Oh boy. Trump is starting to play dictator god with gusto now.

Just tonight Obamacare has been ordered to be eliminated and the military is moving 1 billion into the wall.

Now that he has confidence that he's invulnerable he's going to go crazy with his extremist right wing agenda and really try to be the almighty dictator that his followers want him to be.

It's going to be a rocky, scary next two years, like nothing we've seen before.
Just watch.

So he has emergency powers accepted by Republicans in Congress. And that means all the money he wants.

He’s going for the 7th bankruptcy in his life, and we are are here for the ride. He’s taking all of us down.

Evengelical Christians have actually chosen wisely. He’s the guy to cause Armageddon. Bravo Christians and fuck you all to hell where you actually belong for putting the monster in office.

Trump is taking a victory lap based upon his stooge Barr's 4 page memo. It's a planned media circus. House Dems need the full report which likely is far more damning than Barr's spin.

In that sense, he is very predictable. In his arrogance and stupidity, he will be characteristically careless and make more mistakes than usual. Meanwhile, many investigations continue and he cannot stop them.

13. He's also sending out a list of who should be banned from the airwaves.

For all we know, there could be details about Trump running a preschooler prostitute ring or the time he sold drugs dressed as a nun.

All we have to go on is Barr's four-page whitewash.

Or maybe Mueller AND Barr are teamed up. I know it's longshot speculation along the lines of Q-anon.

Imagine if Barr is purposely giving 45 a sense of safety so he's where they want him when the hammer comes down and they drop the (correctly redacted for personal security of individuals and ongoing cases) report to Chuck and Nancy.

Maybe even fucking McConnell is running interference to keep Democrats from freaking Trump out before it's time.

Yeah, that'd make too good an ending to this movie.

His people are still fully with him. Republicans, fully with him. He's been terrible but not enough.

Bring the pain. We need it. :/
