Ourselves in this morning. i will admit to being surprise last night that anything donald trump can say can surprise me anymore. this is some nasty stuff. last night speech was as dangerous for the truth donald trump told us it was her the lies, there were lies, they re always lies with donald trump. the truth was that we re dangerously close to donald trump rising to power again and finishing what he started when he tried to overturn the results of the last presidential election and take over the government in contravention of the will of the american people. if you listen closely to his 99-minute speech, i hope you don t have, to we did. he was basically openly applauding how he s gonna weaponize the government by cleaning house and firing anyone that his administration considers an enemy or insufficiently loyal to trump s self serving agenda. when i get back into the oval office, i will totally obliterate the deep state. they will be obliterated. ....
