The president had a MRI but won't say why.
He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.
He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.
He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.
How is any of this ok?

I am going to go full Purim/Haman on trump once he is gone. I will just have a noisemaker with me wherever I go and use if when anyone says his name. I will make little orange dumplings and eat them and poop them out.

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open"
That's it. That's the whole story.

Yes. (And still getting "standoff" BS and "who will blink first" and "who will voters blame" from news.)
Trump and MAGA control the *entire* government. It's a simple fact:
- White House
- Senate
- House
- Scotus
- OMB (to the hilt)
- Every regulatory agency
They're in command. It's on them.

I do not understand why they cannot get the headlines right.
Just follow the gop playbook!
“Repubs control it all! The shutdown is on them!”
As nauseum.
Don’t lead with the nuance.

Considering the cacophony of outrage and protest that occurred today when Republicans lowered the vote threshold for nominations, it's clear Democrats were right not to do anything like that when they held the majority.

The National Guard is measuring public sentiment about President Trump's D.C. takeover.
It has found that its mission is perceived as “leveraging fear” and driving a “wedge between citizens and the military,” according to documents reviewed by The Post.

One thing I think about all the time is that it would’ve taken *one person* in the beginning to stop this. One republican member of congress. One media owner. One university president. The first one to say no could’ve stopped this because Trump is a coward and would’ve backed down. Goddamn them all

Because I suspect that to the extent that getting shot is coming up in these conversations, it's happening like this:
"You need to confront ICE directly!"
"I can't! If I do that I'll get shot!"
"So fucking get shot."
"Get shot" here isn't tactical advice, it's refusal to accept a false dilemma.
