Why is Trump trying to bury - forever - the final report about his theft of classified documents?

Trump's masked thugs are massively unpopular. But does public opinion matter anymore?

Al Pacino & Stephen Graham are two of the most intense actors I’ve ever seen. Graham, who’s taken home every award under the sun for Adolescence, absolutely holds his own with Pacino throughout multiple scenes in The Irishman. I’ve loved this scene from the first moment I saw it.

Definitely delicious that the U.S. can prosecute foreign heads of state for their official acts in American courts but the U.S. president is presumptively immune from prosecution for his official acts. Good case study in legal realism.

I’m not a Venezuela expert so I’ll leave that to folks who actually are like my @AtlanticCouncil friend and colleague @jmarczak. But I do know about energy markets and U.S. foreign policy. Venezuelan oil reserves are significant, 17-18% of world total, but its supply is at best

It's ok to have mixed feelings today. Pride in our military. Hope for a Venezuela free from Maduro. Concern about tenuous legal authority and fraying constitutional safeguards. Anxiety about what comes next on the ground, in Venezuela and at home.

Absolutely! You wouldn't want "academics and elites" who have actually studied a subject to outweigh the off-the-cuff opinions of village idiots. This is how we're seeing the resurgence of measles, and the widespread belief in almost non-existent vote fraud, among many other
