GTFOH Trump Watch: Midnight Regulations
My sisters and I had this thing that we’d do whenever we were in trouble and needed a parent to sign off on something the school sent home. For me, the one who was always in trouble, I damn near perfected it and it worked like this: Wait until my dad was well into his…

I'm Not Saying Donald Trump Is Planning a Coup, but He's Doing Exactly What Someone Would Do if They Were Planning a Coup
I’m not the kind of person who shares conspiracy theories.

President Trump is becoming the PT Barnum of his day, and the crazy conspiracy theories and racist rants he pushes to his legions of sycophants is his circus.
