Yeah, but did he steal from charities? While also being a congenital liar? And a convicted rapist? And Epstein’s pal?

Okay but comparing Trump to Bond villains is insulting to Bond villains

The idea was that every inch of her was covered by gold, causing fatal suffocation.

At least 40% chance Graham Platner's loss in the primary due to his Nazi tattoo leads him to complain about cancel culture, appear with Bari Weiss, and switch parties

So the Dem choices are the anti-Semite or the really old lady?

That would conflict with Infrastructure Week

Ignoring landmarks has been the DJT playbook since 1979. Google "Trump" and "Bonwit Teller."
