Silly us. Ka$h was called to the White House so he could be ordered to do more corrupt shit for Trump.

he has done something(s) that would have ended any president before him. It is almost as if he is daring congress to do something.

... that Republicans have the 1st Amendment printed on every square of their toilet paper. An informed electorate is what Republican nightmares are made of.
To jog your memory:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Trump and his merry band of miscreants HATE the Constitution, but especially the 1st Amendment.

press is completely free. They’re free to report all news pertaining to the actions of the current coup. They have exclusive, outstanding support from elpresidente, Cabinet officials, trump performers and clowns in the tangerine circus to effusively repeat the facts as the regime sees it with their fecal-smeared spectacles.
