It’s odd that the president would need to give an Oval Office address about something as arbitrary (albeit idiotic) as moving Space Force or renaming the DoD. I have to assume he’s doing it because he knows the world thinks he’s hiding.

Bro drops his favorite joke of, "You are going to make a lucky woman a nice wife someday." I laugh because I love that joke and ask if he felt like crashing here since I probably won't feel like driving after cooking. So, all y'all stay safe tonight. I got food to make.

About a mile down the road, I hear, "Where are we going?" I tell him, "I'm not sure, I'm following you." He hits back with, "Damn. I forgot." Me, responding, "How about back to my place, and I cook. You feel like eating?" Bro, "If you cooking. Hell yeah. You making waffles? Love this guy.

I hear "oh shit" and thinking he's going to be sick, I pull over. After explaining the confusion, he explained that he just had a thought. I asked him to share and he dropped this: Trump is showing an accelerated decline in his health. Trump just met with Putin. Trump may have been poisoned.

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops. I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops. I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

I am serious when I say that none of those actions would be more radical than what Trump is currently using his executive power to do—almost always with permission from the Supreme Court. And if the judiciary stands in the way, why not follow Judge Emil Bove's maxim and "tell courts 'fuck you'"?
