Perhaps we should all be working harder at spreading the news.

Okay. Well, if Trump is going to attempt legal end-arounds like federalizing the NG of GOP states to send them to Dem states over the objections of governors and courts, I think the Democrats should just keep the federal government shut down indefinitely.

Trump will ramble about himself and how many peace treaties he’s created, and the whole thing will become a big fricking waste of time. I wouldn’t worry about another Reichstag moment at this meeting. He’s not that good at history.
