He seems nice.
At 79, Trump is violently unhinged, threatening to "terminate" networks on Christmas Eve. This is a blatant authoritarian move to crush a free press that dares to criticize him.

The president spent the first few minutes of Christmas Eve saying a popular TV host should be “put to sleep, NOW.”

Inquiring minds want to know.
Would the Supreme Court rule that taking a bribe for a pardon was an "official act" by the president and immune from prosecution? I'm serious. If Trump announced he was selling pardons for $1M a pop, could anyone do anything about it, short of impeachment? (Which carries no prison sentence.)
