In the end, it happened because Congress was no longer a coequal branch. No one would have blinked an eye at the Secret Service mowing down attackers with machine guns in a comparable attack on the White House.

If we survive this moment—and I am still quite confident we will—what must emerge on the other side is a professional class of bloodthirsty warriors, effectively left-wing nationalists who serve society as a philosophical concept and with cold, calculant precision seek the destruction of an enemy.

BARTIROMO: What is the GOP's healthcare plan?
RICK SCOTT: Many times you can buy it way cheaper by just going directly to a doctor or a hospital or surgery center rather than going through the insurance product. Let them buy their own insurance.

My folks are in town visiting us for a couple months so we rented them a house nearby. It’s new construction. No one has lived in it yet. It’s amped up with state of the art systems. You know, the one...

Trump openly frames military force as a commercial acquisition tool. You can’t credibly argue limited self defense, LE action, narrow authorization, or emergency necessity while simultaneously describing infrastructure takeover, profit generation, corporate involvement, and follow-on strikes.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."
