  • AFAIK, It’s typical of photos from that time - 2016-2020. And yeah, he’s real, and a real problem. But really only the figurehead at the top of the iceberg.

    Also regards OP’s post, loss of strength, and dexterity of one’s hands correlates with age, loss of strength, and decline of cognitive function in the elderly. Perhaps you’ve experienced shaking hands with someone who is in their 70s, 80s. Compare that to someone in their 20s, 30s. It’s been my experience which correlates with what I’ve been taught about the effects of aging globally, that those who are older compensate with a rigid/ stiff strength where they have loss of neural feedback. This doesn’t just effect motor function, it also demonstrates an effect on cognitive function.













  • This IS the point. We The People have to force them to do the right thing, a.k.a. our Right to Petition our representatives for a redress of our grievances. Get on the phone, email, snail mail, text message, and don’t let up.

    "Why it matters: Impeachment has been a fraught subject for Democrats this year, with Jeffries acknowledging that Republican control of both chambers of Congress makes any impeachment effort virtually dead on arrival.

    "Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that's the case," Jeffries said at a press conference Monday.
    "Donald Trump will order them not to do it," he added."
    

    I always prefer to let others make their own decisions, rather than pre-guessing them. Let the GOPers have the opportunity to defend their lack of prosecution of war crimes. And then the DEMs can make a talking point of that GOP decision.



  • Can anyone confirm, were these illegal deployments? That is to say, as there was no actual local emergency to which the National Guard could legally be deployed, is it therefore the case that these orders for deployment were illegal? National Guard members are also guided by the code of military justice, and expected to not comply with illegal orders, I think. So as the head of the military, Trump gave illegal orders, which resulted in the death of at least one National Guard member, so Trump is responsible for the injury and death of at least one. Regardless of whether this is legally the case, I think it’s important to hammer the message that this death, and indeed many others as well, is Donald J. Trump’s responsibility. We should never let him weasel out of this.
