  Brian Katulis: "Good point by Juliette Kayyem: Trump targets his domestic opponents with his troll power more than he targets America’s adversaries in the world like the Iranian regime and Russia’s Putin. This tactic is usually aimed at distracting from his own policy failures." #Trump #WorstPresidentEver #PutinsPuppet #politics

  Why did the #IranWar begin? Trump felt happy after kidnapping Maduro from Venezuela and he felt like having another cheap and painless military victory, this time in Iran. Trump did not understand differences between Iran and Venezuela. Trump quickly lost the #IranWar, but the war continues because Trump is unwilling to admit to this big of a mistake. Make the #IranWar a campaign issue, especially because Trump plans to start new wars after the #IranWar ends. copy: @renewedresistance@channel.or...

  "Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the BBC isn’t going quite as he’d hoped. In response to the suit, the BBC served Trump with extensive discovery over the state of his finances. Then, on Monday, a federal magistrate judge ordered the trust that holds his business empire to start handing over financial records. These are the same records Trump spent his presidency shielding from public view. Whoops": https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/10bil-in-damages-really #lawfare...

  Paramount CEO David Ellison is a billionaire who supports Donald Trump. When David Ellison gained control of CBS, CBS started slanting its news broadcasts in a pro-Trump way. Now there is a threat of David Ellison perverting news on CNN in the same way.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYou/116971693809552022 When Democrats had the majority in the House, Republicans had the opportunity to name someone to the #January6th Committee. When Rep.
