Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

They killed JFK. The least we can do is trade Aaron Judge to the Marlins for cash considerations.

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

it also seems to repudiate the "terrorism" claims, since terrorism is not approximately defined by punch-ups with the police.

I guess I'm like... even if this were true, which it isn't, that doesn't rise to the level of "war"; in fact, it refutes it. It upends the entire rationale for sending in the military. There is no provision or law that calls for sending the military into a zone due to fisticuffs.

Le "camp présidentiel" n'a pas "implosé", il a explosé : c'est l'effet de la grenade dégoupillée 💥

🇫🇷 Conspué par ses opposants, rejeté par l'opinion et maintenant lâché par les siens: Emmanuel Macron est plus seul que jamais à la tête d'une France qui s'enfonce dans la crise politique, sur les cendres du camp présidentiel qui a implosé au grand jour.
