A Trumpled Nation 0

Carlos Lozada takes a look at the damage the Trump maladministration is doing to America’s global standing and is less than sanguine. A snippet:

Under Trump, the idea of U.S. leadership has indeed been remade — but from authority to domination, from persuasion to bullying, from the nurturing of alliances to the wrecking of them.

It’s also how the Trump maladministration approaches U. S. History, but some people are fighting back for truth, justice, and the American way.

Rick Strom finds himself sadly not taken aback by the racism and bigotry which, as far as I cant tell, is the beating heart of MAGA.

Fly the Fiendly Skies 0

At Above the Law, Kathryn Rubino reports that Bill Barr finds that he has to wait in TSA lines just like everyone else. She goes on to say

And let’s be clear about how we got here, because there’s been a predictable attempt to muddy the waters. Republicans own this mess. Full stop. They’re the ones who empowered Trump’s personal police force — ICE — whose abuses helped trigger the standoff that led to this shutdown. They’re also the ones refusing to take up multiple Democratic proposals that would fund TSA and alleviate exactly this kind of crisis. The dysfunction isn’t some abstract inevitability; it’s a policy choice.

War and the Mongers of War 0

Steve M. argues that the Trump maladministration’s war on Iran is all about the mean for the sake of mean. Here’s a bit of his article:

For the Republican voter base, the war doesn’t need a purpose. Owning the enemy is purpose enough. The GOP will never make its voters safer, healthier, more economically secure, or more able to obtain employment, but it will talk about enemies incessantly, and let the base revel in how it’s tormenting those enemies.

The Injustice League of America 0

    It is right and proper to prosecute a person who violates a just law.
    It is wrong to persecute persons just for being who they are.
    Yet Trump maladministration spurns the first, embraces the second.
    This methinks is the very definition of the rule of flaw.

American Exceptionalism 0

Richard French, in a letter to the editor of the Las Vegas Sun, makes a convincing case that, if such a thing ever were, it ain’t no more. He argues that, under the Trump maladministration,

. . . .the U.S. is retreating from the values it once claimed as its moral core.
