@POTUS you blame everyone but Putin and have spent more time tweeting and blustering bullsh*t

Those troops matter to him as much as Khashoggi did.
He would rather look the other way. It’s obvious to any rational citizen of this country.
Remember how he told us “You think our country is so innocent”.

Susan Rice drops the hammer
I don’t have a lot to add to this op-ed by Susan Rice in today’s New York Times.

Here’s the closing paragraph —

"... What must we conclude from all this? At best, our commander in chief is utterly derelict in his duties, presiding over a dangerously dysfunctional national security process that is putting our country and those who wear its uniform at great risk. At worst, the White House is being run by liars and wimps catering to a tyrannical president who is actively advancing our arch adversary’s nefarious interests."

“Utterly derelict in his duties” is the best-case scenario. But we all knew that already, didn’t we?

An excellent review of recent history:

Thanks to the president
Since his election, Donald Trump has been a mirror, held up to us Americans and propelling us to ask: How did we get here?

I am the son of an Air Force brigadier general and served myself to the rank of colonel. Of my 57 years drawing breath, I’ve spent 51 of them directly or indirectly serving this once great nation. So, as you might imagine, I found myself on Nov. 8, 2016, more than a little dismayed at the news we had elevated Donald J. Trump to the nation’s highest office — a man so clearly unfit to lead America.

But over time I’ve come to appreciate Trump in ways I did not expect. Now, I am thankful that we elected Trump. Because Donald Trump is exactly what America needed. Trump is a mirror, a warning, and ultimately a catalyst for change. Reflected in Trump is all that is wrong with the United States: the injustice of our broken social contract, the crassness of our politics, and the cruelty of our economy. Trump is also the shock that a mature democracy needs for action. To use a timely metaphor, Trump and his supporters are a virus, and they have activated our democratic antibodies. What we are seeing in the streets is the body fighting the infection.

America was the first modern nation, created of, by, and for the people — supposedly a nation with no class structure, where anyone could reach their potential. But that was a myth. America had classes: slaves at the bottom — treated not as people but property — then poor and working-class whites, and atop it all our original aristocracy of landed gentry and traders in the South, merchants and industrialists in the North. We fought a civil war to end slavery but failed in its aftermath to establish the more perfect union mentioned by our Founders. What we are seeing in our current moment is not only a race war but a class war. America must confront systemic racism to move forward, but it also must acknowledge that we have created a permanent underclass of all colors (though mostly Black and brown). We are a society where your melanin content and your zip code determine your future.

Beginning with Newt Gingrich in 1994, Republicans stopped trying to govern and instead began accumulating power. McKay Coppins writes in his profile of Gingrich in the Atlantic, “… few figures in modern history have done more than Gingrich to lay the groundwork for Trump’s rise.” Effective governance requires compromise, trust, and mutual respect. Gingrich’s new version of Republican had no interest in that. He destroyed the bipartisan structures for governing and even resorted to name-calling and conspiracy theories — over the line at the time, but in hindsight presaging Trumpism.

A straight line can be drawn from Gingrich’s “Contract with America” to the tea party in 2009. Another outsider movement characterized by distrust of government, expertise, and experience, the tea party helped elect a rogues’ gallery of loathsome lawmakers — I’m looking at you, Rand Paul (Ky.) and Ted Cruz (Texas). Trump’s dystopian vision of America is the ultimate flowering of the outsider, populist, anti-government thinking that has metastasized in the Republican Party over the past decades.

Under both political parties, America has rolled back regulatory guardrails and created a volatile economy that values the wrong things. Executive compensation packages for publicly traded companies show that our current economic model rewards short-term financial performance, placing little value on the broader social landscape. It also encourages risky and complex structures that are susceptible to wild swings and disastrous crashes. When bailouts are needed, it’s not the wealthy who pay. The system helped create the greatest wealth disparity in the United States in 100 years. As wealth is concentrated at destabilizing levels, our tax system, according to leading economists, is increasingly regressive, pushing the burden of taxes onto the shrinking middle class.

Over the same period, we dismantled the meager social safety net we had. We have reduced access to food aid, job training, and unemployment insurance. Meanwhile, the cost of health care and higher education has skyrocketed, placing both out of reach for many Americans.

Now for the good news.
Everything wrong with America is manifested in Trump. The hunger for power, the vile derision of people who don’t look like you, the cruelty, the privilege, the gleeful ignorance, and mendacious narcissism. Our revulsion at Trump is causing Americans to ask: How did we get to this place? And how do we get out? That will take time and hard work by well-intentioned people from every corner of American society.

But the process has started.
What is happening in our streets is how open, progressive societies improve — fitfully, imperfectly, frustratingly, sometimes tragically. But we do improve. So, thank you, President Trump. Thank you for showing us what we were becoming and helping us find the courage to confront it. We are going to be OK.

Cult Experts Warn That Trumpism Has Become A Death Cult Akin To Jim Jones
Trump supporters say they are okay sacrificing their lives for the economy, making cult experts speak out.
Governors and state leaders across the country are faced with the decision of whether to lift their stay-at-home orders or extend them for public safety. Conservatives and Trump supporters are getting antsy and have started a movement to resist social distancing orders. Their resistance has sparked protests around the nation, reports the Daily Beast.

President Donald Trump’s tangent on how he could force governors to reopen their economies seems to be a jumping-off point for conservatives. They cling to whatever the president says, no matter how many expert officials disagree. Trumpism is a dangerous method of thought and ideology - bringing people to defy logic to support their candidate even when it puts them at risk.

Legal Experts Explode Over Donald Trump’s Clemency For Roger Stone
CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin called it “the most corrupt and cronyistic act in perhaps all of recent history.” Many other legal experts agreed.

Legal experts joined the cascade of criticism and anger being directed at Donald Trump on Friday after the president commuted the prison sentence of Roger Stone, his longtime adviser.

CNN’s chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin described Trump’s granting of clemency to Stone ― who was soon set to begin a 40-month sentence for lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstructing the House investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election ― as “the most corrupt and cronyistic act in perhaps all of recent history.”

Disgraced former President “Richard Nixon at the height of Watergate never pardoned or commuted the sentences of any of the people involved in Watergate,” Toobin told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “He thought he could never get away with it.”

“This is what corruption looks like,” former federal and state prosecutor Elie Honig told CNN’s Don Lemon. “This is just a raw abuse of power.”

White House insiders are worried that 'unhinged conspiracy theorists' are being given more and more powerful roles at the Pentagon
'It's like these individuals are living in a complete alternate reality,' one source told me, adding that the idea of such people still serving in government was 'terrifying'

... The push to install loyal Trumpists and Flynn acolytes in top Pentagon roles at the same time that officers like Vindman are being drummed out of the military has alarmed current and former NSC and Defence Department officials, who say the situation is emblematic of an administration that encourages unhinged conspiracy theorists at the expense of those loyal to the Constitution.

“This president has created an alternate universe in which speaking truth to power is an occupational hazard, and I think no one better illustrates that than Alex Vindman and what happens to him,” said Ned Price, a former CIA analyst and Obama-era NSC spokesperson.

Price, who quit the CIA rather than serve under Trump, said Vindman, who “did nothing more than follow the law… and fulfill his obligation to the American people and honor his oath to the Constitution,” is “the polar opposite” of Higgins, the latter of whom is “loyal not to the Constitution, not to the American people, but to a president”.

“You see that loyalty [to Trump] come out in that absolutely bonkers memo,” he continued. “It has essentially escaped public consciousness that a senior NSC staffer in the Trump administration wrote a memo that outlines the president's domestic political opposition in terms of Islamists, globalists, the deep state and the press.”

Another former NSC official who served under the Trump administration said Higgins’ memo was “consistent with the ideology” of the administration and the composition of NSC leadership under Flynn, but added that it was still surprising how “straight-up appalling and bizarre” it was when they actually read it.
“It's like these individuals are living in a complete alternate reality,” they said, adding that the idea of such people still serving in government was “terrifying” and the fact that Higgins’ ideas made it into a formal memo that reached Trump’s desk “shows how dangerous somebody like that can be”. ...

Trump lashes out at Toomey, Romney after Roger Stone clemency criticism
President Trump late Saturday lashed out at a pair of Republican senators after they criticized his decision to commute the prison sentence of longtime confidant and former campaign adviser Roger Stone.

In a tweet, Trump accused Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) of being “RINOS,” a pejorative meaning “Republican in name only.”

"Do RINO’S Pat Toomey & Mitt Romney have any problem with the fact that we caught Obama, Biden, & Company illegally spying on my campaign?" Trump asked in a tweet, claiming that an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election included "lying and leaking all the way." ...
