He doesn't know anything about it. He doesn't make those decisions.He just does what his lawyers tell him to do.

P.S. The above is almost exactly what he said in response to a question about what he was doing to "facilate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, per a court order!

5. Remember when that call to public morality alone could bring down a hate-filled right-wing movement?

16. Remember when that guy put Dan Quayle in his place about John Kennedy?

My brain is holding on to his name, but Quayle was mumbling on about something how he was just like John Kennedy. The response?

Sir, I knew John Kennedy. You are no John Kennedy.

Mic drop. Quayle's face was priceless.

We need that kind of short, sharp responses, but all we get are measured, deliberate answers. The average person won't get it. Short and sweet, straight to the heart. That's how it's done.

17. Texas Senator Lloyd Bentsen, Michael Dukakis' running mate in 1988.

Bentsen was center-right, but he was a Democrat. I think he was the last Democratic senator from Texas. When they will ever have another is anyone’s guess.

When this point is reached and surpassed. What comes next?

This and other fuck you's to the judiciary should bring folks out in the streets.

The apple cart is and has been upset.

What comes next?
