The second term Trump administration seems like nothing more than a game show about beating the clock where something, at some point is going to happen. All the lies are either a stalling technique or they just think everybody can lose their house and starve and still support them.

Except when Trump bankrupts them with tariffs. Then she will say nothing except for asking the rest of the country for welfare to bail them out.

I’m convinced he’s dealing with a serious health issue and they’re hiding all of it.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

Bingo!

When people get the unredacted low down from their doctors, they get instilled with "The Fear of God". Literally...

So, where was he this past week?

Oh yeah, talking to doctors at Walter Reed for an "Annual Physical", like that one he just had only 6 months ago

With the combination of lack of quality sleep, travel across time zones and a very aggressive Public appearance and speaking schedule, this trip is going to reveal just how bad his physical and mental health is. His handlers will have difficulty hiding these issues during this whirlwind visit.

Watching the documentary is a gut punch. Big tech bros have turned corrupted an industry that was once worthy of being called our 4th Estate. Now we turn to independent media for truth telling.

At moments of great peril for our democracy, Katharine Graham embodied everything that is missing from the press at the current linchpin moment.

Watching this film at this moment in history was a gut punch. New from me at @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-nixo...

Trump’s Abuses of Power Show We Didn’t Learn Much From the Nixon Era

That failure is implicit in nearly every frame of a new documentary about Katharine Graham.
