I hope all this buzz about the "other shoe getting ready to drop" as early as Tuesday

isn't just wishful thinking. It seems to me that every time the expectations of a devastating blow to Trump build up, there is a huge let down when it proves to be nothing actionable.

that seems a bit ominous, like he thinks something is coming out and he wants his idiotic supporters to think it's just "the enemy" at work
