Trump used the word "oil" 20 times today. He used the word "democracy" 0 times.

We can keep clutching our pearls and shouting “this is illegal,” but nothing changes until he is stopped. Strongly worded letters won’t help. Congressional condemnations won’t help. He needs to be impeached and sent to jail. Full stop. Anything less keeps us sliding deeper into hell.
