On tonight's episode of The Joy Reid Show, Sleepy Don's White House Correspondence clown show is tomorrow. As such it's time to reflect on all of the things that are happening during his administration. You know, things like attacking civil rights orgs, and ousting the Navy Secretary to replace him with a witch believing, racist nut job. War profiteering and, of course, taking a nice nap in the middle of a press conference. Just normal US Presidential things.
