This could give Trump his opening to go for the Insurrection Act and Martial Law.
He's desperate and his falling in the polls and can't escape the economy or the Epstein Scandal.

So JB will post about this but not Transgender Day of Remembrance when 58 known trans people lost their lives over the past year. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with him?
The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, DC today is a horrible tragedy. We must all condemn this kind of unacceptable violence.
MK and I are praying for the victims, their families, and all of our service members who sign up to serve our country.

This picture makes me want to vomit.
"President Donald Trump has argued with the architect he handpicked to design a White House ballroom over the size of the project, reflecting a conflict between architectural norms and Trump’s grandiose aesthetic." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump wants a bigger White House ballroom. His architect disagrees.
The president and James McCrery had argued in recent weeks over the project’s size, with Trump pushing him to expand the ballroom.

So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this.
And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either.
We're all agree on that, right?

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.
