Trump's lies cost lives - from Vaccines to Climate to USAID to War - potentially millions. Read "THE MURDEROUS REGIME." theinflectionzonewithmarkgreen.substack.com/p/a-murderou...
Remember when Nixon tried to convince NVietnam that he was crazy enough to use nucs? Trump is actually a Mad King.
BREAKING: Dec. 8, 1941. "Japan demands that FDR now negotiate an end to hostilities."
Did that happen? Nor will Iran -- w/Supreme Leader/wife/cabinet all killed -- now begin talks with a strutting Trump.
Behind scenes, #47 looking for a TACO to declare a win and move on. Oops.
So after scuttling Obama's nuclear deal w/Iran, Donald's & Jared's bank-roller MBS was a decisive voice to attack an Iran not close to enriched bomb nor capable of attacking U. S.
Other voice from grave gave a push -- Epstein.
Bombing doesn't change regimes, troops do -- WWII & D-Day.
Iran? Job growth? ICE brutality?
The #1 story - for first time since 1789 - is as Schumer explains: WAS PRESIDENT PART OF A PEDOPHILE RING RAPING CHILDREN?
Since issue has gone public in @NYTimes, NPR, MSNOW, it will now be discussed & answered. The coverup is over. Who'll tell Bondi/Blanche?
See how Trump tried to turn his SOTU into a distortion field confusing a "Golden Age" for "Orange Rage":

Why realtors-as-diplomats is a bad idea:
Witkoff says Putin always "straight with me." Oh, does VP admit killing Navalny, throwing critics out windows & causing deaths of one million people in the war he launched on Ukraine...or helping Trump in 2016/2020/2024?
Does Vlad laugh after every meeting?
Will SCOTUS go to SOTU?
Since Trump'll slyly or bluntly insult Roberts/Gorsuch/Barrett if they attend - OR NOT - they will go & smile instead of being cowardly wimps esp since they have the final Supreme word?
Olympians insult Trump by refusing to go - Justices by going. Both get last laugh.
A performatively act unbowed #47 seeks murder-suicide pact w/ U.S. - new also unconsitutional flat tariff, regional M.E. war w/Iran, a delegitimized 3d branch...more TK.
He's more King George than George Washington but even that King finally surrendered.
Time for a W43/Obama presser.
The Word-Warriors:
Mamdani's astonishing rise show how sheer talent - irrespective of identity/race/ideology - can be a political winner.
Here are eight Dems who basically never stumble verbally: Raskin, Warren, Talarico, Crockett, Buttigieg, Osoff, Moore, Schiff.
Sorry, no R comes close.
Drama of Tues SOTU includes these factors:
*will CJ Roberts attend and risk likely in-person denunciation from #47?
*will Dems' "alternative" SOTU attract many Members + attention?
*will Dem responder Guv Spanberger really sit in room looking small after raucus event or speak at the Alter one?
British Monarch undertand Rule-of-Law better than American President:
*King Charles - given no advance news of brother's arrest for Epstein ties - said "the law must take its course."
*King Donald orders his lawyers to cover up his involvment.
Now PedoProtector to run 250th of 1776?
Perverse.
In the spirit of Nancy Pelosi tearing up Trump's 2025 State of the Union address right after he delivered it, take a look at our latest visual substack of THE INFLECTION ZONE:
"Dems, Boycott Trump's SOTU Next Week --
Be Patriots not Props." open.substack.com
Because Donald Trump is a TV host who aspires to be the modern Rod Serling luring us into his Substack distortion field called "The Inflection Zone," here fyi is the first episode.

Lee is venal but I hadn't thought stupid: why would lawful immigrants fear ICE? Mike, why don't you ask Renee Good and Alex Pretti?
Oh.
In future generations, perhaps the biggest con in the cartoon #47 regime will be their analysis that word "Regulation" = Bad & word "Deregulation" = Good.
The evidence? They said so.
FYI, deaths per mile driven fell by 75% over 50 years due to federal auto safety & local highway rules.

Here is today's new Substack: CAN DEMS GO BIG OR GO HOME TO DEFEAT THE NEW-AXIS-OF-EVIL?
Their favorite M.O. is hiding failure w/Scandal Fatigue:
TeamTrump a) raids election ofdfice after going 0-for-60 in claims of 2020 fraud & POTUS sends the fleet toward Iran to back up threats of war.
Nice. Except religious mullahs don't blink much.
2/ Earlier tragedies have launched mass movements - like Bloody Sunday & John Lewis at Selma...also big was Kent State & George Floyd.
The level of response to this state-sanctioned violence will depend on Trump's Houdini skills, MSM saying "Enough!", whether Indivisible/et al can seize the day.
1/ From destruction of East Wing to Trumping Kennedy Center to shootings of Good/Pretti to snatching of Maduro to flooding MN w/3000 ICE officers, Trump M.O. is fait accompli -- Fire, Ready, Aim.
Then when reality bites, backtrack and declare victory.
Will this time be different?
H. L. Mencken, 1920: "The President represents the inner soul of the people. Some day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron."
Trump-Smith and Jordan-Raskin area distillation of the contrasts in Brexit & 2024 election -- reason/hysteria, facts/innuendos.
Per my book about the last election & Nicolle Wallace's opening yesterday, America is at an "Inflection Point."
Is there a majority for Piracy or Democracy? UP to US.
Talk about a performative presidency!
The Supreme Court is about to conclude that Trump's tariffs are unconstitutional since only the House under Article 1 can initiate tax schemes.
This will deprive him of a key lever allowing him to try to be the boss of the world.
Just before Renee Good's murder, her spouse observed that "we have whistles, they have guns."
So Minn.-St. Paul have 1200 police officers for everything yet ICE already has 2000 there and intend to send more.
Overkill much?
As ICE popularity plunges after MN shooting & videos of Latinos being brutalized, Trump has a choice.
Either he reigns in the Miller, Noem gangster language /policies about ICE...or he keeps egging them on so GOP loses next two elections.
What will Mr. Double-Down-Don do?
@/
2/ Thank you John Roberts, Mitch McConnell, James Comey, Judge Cannon, Thune & Johnson for putting 250 years as a Constitutional Republic in extreme danger.
It's now up to millions of progressive patriots voting, marching + a no-apologies #48th POTUS reversing and extirpating Trumpism.
1/ A Gangster Police State
#47 defends ICE murder..threatens to attack Mexico/ Greenland/Colombia..has bombed eight countries..itching to get into Iranian action..steals VZ oil..seeks to destroy Cuba's economy..Fox Host tries to cashier Mark Kelly..DOJ probes FED Powell.
Only 3 years to go.
...and Hegseth is seeking to demote Senator Mark Kelly + the GOP/States' Rights party is federalizing the MN probe of ICE shooting.
POLICE STATE:
Trump defends murdering woman..has tripled ICE budget..suggests increasing DOD by 50%..hints at invoking Insurrection Act..says only his "morality" not law will hold him accountable.
How willS SCOTUS, Congress, Media respond to his open Caesarism until Fall elections?
