Tommy Vietor

Trump is tweeting out videos where he calls his OMB director the grim reaper.

There are times where I look at the dynamic on the Republican side, and I wonder if these guys actually really want to reopen the government.

But you seem more hopeful than I am.

Yeah.

Good point.

Is it Vought?

I've been saying vote the whole time.

Did I get the Reaper's name wrong?

I guess we don't fear the reaper, so we're just going to say it how we want.

Switching gears a little bit.

So the Trump administration recently designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.

The administration is now threatening to go after progressive groups they say are somehow supporting Antifa.

I do think it's worth noting that one of the many ways the United States combats terrorists is by killing them.

So that's the context here.

How concerned are you about this kind of rhetoric and this Antifa designation being used as a pretext to just go after Trump's enemies?

So are we popping the top and hanging out the family jewels or is that a no?

Look, I try to keep you guessing.

No, I did want to ask you about the No Kings protests this Saturday.

I will be attending.

But top Republicans like Speaker Johnson, they've called the protests a hate America rally.
