    No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

    Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

    The Trumper obsession with Harvard is a cringe-inducing drama around status envy.

    This is extrajudicial execution, without any clear threat to the US, no authorization from Congress, and far beyond even Article II. The military is not the president's personal hit squad.
    Or wasn't, until now.

    None of this is correct. Good thing we have a steady hand on "nuclear"

    Senior officers of the United States military have an obligation to speak up and be leaders. Where is the Army chief of staff? Will he or others speak truth to the commander in chief and put a stop to the assault on the integrity of his troops? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

    Like many Never Trumpers and other people with a public profile, I have been on the receiving end of death threats for years just for speaking my mind.
    No one in America should risk being killed for exercising their right to speak, no matter how despicable you think their views might be.

    The documents Trump cited don't even make his case - and actually refute much of it. But that didn'tg matter. No foreign regime, no spies, no saboteurs have yet matched the damage that America’s own president just did tonight to faith in U.S. elections.

    She doesn't wanna be picked up, or held, or hugged, unless she decides that she's feeling needy and then she walks over my desk and plops 12 pounds of chonk into my arms and meows with irritation if I move even a little

    You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.

    In any other administration (including Trump's first one), someone in the Pentagon would have said: "Mr. President, you cannot order the military to murder a bunch of people on a boat on the high seas."
    Designating them "narco-terrorists" isn't a thing that lets you do that.
