Breaking: President declares war on his own country.
Things are getting dangerous out here. Day by day, Gov. Pritzker sounds the alarm a little more loudly and a little more clearly.
Maybe for the cheap seats, I guess, who don’t understand how dangerous these times are for democracy?
To Donald Trump:
Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities.
Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US.
Stop attacking the 1st Amendment.
Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Would you turn the key for a man with these obvious mental infirmities?
The Bulwark coined the phrase:
Fat, disoriented Elvis
Which I have added as a category named simply “Disoriented Elvis”.
Personally, I am particularly interested in hearing thoughts related to the speech posing a moral challenge to America’s military leadership.
Open thread.
Updated to say that I have temporarily changed the tag to Disoriented Orange Satan until we can come up with the correct words to follow “Disoriented”.
