Trump And His Generals: The Cost Of Chaos/Peter Bergen

I know.  When you think of the United States, you automatically think of high ideals.  But especially when I think of Donald Trump and JD Vance, nothing could be further from the truth.  Especially when they meet Volodmyr Zelenskyy, president of Ukraine.  These cretins should be out.

Oh, if dimwittery is your style, Trump placed 25 percent on Canada and Mexico. (then changed his mind - twice!) That should be your 'style'.

It's only been a  month now, but Trump's got his dirty fingers over everything already.  If you are (or have been) a government employee, YOU may have seen Donald's hands in the cookie jar.  Go to https://www.ap.org/contact-us/news-tips/ , or https://www.theguardian.com/help/ng-interactive/2017/mar/17/contact-the-guardian-securely, then go to SecureDrop, and follow the instructions.  I can't absolutely guarantee your privacy, or but the Tor network is damn good.  There are two avenues:  1) AP  or 2) The Guardian.  Good luck.

If you aren't a government employee, but you know someone who is, gently nudge him/her to do the right thing.  Don't worry if she/he initially says no.  Trump'll do something to screw up, and you will have done something to plant a seed.

If neither of these is true, you can still advance this cause.  If you have a Republican or squishy Democrat as your member of Congress, get on the phone and tell them you won't put up with this BS any more.  Tell them that you SUPPORT transgender people. Period.

BTW, especially if you are a newbie, or if you've been away for awhile from white/gray/black hat stuff, it makes a GREAT deal of sense to do a refresher course online.
