At least they were. Today, as cities are shutting down and police are turning out-of-staters around at our borders, we’re suddenly confronted with the real question: What will be I able to do under quarantine?

Let us swamp dwellers turn this around on the rest of you out there. Miss us yet? How are you doing without us telling you what to do all day everyday and better what not to do, including understanding that all things not specifically commanded are forbidden.

How can you possibly cope without the abiding love and affection that we deep state swamp dwellers feel for each and every one of our subjects.

No, he doesn’t. He has fanned the flames of despair as much as anyone.

The weakest link to this presidency has always been horrible advisement. He is still human when he goes with "gut" and will listen to those who are supposed to be "experts" (who may hate him anyway and have agenda).
