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.

My goal with my woodwork originally was very small and humble to just make wooden drinks coasters and well iv yet to make a single one but have made 4 tables / workbenches and a stool so clearly I’m working my way on the tech tree. What use is a coaster without a table to place it on #woodworking

Standing and rolling workbench now fully made but just needing to be oiled.
