Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., U.S. soldiers are rehearsing for Trump’s wasteful military parade tomorrow, which is being held to celebrate his birthday (and allegedly to mark 250 years of the U.S. Army). All this to soothe the ego of a five-time draft dodger. Embarrassing.

The GOP not only sold out regular Americans in this shitty bill, they relinquished their own power and responsibilities to a deranged, aged wannabe dictator. Bravo, republicans. Thanks for failing in your duty to the constitution. YOU, along with your dear leader, are true domestic enemies. #MomSky

Piers Morgan is a POS but man is this interview wild - based on the way her tone changes I don't think she realized the implications of what she said until after she said it. If you look closely you can see her realize she is absolutely cooked in real time.

Just a reminder that most of Trump's executive orders are nothing more than press releases. After he ordered the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to pull funding for NPR and PBS, the CPB responded that it is authorized and funded by Congress and is not subject to the president's authority.
