@los-angelesdodgers.bsky.social here's what's going to happen when you go to the White House tomorrow. 1. He's going to keep you waiting. He thinks it makes him powerful. 2. Once he gets on the mic, he's going to go on for a long time. Any assurances you got about a schedule were and are garbage.

Liberation!! So many Trump voters thought their belligerently stupid narcissistic slob of a god-king would be "good for the economy". People with actual educations and brains tried to warn you. And yes, I'm talking down to you because you deserve it.

You know that Trump has truly gone off the rails when John Yoo, of 2002 Torture Memos infamy, declares his administration’s treatment of aliens unlawful. Yoo was the key legal mind behind America’s use of torture at Guantanamo & Abu Ghraib. Even he calls Trump’s treatment of foreigners unlawful.
