If Obama or Biden had said this, it would be rightfully understood as them arrogating dictatorial authority to themselves, it would be the only thing anyone in the media or opposition would talk about for a year, and it would probably end their presidency. For Trump, it’s literally just Tuesday.

🚨BREAKING: Trump just announced at his cabinet meeting that they'll seek the death penalty for anyone killing someone in the Capitol building.
Families of the police officers who died at the Jan 6 insurrection and saw their murderers walking free would like to have a word.

So will Utah obey, or will it go the way of lawless legislatures like Ohio and Alabama when ordered to redraw maps? Tired of the GOP not obeying the law.

Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s local police is unprecedented. “The last person who asserted the authority to use military personnel for routine law enforcement anywhere in the country for any reason was King George,” a legal scholar said.

Whenever I think about Trump supporters and wonder, "How could they be that stupid?" I remember this and recall, yes, easily, they *can* be that stupid.

I’m convinced Trump could announce he’s bringing back human sacrifice to assure the harvest and the Times headline would deem it “unconventional plan for farmers.”
