There are so many outrageous, unimaginable terrible things happening on a daily basis - here is Armitage addressing the death of legal precedent and what it means.  I put up a lot of Armitage these days - his educated take on the state of the world and illumination of ways to fight back to protect ourselves - is important.  

His main take, that the Roberts Court and Heritage Foundation bulldozing our rights and freedoms by overturning legal precedent, shows us that the new precedents they are setting are not worth the paper they are written on as they too can be overturned and ignored.

Welcome to the wild wild west.

Trump Unwell.. Unfit and Dangerous

 https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/dr-john-gartner-im-predicting-that

This is relevant in the context of the recent reported phone call with Netanyahoo where Trump was told he needs to strike Iran again.  Netanyahoo will not be satisfied until Iran is "totally obliterated" and Trump seems to enjoy murdering people and is all too happy to do Bibi's bidding.

With polling numbers in the gutter and after a return from China where he accomplished nothing - Trump is showing he is eager to break something else.  Will he stop with Iran?  Or turn his beady eyes to Cuba since his sanctions have not immiserated the people enough?
