That these goons are gleeful about destroying the economy, the rule of law, the constitution, our alliances and much of the country's power (for starters) would be mind-boggling, but such is the narcissism whereby nothing can be more important or more respected than they are.

Dear media:
Please do not waste time hyperventilating about this dumb comment.
It’s intended to be a distraction from all of the damaging actions he’s taking.
Focus on those.

Is anyone saying the D word? It should be coming out of bullhorns on every street corner.
The co-presidents are dismantling the government at lightning speed but haven’t done a single thing to lower prices. In fact they’re making it worse.
