Purge, Merge, and Surge Trump is creating a omniforce of armed loyalists to establish his police state

New, from me:
Trump's 3 step plan to create a military omniforce
1. Purge - those deemed disloyal
2. Merge - different parts of law enforcement/military
3. Surge - impose the omniforce on Dem cities; instigate unrest; assert dominance; silence dissent

Yes. I do believe it’s statewide however and it’s only for two weeks, I believe.

K-shaped cars: New vehicle prices top $50,000 while auto loan delinquencies keep rising Look no further than the automotive industry for the latest indication of a potential "K-Shaped" economy for U.S. consumers.

The only way Americans will find out any information about the economy is when companies start putting out their quarterly reports.

Everything else is blacked out.

But then it’s too late to correct anything.

Supreme Court ruling could let GOP add 19 House seats and "clear the path for a one-party system" Supreme Court case could wipe out all Democratic-held seats in some deep-red Southern states.

If this ruling goes through in favor of the GOP you can count on our party from ever winning again. It’s a big deal and it’s happening Wednesday. 🔄

Emanuel: China's basically found leverage; they're applying pressure, and they're doing it to soybean farmers. Our farmers have lost that market, are out a huge amount of money, and could see a lot of bankruptcies in the rural parts of the Midwest.

House Republicans are now scheming to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
