It would be a miracle if his communication had not been intercepted by Russia, Iran, North Korea, China, etc. After this 2nd Signal gate, it's like an open invitation to foreign intelligence to intercept his communication.

Saying they are ignorant is charitable. They might have knowingly done this so it's easier for Russians to take the data they want. Any evidence to suggest otherwise? I haven't seen any.

Many products sold in the U.S. are made in El Salvador. In response to the El Salvador president’s statements today, we’re calling for an immediate boycott of all Salvadoran-made goods. Please help by listing any products or brands made in El Salvador in the comments below.

Someone I know had an interview for his green card application. He was asked if he had ever attempted to subvert the government. Trump would have flunked the interview.

Farm families earn more than non-farm families. Farm families are wealthier than non-farm families. If Americans are to pay high tariffs to bring back toaster-making jobs, farmers should bear their share of the sacrifice. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Trump can perhaps still fool some people, but fooling most people all the time is impossible. Even in severely censored China, more people are waking up to the reality of Xi everyday. I believe the same is happening to trump here.

The administration is creating a chilling effect of drying out private sponsorships on top of defunding NPR and PBS, which as I understand receive little public funding. I hope more corporations will step up sponsoring these two public media and they will be fully independent voices of the people.

A plausible explanation is he is attempting to extract maximum benefits for his business with all the posturing and threats. He will likely have a private meeting with Xi, the same style as his meeting with Putin.

The most crucial thing going forward is to find an effective way to deal with the "flooding the zone with shit" strategy. Journalists and media outlets need to reflect on their role in making the said strategy work when they thought they were being impartial and adhering to journalistic principles.
