During the entire insane scene where he yelled at aides, blamed Europe for not helping, and worried about comparisons to Carter's Iran crisis, Donald Trump continued to obsess about his ballroom, and mused about giving himself the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration in US history.
WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system

Trump coup conspirator John Eastman has been disbarred. That’s good. He abused his status as a White House lawyer to advocate lawbreaking, even doing so in writing the night of Jan. 6
But quite bad that this, years later, is the only consequence for him, or just about any high level coup plotter.
