The Smithsonian had this all under control but Trump came in and changed the name from
America 250 to Freedom 250, chased the Smithsonian away, and then stole all the money. Impeach-
ment procedures should start Monday morning along with a court filed injunction to stop Trump from
fucking up the White House more and the statues behind the Lincoln Memorial.

However the good side to these medical causalities is that they are most likely Trump supporters.

It is 9:20 PM and it is 96 F there right now.
