Axios reports that Maggie Haberman reveals in her forthcoming book that “While President Trump was in office, staff in the White House residence periodically discovered wads of printed paper clogging a toilet — and believed the president had flushed pieces of paper.”
Ah, perhaps that explains T****’s whacky 2019 comments, reported by CNN and others: “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once.”
Maybe it’s the paper, Donald.
Per the Washington Post:
“Calling Trudeau a “far left lunatic,” Trump said in a statement Friday that “insane covid mandates” are destroying Canada and urged the convoy to come to Washington to protest the United States’ public health measures.”
US Covid deaths per 100K*: 275.88
Canadian Covid deaths per 100K*: 92.7
American % fully vaccinated*: 64.4
Canadian % fully vaccinated*: 80

Who’s the lunatic now?
Wow, just wow.
On January 6, 2020, the deadliest attack on the Capitol in 200 years took place, in which a mob stormed the complex, attacked police officers, and interrupted the proper certification of a presidential election by sending lawmakers fleeing. Nine people died in connection with the attack and more than 150 police officers were injured. But in a resolution censuring Reps. Kinzinger and Cheney, the Republican party’s “National Committee” today labeled the January 6 attack “ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse.” They incidentally declared that Democrats in Congress “have embarked on a systematic effort to replace liberty with socialism.” They are a party that calls removing Covid misinformation from social media a “violation of free speech and first amendment rights” (misinformation the propagation of which has resulted in the unnecessary loss of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of American lives), yet is more than happy to ban books and the teaching of factual information regarding the institution of slavery in the U.S.
This party will apparently do anything to maintain its grip on power; no lie is too big, no distortion of reality, however damaging, unacceptable. I find these RNC leaders contemptible beyond measure. It’s time for this party to go away.
