It would be really nice if we had a working legislature in this country; they could impeach, convict, and remove from office this felon. Sadly, we are in Bizarro World today. Lying in court, assassination on the high seas, starting wars half a world away. What’s it gonna take? Still disappointed with the obituaries today.

And…the press is doing follow up questions and totally tripping him up. By the way, did you know that putting ICE in the airport was like the invention of the paperclip?
