First the National Security State Surged Baghdad, now it is Surging Portland and Seattle For those of us old enough to remember George W. Bush's Iraq War, the use of the word "surge" to describe Federal agents sent into Democratic cities to break heads chills the soul.

Trump's "WMD" Scandal? Was the Charge of "Imminent" Soleimani Attack Just Made Up? The Trump administration's claims that it assassinated Gen. Qasem Soleimani because he posed an imminent threat to American lives and was coming to Baghdad to launch an immediate attack on the US embassy there have fallen apart.

Trump's Ukraine Ask was Criminal; but it Was SCOTUS' Citizens United that Invited Foreign Interference in US Elections The Republican-majority Supreme Court has gutted campaign finance law and has allowed essentially anonymous money to flood into campaigns. The possibilities for foreign interference in US elections is a much bigger phenomenon than simply this sort of organized-crime style arm twisting by a president.

A Wroth Mueller Comes for Nancy Pelosi: Rashida Tlaib is Right When Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) colorfully called for us to "impeach the" mofo, Pelosi called her in and told her to stick to "representing her district." Mueller knows that however big a disaster an impeachment of Trump might be for American politics, letting him continue in office is far more dangerous. Mueller spent his life putting criminals behind bars, and he knows that Trump is a criminal who has committed criminal acts.

Bribery & High Crimes and Misdemeanors: Did Trump finally go Full Impeachable in Ukraine Calls? Trump may have broken two laws if the reporting on this incident is correct so far. One was to offer Zelensky a bribe, which is explicit constitutional grounds for impeachment. The other was to solicit campaign contribution of sorts from a foreign national. Surely that would fall under "high crimes and misdemeanors."

No, Trump's Withdrawal from Syria is not Like Obama Leaving Iraq Trump makes the Mad Hatter look like the sanest, soberest person in the world. He has single-handedly started back up the Syrian civil war. In essence, Trump is playing the role in Syria that ISIL played in Iraq, of saboteur.

If Giuliani's right Trump lied about Porn Star Hush Money, why believe him on Iran? A president who serially lies is a particular problem for foreign policy. Trump is on the verge of pulling out of the 2015 Iran Deal, in part on the grounds provided by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in his stunt retailing old intelligence before 2003 which he attempted to portray as relevant to 2018. Trump appears to have bought the lie, what with being truth-challenged and all.

This Right-Wing U.S. Supreme Court Is the New King George III The Trump Supreme Court self-evidently does not believe in these principles of liberty and pursuit of happiness on which the United States was founded. The justices hold that we have no right to personal autonomy or bodily privacy and liberty.

White al-Qaeda, Trump and Economic Terrorism against El Paso The people of El Paso also understand something most outsiders do not. Both Trump's rhetoric and the shooter's murders target El Paso's economy in classic terrorist style. Singling out and demonizing an ethnic group is the first step toward attempting to destroy them.

Israeli Snipers Kill 4, wound 207 as 40,000 Palestinians March Peacefully in Gaza for Right to Return Despite occasional UN condemnation of the Israeli blockade on Palestinian civilians (which is illegal in international law, especially given that Israel is still the Occupying Power in Gaza), the world has turned a blind eye to this ongoing Israeli atrocity. That the world would remain silent about these criminal tactics is unimaginable.
