oh, look, Trump was "in a frenzy" wanting to fire someone because she said publicly there was going to be a pandemic with, like, lots of people dying but it just wasn't worth arguing with him or telling the public the president was off his rocker
gosh what would we have done without Melania trying to talk her husband into being rational
oh wait it didn't work how could that be
so president nutjob in the situation room said he thought maybe the pandemic was a "good thing" because now he wouldn't have to shake the hands of all the "disgusting people" who voted for him
Herr Präsident stabiles Genie vanted to hold a parade for himself on July 4 mit Panzern und Flugzeugen but Pentagon brass thought it would be too 1930s Germanyish
update on tfg wanting to be on Mt. Rushmore
Is the potus a danger to the country? Not my place to say
anonymous congressman who privately believed tfg was dangerously deranged praises anonymous officials as heroes for protecting us from the dangerously deranged president whom they enabled and sucked up to and pretended wasn't dangerously deranged

“Support for the law firms that didn’t make deals has been growing inside the offices of corporate executives. At least 11 big companies are moving work away from law firms that settled with the administration or are giving—or intend to give—more business to firms that have been targeted but refused to strike deals, according to general counsels at those companies and other people familiar with those decisions.”
“In interviews, general counsels expressed concern about whether they could trust law firms that struck deals to fight for them in court and in negotiating big deals if they weren’t willing to stand up for themselves against Trump. The general counsel of a manufacturer of medical supplies said that if firms facing White House pressure ‘don’t have a hard line,’ they don’t have any line at all.”
“How appalling is it that Trump—an outright criminal who should have gone to jail for far more than he was convicted of—is using his official power to punish lawyers for representing innocent people he doesn't like and to deny people the very due process he's getting?”
