"There were long periods in the Trump admin where we had no Sec of Defense. We only had 'acting' officials to dodge oversight. Esper stepped down saying he won't be Trump's 'yes-man'. Esper's not a good guy, so you have to think -- what *wouldn't* he do?"

"Trump is surrounded by Iran war-mongers including rapture fiend Mike Pompeo, who is planning to meet with Netanyahu. Netanyahu is an indicted PM who Israelis have been protesting for twenty weeks. Trump and Netanyahu are both imperiled." -- @gaslitnation https://t.co/zYJZb3xx16
"I'm worried about war in Iran. I'm also worried about arms sales, and if Trump and his cohort are selling them, where they're going. Trump has a long history with illegal arms traders and is tied to the world's most dangerous mobsters." -- @gaslitnation

"Trump has a tremendous amount of debt. While in office, he and Kushner have made illicit foreign deals to pay off that debt. There are no limits to what they will do now. Never forget that this is the mafia." -- @gaslitnation https://t.co/zYJZb3xx16
"Another big concern regarding Trump's new military obsession is what @leahmcelrath calls 'annihilatory rage'. As a narcissistic sociopath, Trump will not be able to handle losing and will lash out in violent, frightening ways." -- @gaslitnation https://t.co/zYJZb3xx16
"Trump has been obsessed with nuclear weapons his entire life. He is a fatalist who believes the world will end in nuclear annihilation. He's said, 'If we have nukes, why not use them?' And he's the only American who can launch a nuke." -- @gaslitnation https://t.co/zYJZb3xx16
"You know how old folks have a bucket list of things they want to do before they die, like 'I wanna go sky-diving' or 'I want to go to Europe'? Launching a nuke may be Trump's bucket list wish. He has 70 days left until he can't do it." -- @gaslitnation https://t.co/zYJZb3xx16
"When Biden gets into office*, Congress needs to pass the bill Ted Lieu proposed preventing any president from having the unilateral ability to launch a nuclear weapon." -- @gaslitnation

Handy guide for Dominic Raab and other Brexiteers, and for anyone keen to replace our EU trade with trade with the rest of the world on WTO terms...


You can't magic away the vast distances involved. Clue: we fly in only 1/192th of our trade compared to the amount that arrives via sea


But even if you invented a teleporter tomorrow, WTO terms are so bad, so stacked against us, that a no-deal Brexit will be a total economic disaster


And while the Brexiteers fantasise, real jobs are being lost, investments are drying up, companies are moving assets to the EU27 or redomiciling. All already happened and happening right now, not in some mythical


Of course, there are many, many myths that Brexiteers perpetuate that are total fiction. You've seen a couple of them already. The thread below busts a whole lot
