Cardinals Dolan would be right at home in 1930s Germany.

Appears Trump was happy with his job review from his boss.

Which is exactly why the founding fathers were against large standing armies, and supported citizen militias.

Another example that we are closer to 1930s Germany than anyone should be comfortable.

Based on his "reasoning," God didn't care about the guy who died, standing in the crowd.

Watching Kristi Noem on the Sunday morning shows makes me think that her dog may have committed suicide to avoid being around her.

intertwining of β€œDemocrat” with β€œaliens”. He wants his people to see his political opponents - Democrats and others- as enemies to be deported as well.
(3! Note his use of β€œREAL AMERICANS”. Only his followers are β€œREAL AMERICANS”, the rest of us deserve to be destroyed.

He is out of control.

IMO, more people will die due to this Administration's policies than due to abortion on an annual basis. We won't get a count for it, as such deaths will come over time, for a myriad of reasons [propaganda, lack of funding, removal of safe standards, oversight, to name a few].

GΓ©lineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after.

But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Wonder if there are any tape recordings occurring here. Not saying there are, but always a possibility.

If such acts by Clinton bothered them then, similar acts would bother them now. But it has always been power, not the acts.

For many business leaders, any consumer protection is "government ovverreach." But as soon as things turn bad, they are first in line for a bailout, from the same government.
