  1. Offering Trump the choice of reinstating her or the 25th amendment being invoked would certainly calm everyone down …

    This nonsense is going to continue until Trump hits some sort of guard rail. At this point, he’s doing things solely to see what he can get away with.

    1. The man is a convicted felon (34 counts), found liable for sexual assault, had his foundation dissolved due to fraud, and so many other countless red flags. Despite all this, 40% of Americans support him fully and defend his every action. He said it himself, he could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue in New York and not lose anyone’s vote. Trump is merely the symptom of a much larger systemic problem of power, corruption, lack of accountability, racism, white Christian Nationalism, and white supremacy.

    1. That’s irrelevant. He has never faced consequences for any of his mistakes his entire life and never will. That’s part of the appeal, I guess…

  2. The truth is probably the greatest diference between this guy and many other elected heads of power is he failed english grammar and was found every time he plaid hide and go seek.
    This is becoming more of a game show.

  3. WOW – There’s been partisan fraud in the BLS!

    Surely, upcoming Congressional investigations will help get to the bottom of it!

    (…crickets…)
