1. The national leader is a serial arsonist.

2. Tell him to stop being a troll

Won’t work, but at least it’s a better headline.

3. He's a backstop.

Motionless. Unused. Empty...

4. That's My Governor....

5. Was Putin also on this call, btw?

They spoke earlier today. Instructions from the home office.

10. He can talk to PUTIN but not to Americans.

Says it all.
Puppet.

He and Putin are making the calculation that continued violence helps him.

6. We are beyond prayer. We are beyond calling for calm. We are at

MFer-#45 announcing immediate, bold, constructive actions by his administration to address the problems: police brutality against African-Americans, racism, unemployment and no or insufficient financial assistance.

Financial assistance is a big problem for MFer-#45, considering that he gave away the Treasury to the rich.

Perhaps he should pressure V.P. Pence to resign now and immediately follow that with his own resignation. That would transfer many of his problems to the Democrats.

7. Like a bold action to resign.

8. What a waste of good advice

and who wants to help Trump anyway? Better to tell him he's doing a great job because he'll ignore you and do what he wants anyway.

9. i was really hoping someone did.

his response was probably more verbal abuse. he'll probably tweet some BS about Pritzker. If only everyone on the call reiterated the same thing.

If only.
