Day 189:
Rats, Meet Sinking Ship:
Shit is fucked at the white house. Trump is an abysmal manager, allowing his underlings to fight and fuss and go on TV and make asses of themselves. He is thrashing, and the oscillations are getting huge. This thing will tear itself apart soon if this doesn’t stop.
The reason? Trump is a criminal, and everyone knows it. He has been money laundering for years, for the mob, for the Russians, for anyone who will give him a loan. We are going to find out, its in his tax returns, its in his business dealings, its written all over his fucking face.
The only thing we can hope is that they are too busy clawing over one another to get off this sinking boat to do anymore hard to the American people.
