Going to start arresting Democratic governors and mayors, and as he said re NYC "we have a lot of power to run things in the federal government" if he doesn't like election results.

And I have to be dreaming because it still looks to me like congressional Democrats still think this is business as usual, telling themselves they won't be next as long as they make statements not backed up by action.

Maybe I need some rose colored glasses.
