@HistoPol @kim_harding and the fifth column - shoot Bezos, Musk and the weird dude in Hawaii and they'll haul their horns in. I don't suffer fascism without a violent response.

If it were up to me I'd take every Trump appointee and give them the chance to denounce him and explain their allegiance to Russia or take a bullet - same for the #GOP members who celebrated the 4th of July in Moscow - these are traitors, end of story.

Pardon me for not looking to the exact #GOP jerques who got us on this situation for 'best practices'

@ThomHartmann ,an intelligent progressive, has often said that intelligently placed #tariffs & considered trade protections have a history of success in the US & countries worldwide

What #Trump is doing is Not That. He's tanking the market to enable #Billionaires to sweep up sweet deals & create panic so he can declare #MartialLaw

#Solidarity will be key. Reagan is no hero
