Why the United States will never leave Yemen

“At least 10,000 people have been killed in the conflict, and seven million are in dire need of food assistance.  The US began supporting the Saudi-led coalition through a decision by then-US President Barack Obama, who cited the Authorisation for Use of Military Force (AUMF) to justify US involvement.  Since taking office, President Donald Trump has done the same.”

Can Congress stop Trump from supporting Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen?

“In 2015, President Barack Obama supported Saudi Arabia’s war effort in Yemen, and President Donald Trump has continued the mission. The fight for control of Yemen shows no sign of stopping. The war has killed thousands of civilians, caused widespread food shortages and triggered a cholera epidemic. Yemenis have been plunged into the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. In its drive to destroy rebel targets, the Saudi-led coalition has struck hospitals, schools and marketplaces in scores of well-documented attacks.”

Mattis, Tillerson Want Blank Check to Wage Illegal War

“The practice of using questionable legal logic to justify military operations is not unique to the Trump administration. In fact, our last president engaged in similar maneuvers.  Barack Obama rationalized his use of military force in several countries with reference to the 2001 AUMF, as well as to a second AUMF issued in 2002.  The 2002 AUMF was granted to Bush by Congress specifically to remove Saddam Hussein from Iraq. That license ended once that purpose was accomplished.”

Students Love Trump’s Tax Plan When They Think It Came From Bernie

“Students who said they were disappointed with President Trump’s tax plan changed their tune on the actual details after being told they were ideas from Sen. Bernie Sanders. The students were all for small business tax cuts when told it was a policy being pushed by the former Democrat presidential candidate. One female student even mentioned her family’s small business as a likely beneficiary.”

Big-Spending Republicans Seek Tax Hikes on Blue States

“If your income is between $100,000 and $200,000, for example, those extra taxes may represent what you would have saved for your child’s college tuition, meaning you’ll have to borrow it instead. Or, it might mean the difference between hiring that extra employee to grow your small business.  It’s precisely these people, who are by no means rich, who will bear the brunt of the GOP’s politically-motivated tax redistribution. And it just so happens that policies like this one further insulate the very richest 1 percent from the competition represented by upwardly mobile 10 percenters, many of whom work seven days a week to rise out of paycheck-to-paycheck, wage-earner status.”

Trick or Treat: Is Trump a Blessing or a Curse to the Deep State?

“Trump has done nothing to wrest control of the government from the Deep State, that shadowy elite group of powerbrokers and corporations who call the shots in Washington.  Trump has done nothing to prevent the government from continuing to plunder and steal from the American taxpayer. In fact, his administration has paved the way for even more theft in the form of civil asset forfeiture.  Trump has failed to end the government’s endless wars. To the contrary, he has fallen in line with the military industrial complex.  Most of all, Trump has proven to be as deaf, dumb and blind as every president before him when it comes to the plight of the citizenry.”

Trumps Extends Official JFK Cover-Up For Another 50 Years

“I believe that the CIA, as part of its deal with Trump, will order its assets in Congress to cease and desist with respect to that investigation. In my opinion, that’s the price the CIA had to pay in return for its continued cover-up of its U.S. regime-change operation in November 1963.”

Donald Trump didn’t create presidential dictatorship — he inherited it

“Violating the Constitution is practically the job description for modern presidents. It was George W. Bush’s White House, not Trump, that asserted a ‘commander-in-chief override’ entitling presidents to ignore the law and the Bill of Rights. Congress utterly failed to thwart that outrageous claim.  Presidents have amassed vast authority because they are judged on their rhetoric and purported goals, not on their constitutional fidelity.”

Trump Has Killed More Civilians in 9 Months Than Obama Did in 8 Years

“President Trump has been in office for just 9 months, and he has already surpassed Obama’s murderous record with estimated numbers as high as 4,500 civilian deaths.  Trump made headlines in December 2015, when he declared that if elected, he would not only kill members of ISIS—he would also ‘take out their families.’ He is following through on that promise, according to a report from Steven Feldstein, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State.”
