I hope it is obvious that all decisions made by this evidently senile man will be easy to reverse or refute later, when sane people are in charge. (The holiday week was last week. It is now mid Tuesday of the following week.) All of these nonsensical statements are not policy; they are evidence.

I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 — for 35 days — before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed.

Good God. This is extortion. The Treasury Secretary says on national TV that unless you accept Trump as your King, there will be no more paychecks. How the hell much more evidence to Republican voters need?

The Antifa 125th Regiment, "The Kentucky Anarchists United" is preparing to come to Portland's defense, riding Iranian drones into enemy territory. Col. B. Arnold VI is commanding from the rear, because he is afraid of flying. And bullets. Thank you, Ice Barbie, for bringing this to our attention.

I was just notified from inside Fort Meade that Trump has completely closed the military journalism department overnight. Completely dismantled it. No more news coming out of any branch of the military.
This is a very major step in his takeover.
