Can you post a link Brian? If he really is doing that, it needs to be shared far and wide to show just how dangerous the current situation is, because if he really thinks that, mentally, he has no capability to tell real from fiction.

Never mind, a quick search found more links than I thought possible.
That this man decides if nuclear warheads get launched is beyond frightening.

Greg Stillson. They never cast the character remotely close in either version of The Dead Zone, but when I read it in the 80's, I pictured Sam Kinison - and now I can't see anyone other than Trump.

That isn't quite what SCOTUS ruled.
The Supreme Court decision on Trump vs the United States ruled that the President had no immunity from unofficial acts, and for official acts it stated there was an absolute immunity from criminal prosecution when acting within the sphere of the president's core-constitutional powers, and a presumptive immunity from criminal prosecution when acting in non-core areas, but not necessarily an absolute immunity -- the official opinion of the court was that they did not need to rule on whether the immunity was absolute or only presumptive for non-core in the case of the ruling.

That ruling is what made Bill Barr's testimony unable to be used, the testimony where Trump's team told him to announce election fraud and that they would "find it". That's what counts as an "official act" apparently.

What made Barr's testimony unable to be used was that all court cases about Trump's role in the election were halted and Jack Smith was sent to find other employment.

Yes, Musk’s tweets yesterday were very interesting. No idea where this may lead because neither is fully predictable, other than to take the worst possible route in any set of options.

And Trump appointee Hegseth has decided to change the name of the Navy ship named after LGB icon Harvey Milk. During Pride month which, reports say, is intentional.
Disgusting move and from what I hear, bad luck in Navy lore to change a ship's name.
They just don't stop.

Meanwhile, enrollment in the military is up and has exceeded expectations for the year, so ...Maybe it's time to focus on what to stand for rather than just what to counter.
