Did I Just Hear Emperor Oink Threaten To Suspend Congress So That He Can Make Recess Appointments?

It's hard to decipher all the snorts and grunts from these daily evil-clown performances. But I thought I just heard Trump whine for ten minutes about not being able to make his stupid recess appointments while Congress is holding pro-forma sessions; and then threaten to use his 'emergency powers' to suspend Congress so that he can make recess appointments?

I believe he just did a full FERDINAND MARCOS. Just in case the people who are writing history missed it (which I doubt), THAT WAS IT. The opening salvo in the first legitimate attempt to destroy the Republic from within.

It's also hard to hold investigative and oversight hearings if Congress is forcibly out of session.

I tried! Honestly.

It's just another fucking distraction and grab for attention for Mr. MEMEMEMEMEME.

Not gonna worry about it. He is a toddler with presidential power and HE WANTS ATTENTION.

For the last several weeks he's been increasingly desperate for ATTENTION. DISTRACTION.

Fuck him. We may as well get used to daily tantrums until November 3.

Then seriously, it will honestly be FUCK HIM time.

We keep waiting for Moscow Mitch to lose patience with his toddler protege. He won't.

I am tuning him out and if people keep carrying on about him I feel like I have to block them too.
