will and must be annexed, the more he feel forced to do it lest the entire world point and laugh and think he's a loser. Which is both pathetic and dangerous.

"Like a little kid playing 'war'"

Pete #Hegseth's frantic compulsion to show that he's the killingest alpha male on the planet is driving him to make some fundamental (and consequential) errors about #AI and the #military.

RIP #ScottAdams.

Yeah, he lost me as a fan (and customer) way back. But for a time there, his #Dilbert defined white collar office life in a way that really resonated with me and pretty much everyone around me. And I feel compassion for anyone who lost a fight with cancer.

"Trump's weird obsession about wind power"

From cancer scares to bad economics, #Trump is clearly obsessed about the "dangers" of #windpower . But why?
