    “When the war is over, gas will fall down at levels that you’ve never seen before,”

    So he’s still calling it a war and it’s gone on for longer than 60 days. Congress is absolutely useless and has ceded their power to him by not reining him in. This has only taught him that he can declare war on any country, push it past the 60 day limit and congress wont do shit about it. I really thought that the checks and balances in this country were more than just theater that relied on people in power to not blatantly break the rules.

    The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.

    Wait, I thought we were all supposed to dress up like it’s the 1950s on the airplane, as if being a slob on the airplane was a problem that America was really asking any leadership to solve.

    I’m sorry, what were Duffy’s qualifications again, besides being on the TV?

    The entire trump administration should book multiple buses and take a road trip together. A road trip over a cliff!

    Kill international tourism with tarifs and talks of invading allies, then kill domestic tourism with gas prices. Guess the hotel lobby is not strong enought to push back.

      They’re up against the weapons lobby and the Israel lobby. It’s not contest, they aren’t even playing in the same league.

        Doesn’t matter. He’s laundering millions through his hotels. Want to bribe the president? Book a few nights at his hotels for an over inflated cost. You don’t even need to actually stay in the hotels.

          Turns out laundering millions is just for pikers and PEDOnald has leveled up. PEDOnald and his sons have a crypto scheme that has made them billions so far.
