Important observations from Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman:

If we had a functioning democracy, this would be 25th Amendment time. . . He shouldn't have any authority on matters of state violence when this is the kind of mood he's in.

– Paul Krugman, who posts “ I’m scared”

• Anita Thadani: "Krugman and HCR are on this for America, what can the rest of us do? Do you have republican reps on congress? Write call. This is reality."
• REEDA WARNER: "His is a very terrifying time. I have been thinking the exact same thing. God bless us all."
• Lawrence Gordon: "It is alarming and this unhinged president is becoming increasingly more dangerous to us and the world."
• Scott: "Anyone see 'The Dead Zone' with Martin Sheen as the frickin' INSANE President??!! Read the book? No no no no no!"
• Dimitri Barua: "And this was before his latest unhinged post..."

Saying glory be to God before you unleash violence, that is not what used to be the American way.

Additional Thoughts

1. "Oh my aching ass! 'Terrifying'? Really? Put on your big Man Pants and then Shut. Up. 'Terrified' is childish chickenshit. The APPROPRIATE perspective is, 'Mad as Hell and Getting Busy Doing Something Positive About Fixing It'."
2. "This is (unfortunately) an apt title for Pete Hegseth today: Secretary of War Crimes. :-("
