Not a single “trick or treater” showed up at our door last night. Now we’re stuck with all this candy. Sad. At the same time, The Atlantic and the NYT’s are both reporting that top Trump Administration officials, including Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth and Christie Noem, have moved into military housing, houses usually occupied by generals or admirals in the DC area, because they don’t feel safe in their own civilian neighborhoods.

Feels like Trump is a Mafia Don, and his top people are all “going to the mattresses” doesn’t it? (With thanks to Mario Puzo) 

Don’t you feel some odd and perhaps unholy connectivity between parents afraid to let their kids go trick or treating, and the White House sending its top people into military housing, because they’re afraid of strangers coming to the door? 

Doesn’t it feel like they’re getting ready for something? Like the increasing militarization of American cities, and they need a place to hide? With Trump taking what appear to be regular “cognitive testing” and currently out of the country for no apparent reason, don’t you wonder where all this stuff is coming from? Could it be from the mind of Stephen Miller?

Do you feel safe in your home, as the Trump Administration continues to do all it can to create an insurrection, so that they can send our troops out into our streets while our President tears down our White House?
