Try playing a game, any game without any rules. Of course, it's not possible! Try again, play a game where your opponent can make up new rules and change the rules as the game goes on. It doesn't work either does it? So, you can't have a nation without rules, nor can you have a nation where people are able to enjoy freedoms without rules that apply to and constrain everyone equally. If anyone gets to change the rules as they go along then no one can have any faith that there are any rules that cannot be changed or that must apply to everyone equally and not just exempt favorites/monied/politically connected.
To have a free nation people must have faith and trust in the laws that create and enshrine their freedoms, else the law cannot be trusted and if not trusted it cannot work.
Trump is ruining the public's faith and trust in the very institutions we need to protect our freedoms and rights. The costs of the decay of trust will be felt incrementally from here on out.

Rep. Max Rose On The Importance Of Diplomacy Throughout History | All In...
Of course Trump wants escalation, that's the reason he did it, he wants a war in the hopes that it will turn the public away from his impeachment. Any troops that die on account of this action will have died for the selfish purposes of our cowardly President Trump. The man who puts his own skin above the interests of our country, Constitution and even his own party.
If you are a Trump supporter all I can say is, enjoy your bill of rights freedoms and rights for the short time you're still going to have them. Because when the dictator takes over, none of your concerns will matter and they will probably get you imprisoned at best. Freedom of speech, religion and the right to privacy will be the first rights to go.

'Pouring Gasoline On A Smoldering Fire,' Says Admiral | Morning Joe | MSNBC
It is not a good time to "pour gasoline on a smoldering fire"; at a time after we have weakened our allies ability to trust us and to have alienated former allies. We won't get much help from the Kurds, for instance, and other foreign countries will demand larger payments for what help they might give, then only provide half hearted help on account of Trump's erratic performances. Many are already driven into the arms of Putin, which is exactly what Putin planned to happen by helping rump become President, then giving him secret instructions, no "back channel" needed since Trump is willing to meet with Putin publicly while keeping the matters discussed secret. Meanwhile Trump tears the nation apart by fomenting and encouraging racist, white supremacists and nazis and extreme partisanship. It will be remarkable indeed if the nation can survive so many slings and arrows coming from the Commander in Chief.

The torture program was needed to create terrorists who were involved in 911, because it was a false flag attack. Look at the evidence and you will see that 911 contains too many inexplicable anomalies to be true. Enough said, those who do not want to see the truth or are too afraid to even think of it, are excused from the exercise, save to know that as the numbers of such people grow, the notions of freedom and self governance diminish.

Okay, so now we know that Trump lied again and his defenders were wrong!

Bernie Sanders Raises $34.5M In Fourth Quarter | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Bloomberg will not stop spending money to buy his way into office. As long as it seems that a few more dollars might do it, he'll spend, spend, spend, after all he has billions more money than he needs for several lifetimes. His next step will probably be to buy big and bigger endorsements in the hope that they may put him over. But, people aren't going for buyouts/big money. If candidates spend money they've been able to raise, that will be respected, but candidates who simply reach into their own deep pockets to spend big bucks with "Don Draper" types to write a bunch of slick ads with nothing behind them but hot air and vivid imaginings, well, people don't respect that any more.

The White House 1/1/20 | Breaking Trump News Today January 1, 2020
Aha, it isn't religious devotion that drives evangelicals to Trump, it's a shared condition of too much salt in the diet that's decreasing their brain function. Do a youtube search for: "too much salt" and watch the results. Trump is probably living in a world of wild and vivid hallucinations, many of which probably involve his beloved racist father. If I had to venture a guess, I'd think that Trump believes his father is watching, if not directing, his every move. "Conceal your racism and keep knocking'em down son!" His life and Presidency has been a dreamscape where everything wrong, no matter how stupid or bad, has worked for him and continues to do so.

New York Times reports internal White House opposition to Ukraine aid fr...
What??? He's disagreeing with his own advisers who are telling him that what he's doing is not legal, and that means he knew he was breaking the law and, instead of trying to correct matters he has them hide the evidence.
Evangelicals etc., are going to get what they want from Trump and they're going to get what they don't want that's going to make what they're getting useless. They are going to exchange gay marriages and abortions for their right of freedom of speech and religion as well as property rights, the rule of law and every other benefit the U.S. Constitution provides. If things continue to roll on this way we're going to lose everything Americans have fought for, for over 200 years.

So Trump and his staff all knew what was being done was illegal! Which, of course, explains all attempts to conceal it and Trumps effort to try to keep his fingerprints off of it as much as possible.

Inside The Biggest 2020 Advertising War Against Trump | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Democratic candidates need not worry about shrinking fundraising results, it's likely due to the Bloomberg media curtain blocking fundraising messages. Just keep on keeping on doing the jobs that need to get done, keep appearing and speaking and let the Bloomberg Media Curtain work for you not you against it. It's political judo, use the force of the opponents against themselves.

Sounds good that a "good guy with a gun, etc.," was able to respond and save lives, unfortunately this cannot be expected to end well as "armed crusaders" begin to appear mistakes are sure to happen. So, although this one went well, I'm not sure that the next one will.

How Putin and Trump's relationship developed over the years
Nixon too was strong and powerful in his denials.
Hopefully Justice Roberts will not want to have himself and the Courts legacy stained and tarnished by him presiding, compacently, over a sham Senate trial. He knows what a real trial is and how to impanel a real, impartial jury. He can use his threat to withdraw to force a change how the Senate holds any trial, since they cannot go forward without him, nor can they change the rules to write him out. Thus the Senate might be forced to impanel a special jury and commit to be bound by its findings. Just a thought.

Child Porn Charges For Donald Trump-Tied Mueller Witness Raise Questions | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Question: Are Evangelicals moral or amoral? I would think that a moral group would have pulled away from Trump much sooner, so it appears to me that Evangelicals are amoral people, they appear to support cheating, lying and bullying among other things, and they support Russia, China and N. Korea over the United States of America, even though those countries are not religious freedom purveyors and would imprison them if they were to take over. While nazi treatment of Russians during WWII was a Russian Holocaust involving rape, pillage and indiscriminate murders, means they would be unlikely to enjoy freedom of speech, less life for very long at the hands of Putin. I'd sure like to be there when white supremacists try to sell their wares to a Chinese audience, I doubt they'd survive very long at all. They are wrecking the only country on earth where they can safely peddle their crap! How stupid is that?
We are a divided nation because the President keeps committing crimes, appointing criminals and ne'er do wells to high office and tells us thousands of lies, and although the President keeps pissing in our faces and telling us it's rain, 40% of us are comfortable with that, profess they are religious people and that Trump is doing nothing wrong. here's a small sample:
