I have to say, I follow the news pretty closely and I cannot even begin to stay atop the travesties, corruption, nastiness, illegality of this administration. It is truly a phenom

Wow.

Not so subtle corruption is all the rage for Republicans now.

Next he'll be saying that deporting US citizens is OK... oh, wait. He did that already.

So next up will be Treason charges for anyone not wearing his Golden Idol Bust... on their forehead.
