This July holiday weekend, there’s no telling what might happen. Let’s hope it’s just a calm vacation that doesn’t have any surprises in store for democracy.

The president is enjoying asserting his power and luxuriating in those Supreme Court wins. And he never, EVER called for anything nasty to happen to journalists, right? He’s just joking about beating up protesters, or maybe not? Trump is a master at trailing off the end of those “joke” statements. Leave it hanging so you can wiggle out of whatever you were saying later if need be. 

Enjoy the holiday, and stop by my Patreon page.
