The most infuriating thing about this timeline for me is that I’m just smart enough to see the ways we are so screwed but nowhere near smart enough to do much about anything. So I just live in this constant state of anxiety, sadness & hopelessness waiting for the dominos I can set up start to fall.

So to recap Chief Insurrectionist Trump’s presser today:
- will use military force to annex Panama Canal and Greenland
- will use economic force to annex Canada / acknowledges borders are “imaginary lines
- will change Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America
- haven’t seen anything about making eggs cheap
- will use military force to annex Panama Canal and Greenland
- will use economic force to annex Canada / acknowledges borders are “imaginary lines
- will change Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America
- haven’t seen anything about making eggs cheap
