Trump Can’t Even Shoot Straight

 Toddler with a shotgun:

"I mean, this is way beyond anything that Richard Nixon ever did," [Larry] Summers remarked. "I'm surprised that other officials have not responded by resigning themselves, as took place when Richard Nixon fired people lawlessly. This is a preposterous charge."

"These numbers are put together by teams of literally hundreds of people following detailed procedures that are in manuals," he continued. "There's no conceivable way that the head of the BLS could have manipulated this number."

"This is the stuff of — democracy is giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers. It goes with launching assaults on universities. It goes with launching assaults on law firms."
With no fucking idea how government works, or what it’s supposed to do.
