To be “obscene” is to be “repulsive; deeply offensive to morality or decency.” [FN1] Hours after U.S. military forces attacked Venezuela, trump explained oil production would be improved. This is a distraction to add to #47's decoration of the Oval Office as tasteless as 1/7

the bordello where he met his third wife, demolition has smashed the East wing, and immunity SCOTUS conferred on trump (of a type the Framers would have found shameful. Without even bothering to pay lip service to statutes [FN2] that themselves are workarounds of 2/7

the pesky requirements for declarations of war in The Constitution, [FN3] trump’s order to attack Venezuela violates the UN Charter [FN4] to which we are a signatory. [FN5] That makes it law. [FN6] And trump’s talk of “running” Venezuela is vile. 3/7

trump’s bankrupted casinos, can’t tell fecal matter from condensed sauce of Malus domestica, & those big oil companies he bragged about might be charted here, but stock is owned by people or entities that have anonymity thanks to Citizens United. Media won’t squawk. Their 4/7

billionaires won’t tolerate news adverse to their interests. Ppl who died in this naked act of aggression can be added to a list that began w/little girls dead as a result of Epstein & trump. This is repulsive and deeply offensive to morality and decency. Release the files. 5/7
