WHAT IF I THINK I’M SAVING MY COUNTRY - FROM TRUMP? Or you think you are? Or if everybody thinks THEY are?

It’s one small flaw in Trump quoting “He who saves his country violates no law”

Means lotsa saviors

If you’re in downtown New Orleans right now, you need to get out of there. Safely.

Law-enforcement is currently dealing with a suspicious package on Bourbon Street.

I’m posting this as news comes in. The death told us up to 13. An officer was also shot, but is in stable condition.

fondly recalling how after Jan 6 Congress went home for a long weekend, didn't start impeachment proceedings for a week, which then took another month
It took only ~2.5 hrs for the National Assembly to gather a majority of members (190 of 300) and generate a unanimous vote (190 of 190) to vote down the emergency martial law. The law says the president "shall comply" with parliament's vote, but doesn't specify a time frame.

If we can’t read passages from our favorite classic novels aloud to one another whilst enjoying dark chocolate tiramisu and a bottle of Château Margaux in front of a crackling fire in a Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cold winter’s night, then what’s the point?

This was always their plan
Rep. Richard McCormick: "We're gonna have to have some hard decisions. We're gonna have to bring in the Democrats to talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. There's hundreds of billions of dollars to be saved, we just have to have the stomach to take those challenges on."

A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing, and so is almost none at all. A history of the 1890s tariffs about which Trump is clueless: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-love...
Trump Loves The 1890s But He’s Clueless About Them
The tariffs he keeps babbling about didn’t make that decade great. They helped usher in a depression.
