“REPORTER: ‘If you’re declaring war on these cartels and Congress will likely approve, why not ask for a declaration of war?’
TRUMP: ‘I don’t think we’ll ask for a declaration of war. I think we’ll just kill people bringing drugs into our country. We’re going to kill them like dead. Okay?’”

If he was 10 years younger, or even 5, I would agree. But he's aging fast.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

An interesting take on the demolition of the East Wing of the White House

Is anyone here familiar enough with construction to weigh in here? I'm not, but I wouldn't be surprised if this individual is right about the end goal.

Exactly!

Ron Filipkowski • @ronfilipkows... • 3h He did everything he possibly could to overturn the election & stay in power - threatening his VP, Govs & Secs of States, organizing a mob to storm the Capitol. He knew if he ordered a military coup they would've refused & he would've been tried for treason.
That's why he left.

I’ve been a prosecutor. There’s a huge difference between wiretaps and what were called “pen registers,” which only provide number called and length of call. If you don’t know the difference, you don’t belong on the Judiciary Committee. www.cbsnews.com/news/jack-sm...

Question: Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
@whitehouse.senate.gov

We have laws against false marketing. Why can't the same criminal laws be applied to the blatant false propaganda of the GOP? These lies have got to stop.
