How much more of the White House will Trump destroy before someone steps in to stop him? What’s next, the Capitol?

Trump has long speculated about using force against his own people. Now he has the pretext to do so
It’s always suited Trump to manufacture crises to further his agenda. By demonising protesters as insurrectionist mobs, he could be laying the groundwork for further escalation.

Jamie is the best. I don’t know what is wrong with the people raving mad because he hasn’t “arrested” Trump. In real life, that isn’t in his power to do. He’s fighting as tirelessly for justice and against fascism as anyone in the country — fighting in the courts, in Congress, and in the streets.
