He’s confirming what we already knew: “Trump told New York Times reporters … that as commander-in-chief, he has only one limit on his power: ‘My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.’ He claimed he gets to determine what is legal under international law, and seemed to stretch that authority to domestic affairs, too.” 🤬

"the driver weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents"

My first thought was surely they must know that no-one is going to believe that in this week of all weeks.

But then I remembered that I read somewhere that it's an intentional part of fascism that the lies actually *should* be completely obvious lies and unbelievable.

Can't remember the reason for it, but it sure fits the reality.
