No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion

I think so, yes. The biggest thing about protesting en mass like we are is that it reminds people that we aren’t 1939 Germany. There’s a large, organized social and political resistance to this regime, and the message is clear: We aren’t going to sleepwalk into a dictatorship.

Iran worries me too. I said this on twitter earlier, but moving that many strategic bombers into the region is kind of like dropping your dick on the table and declaring victory. If Iran doesn’t play ball, there’s no easy way for the Trump administration to save face without attacking. It’s bad.
