He describes the governor of Minnesota as wanting to “get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life.” Every accusation really is an admission for Trump.

What makes you think it won’t be?

Next time: burning at the stake. **That** will pull in a lot of viewers. At Easter, crucifixion. People will love it.

From the article:

“The execution will be livestreamed, according to a Defense Department official, though it’s not yet clear on which platform.” Gee, I wonder.
