  3. It should be pretty easy for the news networks to do some interviews. Let’s hear their story first hand.

  4. Kate: The word that Rump was desperately trying to spell was "emergency."

    And no, the Border Patrol didn’t need the Dotard to tell them that the “caravan” was coming.

    ETA: if Rump is looking to “change laws”, he might want to inquire within his own Party, you know, the ones in power, if maybe they can get on that.
