What was President Trump's 'big announcement' tease about?
Respect his authority. Honestly, so much comes at us every day with him. I can't even sleep, organize, thoughts, eat. I just... And he knows. He knows he's toying with us. Here he is on Tuesday of last week.
We're going to have a very, very big announcement to make. Like, as big as it gets. And I won't tell you on what.
Oh, good. So we won't know how to prepare. Should we wear our good pants? or the ones we piss in. But fine. Don't tell us this big announcement.
Just tell us when. And that announcement will be made either Thursday or Friday or Monday before we leave.
Why are you mentioning it? Is it sweeps week? Is that what this is? But fine. We will keep our eyes out for any announcement bombshells. And on Friday, I think we got one.
Is the suspension of habeas corpus a possibility under Trump?
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So I would say that's an option we're actively looking at. The government, the United States government,
is actively looking at suspending due process and the rule of law. That's a big announcement. Big enough for Stephen Miller to risk bursting into flames because of the touch of God's sunlight.
The only time a president has done it unilaterally without the authorization of Congress was Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. That was the last.
Really? So back when slavery was legal and the treatment for diarrhea was amputation. But that being said, this is a big announcement.
As you know, you know, ability of somebody to challenge their rights in courts is a pretty essential part of the rule of law. So certainly raising a lot of eyebrows with that comment.
Just, just eyebrows. The Trump administration is thinking of tearing up the Constitution. So here in Washington, we're hearing a lot of, huh. One legal scholar even said, that's weird. So maybe that's the announcement. Suspension of habeas corpus, unless there's something else.
President Trump is appointing former New York prosecutor Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. attorney.
You may say to yourself, well, that can't be the announcement. Because that's just not that big a deal. Yet in this new world that we live in, this announcement registers the same as suspending habeas corpus on the eyebrow-o-meter.
Jeanine Pirro, a lot of eyebrows are being raised at this pick so far.
Hey, hey, hey, Jeanine! You're going to be the new U.S. attorney in D.C., Yeah, I know! We're surprised, too! That is, by the way, the sound. Oh, also, they're suspending habeas corpus. So maybe... Maybe that's the big announcement. But hey, we've got until today for any other announcements. Was there anything else?
The Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar. That luxury jumbo jet, which has a value estimated at $400 million, the aircraft would be used by President Trump as a new Air Force One and then transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation shortly before he leaves office.
