As no one wants to explain the whereabouts of the $50,000 we should assume Tom Homan still has it.

Contrary to Stephen Miller, the president is not "commander-in-chief" of law enforcement within the United States. The invocation of the title "commander-in-chief" to justify anything Trump wants to do anywhere is a sign of how far down the road the administration is to Caesarism.

The problem with the frog in the pot of slowly warming water analogy is the pot is actually full of frogs and a lot of us have known for a long time what kind of trouble we're in but we've stayed in the pot out of loyalty to the others.

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

He means 65% of his brain has rotted away.

He's already jumped off the cliff. He simply cannot risk having to relinquish power. There are so many plausible scenarios for how this plays out and none where he voluntarily leaves the WH.

This Is a great idea for a peaceful, perfectly legal protest that would enrage the Trumpists. I'd make it the MAGA hats.
