Did he fall asleep listening to himself?
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTE… It’s not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trump’s federal invasion. I’m not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.

"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground?

So, is this a scavenger like game, where the leader shouts “hot” or “cold”, depending on the player’s proximity to the object? Is America “hot” because we zoned in on the truth that he is sick, dying, or dead?
Are you sure he wasn’t measuring the couch?
Somebody explain this outfit to me. I am over 75 years old, and I can’t remember any man dressed like this in any decade. Are those go-go boots?
