Trump employs stochastic rhetoric. You never know what he will go through with or what he doesn’t.

This enables his supporters to say “that’s just Trump being Trump!” And makes it impossible to warn or prepare fully for his actions and requires us to “wait” to see what he actually “does, not says”.

The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them.

Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp.

They’re Trump’s puppets, and everyone knows it.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

I wanna go on record to say I think the reason we’re in all this giant mess is still because harambe died.

Captain ‘Reau @thoreau.bsky.social · 6h

I still blame this all on harambe.

Sign that your 9YO may have two lawyers for parents:

Me: “You’re not complaining, are you?”

9YO: “No. I’m just stating my feelings in an aggravated tone!”
