Reading Trump voters complain about things such as narcan being "free" but not chemo, or insurance companies covering opioid drugs but not some pain relieving creams is mind boggling.

At a time like this, it is important to express things plainly. On Tuesday evening, Donald Trump acted like a despot. Without warning or provocation, he summarily fired the independent-minded director of the F.B.I., James Comey. Comey had been overseeing an investigation into whether there was any collusion between Trump’s Presidential campaign and the government of Russia. With Comey out of the way, Trump can now pick his own man (or woman) to run the Bureau, and this person will have the authority to close down that investigation.

That is what has happened. It amounts to a premeditated and terrifying attack on the American system of government. Quite possibly, it will usher in a constitutional crisis. Even if it doesn’t, it represents the most unnerving turn yet in what is a uniquely unnerving Presidency.
What a nightmare in America right now.

The biggest insult is the letter. It's like it was written by a 15 year old trying to absolve himself of blame. Honestly, I'd feel insulted by how transparant all of it is.

But then you have guys like Andy. People who can't wait to guard the camps. People who won't hesitate to denounce Trump when it's all over. People who will claim they knew it all along. That's the real scum.

Have fun in the camps, @Bjerknes. But remember, it always ends. And people will come for you.
