Was the administration trying to target certain areas--trying to hold on to "the base," etc. ? Was it nationwide?

So last week I predicted that some deep dark stuff would surface in the coming week, I hope we find the pile of evidence that finally sinks these fu'ers and we can clean up the mess and try to move forward. I've been unable to sleep well for months, my eating habits are terrible and I'm anxious all the time. I go to therapy but my therapist is just as freaked out.

This has to come to a definitive end and real soon.

to get what he wants. I don't think he realizes how deep a hole he's dug at this point. There's always someone he could pay to save him from his disasters and he thought that by being in the Oval Office he ha all these government employees as his slaves. I think there should be severely diminished amenities with each passing day for this asshole.

he regretted that he couldnt work crime into the rhyme. but since drugs are a crime, he thought it was sort of a double whammy.
