"To bring a democracy under authoritarian control, you need more than a strongman. You need politicians who will assure the public, as we slide toward one-man rule, that nothing odd is happening. That’s the role Johnson is playing in Trump’s takeover of America."

My report on Johnson's complicity.

The Speaker of the House Is Abetting Authoritarianism

Whe. People have had a stroke. They often recover much of the motor function when they are doing well. When there is a new stress on the system, line sleep deprivation or an infection. The old deficits come out again. Called, Recrudescence. Looks like this.

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

At least Trump got a free jet and a $5.5 billion golf resort in Qatar, so there’s that.

So Trump gave Argentina a $20 billion bailout and is now building a Qatari military facility in Idaho.
