"They're allowed to kill our people. They're allowed to torture and maim our people. They're allowed to use roadside bombs and blow up our people. And we're not allowed to touch their cultural sites? It doesn't work that way," Trump said.

He can make this threat against "their" culture with no clue about the upping of the ante the threat represents because he has never considered any other cultural things besides the inside of a hotel or the green of a golf course.

The world must be shaking. America now explicitly threatens to destroy a nation's culture?

How can we think to retain any allies we still have if they must live in fear that if they have something Uncle Sam wants, he will take his Big Stick out and break your statues, raze your churches and mosques, and trash your parks till you give it up?

Someone must take the reins of this tiger away from Donald Trump. I certainly am hoping that some general will take it in his head that this game of Chicken Trump is playing must be stopped, indeed, short-circuited.

Impeachment? Merely a political exercise, unless the Obstruction evidence continues to mount. Article 25? Impossible, enough of the Cabinet are Trumpistas.

No, I'm afraid we need someone in command to take the President under arrest and make sure he was held, on grounds that his continuance in office has created an escalating risk for disastrous wars.

Maybe it will happen when Trump makes his next unvetted escalation order. His ability to use nuclear weapons must be removed from him.

Hold Pence and McConnell too. Pelosi-- on probation.

My name is William Perkins Homans the third, but probably more people know me as the bluesman (and artist) Watermelon Slim.

I've been in the fight against war, fascism, injustice and inhumanity for 47 years. I was at MayDay, 1971, (more...)
