Since Congress is not passing any new laws nor enforcing any that they have already passed I wonder what they’ll say when he signs an EO that just dissolves Congress and sends them packing, you know, like with the nation’s scientists?

He may be right. No one knows EXACTLY how many. But we all know the “at least” number and that, Mr. Secretary, IS YOUR pay grade.

Numbers are numbers. They don’t “lean.” On the other hand, liars are liars. And these days, they always seem to lean right. Funny that is.

So after the Epstein survivors themselves said this matter wasn't a hoax and told their stories, the President told them they were lying. That's the headline every reputable media outlet should be running.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

When I reported for duty at Naval Station Great Lakes, I never imagined that some day a US President would seek to use it as a base for surveillance and enforcement activity on American soil. Our military was not set up to cater to the whims of a would-be American dictator.

They’re not voices in his head. They’re trial balloons. If the press doesn’t start pushing back (they never do) and if we the people don’t push back (have we really?) then he figures - it’s ok then, I can be a dictator and nobody cares. We are ALLOWING him to become a dictator.
