The head of the pentagon doesn't know how to use a group chat even when he's sober, our Commander-in-Chief is either sleeping or fighting Seth Meyers, and a grocery clerk is fighting terrorism when he's not at a keg party.

If our enemies attack us now, we're in very big trouble.

I pray for a Dem president who gets accused by the GOP of corruption for some concocted bullshit and simply responds "Seriously? Go fuck yourselves."

If Congress has not appropriated these funds (it hasn't) the Anti-Deficiency Act makes it illegal to accept private donations to offset a funding lapse. ONLY Congress has the power of the purse. Not POTUS. Not Anonymous LLC. Every story here too should put "illegal" in the headline. Every one.

I don't understand how anyone can make the case that we still have constitutional government at this point. The president is collecting revenue *AND* spending money without Congressional authorization, refusing to spend money that Congress appropriated, disobeying whatever laws he feels like.

The complete demolition of the East Wing has occurred in days.  

Hundreds of thousands are without work and pay, millions are threatened to have food assistance cut off—and the President is bulldozing the White House to build a $300 million ballroom for himself.

Americans will not forget.
