President Trump fighting with the press means he doesn't have to talk about high gas prices ($4.48/gallon avg) or high diesel prices (record of $6.51/gallon)

Johnson is too stupid to understand how enormously stupid his comment is. Why would anyone think that a new technology that is consuming vast amounts of investment and natural resources that nobody in Congress knows fuck all about could safely self-regulate?

A federal judge just confirmed what anyone with half a brain already knew. Trump’s ten-billion-dollar lawsuit against the IRS was never a legal filing. It was cheap, poorly acted theater, and American taxpayers were forced to buy front-row tickets to the circus.
