I like the look of all this off-the-rails railing this AM. Trump does this when he senses big Poopy in the offing. Maybe Mueller is scheduling the Washington Six interviews. Hope so.
The administrator of the Adult Day Care center, needs to pay more attention to that early morning shift.
We could have a rolling “Trump Rails Against…” thread, with the topic updated every morning. Might save the writers some time to have a second cuppa every day.
