William Lindsey :toad:"Be prepared for Trump’s own Reichstag fire, particularly if the economy continues to sour and he needs to create an emergency in order to justify an iron rule.

William Lindsey :toad:"Every day we need to go through the painful ritual of waking up and reminding ourselves that none of this is normal, that we are living in an America dangerously close to a slide into tyranny.
