Reluctantly I have concluded that President Trump is a serious threat to US national security. He is refusing to protect vital US interests from active Russian attacks. It is apparent that he is for some unknown reason under the sway of Mr Putin.

I don’t believe Trump will run for President again in 2024. The GOP strong will eat him beginning on 21 Jan 2021. His rabid base will slowly fall away. He’ll be mired in lawsuits and debt. He’s erratic and stupid. Biden/Harris will cool off the country.

Really sad to see Flynn turn into a danger to our democracy. His thinking is cruel and demented. He has been swallowed by darkness.

@GenFlynn Describing his trip to Auschwitz, Mike Flynn blames the Jews for being exterminated in WWII because there were “thousands of them and not many guards” and the Jews willingly went along with the Nazis: “OK here’s my child and got on the train.” Someone put this Nazi in prison.👇

Really excellent speech on the Ukraine crisis by President Biden. Clear. Short. Strong deterrent message on NATO power. Glad he spoke directly to the Russian people. Also relieved that Biden did not stay for Q&A which might have muddled issue.

It appears at first glance that Trump is provocatively taunting the Iranians and implying we did hack and wreck their missile launch. It appears he used a classified photo to make this implied claim. Incredible.

If the Russians actually use chemical weapons against the Ukrainian civilian population it would produce catastrophic lethality. Chemical munitions not effective against equipped US troops. Terrible impact on civilians. Predict we would enter the war.

This Trump language is incredibly provocative and dangerous. This is an incitement to violence. Trump misreads law enforcement and the US Armed Forces. They are non-political and law based institutions. Swear to support the Constitution not a person.

Trump to Breitbart on how the left plays tough: "I have the support of the police, the support of the military, the support of the Bikers for Trump — I have the tough people, but they don’t play it tough — until they go to a certain point and then it would be very bad, very bad."
