Barack Obama warned on Tuesday night that the U.S. was “dangerously close” to allowing its government officials to act in a way “consistent with autocracies,” offering a veiled rebuke of the Trump administration that was delivered with trademark caution.

Outside agitators ordered directly via Trump are driving the chaos to create a fake crisis -- then he solves it and claims victory. It's impeachable. Protesters or agitators: Who is driving chaos at L.A. immigration protests? - Los Angeles Times

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

we're maybe 1-2 months out from republicans publicly and explicitly making the argument that people need to suffer for donald trump, that people gave him a mandate to make them suffer, and i'm honestly not sure where that goes for at least part of the base.

Huge millenarian cult vibes coming off every time Trump speaks of tariffs today. The beautiful American resurgence is just around the corner if you hold on through a little pain. He's got the propaganda apparatus and the cult though. And millenarian sects can hang on surprisingly long. (e.g. TSLA)
