The policy and politics of Trumpism

I wonder if Jeff Wall is tired of having to go before SCOTUS yet because Barr and Trump have been making a lot of cases go there lately.

Well, in that case, I hope there is something criminal found in the records that links Trump to the Russians. Something that would "lock him up."

To clarify, I meant any time soon. Should it go to a trial, certainly it will eventually out. TBF, I expect him to seek asylum in Russia at some point...

Gorsuch and Kavanaugh both voted with the majority. Trump may declare them traitors.

He's having a Twitter meltdown at the moment.

Barr has had some teeth pulled, rather forcefully...

I have expected that. He uses the "official government business" mantra to allow him to post some things that would not otherwise be allowed. It only follows that all rules tied to that delineation should apply.

Every single tweet which is not government business is campaign-oriented, aimed at his base or those with whom he's angry...
