Trump has seized control of Washington

Without any act of Congress.

To me the appropriate reaction for any DC police office right now is to sit, arms folded at their desk, and ask “what would you like me to do sir”. If drumpf’s going to control DC then he can give all the orders.

There’s a call about a car accident. Should we go look at it Mr President?

Mr President a store was robbed. Should be investigate?

Mr President can I take a vacation day Friday?

Mr President this cruiser is out of gas. Can I fill it up?

You want it. You got it fuck face. If you are so fucking smart, you tell us everything we should do.

But it's not like he understands the law or has ever abided by it. So, I'll not going to hold my breath.

If Congress did it. I think a court will knock down Trump’s attempt quickly.
But, the Supremes might let it stand while the case is working its way through the system.

I winder if this is a trial run to work out any kinks before he takes over other Democratic cities. We’ll see whether he interferes with local elections this fall. He likes to rig elections.

Going to an Island and having sex with young girls?

Does this mean trump will round up convicted felons in DC?

Do military leaders need to bone up on what constitutes unlawful orders?

US Military personnel rounding up American Citizens?

Hey stupid people, you voted for him, he no longer loves you.
