A SLAP IN THE FACE.
Trump wasn’t concerned about sailors aboard the USS Lincoln being pushed to the breaking point. He denied their suffering.
Now the Navy might replace Black war hero Doris “Dorie” Miller’s name on a carrier with Trump’s.
Trump wants the honor without honoring those who serve.

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

ICE-Gestapo have now changed policy to allow their murderous agents to illegally enter homes without a judicial warrant.
I repeat once again, they aren’t law enforcement, they are a domestic fascist terrorist group that should’ve been abolished long ago.

So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.
