Yikes! I didn't do anything! Honest! Maybe I pissed off a delicate snowflake, or maybe it's because I blocked Elon. But I was somehow able to prove that I was a human and get everything restored. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

I still remember his first inauguration, and his vile "American carnage" speech.

I'm sure there are a lot of things that she'd love for someone to explain to her.

When he said, "I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue," everyone thought it was hyperbole.
But he was literally telling the truth. He COULD shoot someone on Fifth Avenue.
He's been getting away with criminal behavior for most of his life, and he knows that he's legally untouchable.

Unless you're ancestors of Native Americans, you're the descendant of immigrants.
My great-grandparents arrived from Ireland and Bohemia in the late 1800s. To quote Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, "Itโ€™s true I didnโ€™t come over on the Mayflower, but I came over as soon as I could."

The MAGA GOP, who claim that they know, understand, can interpret and are experts on both the Constitution and the Bible, regularly prove that they haven't read either.

There's absolutely no doubt that TFG won't finish his term. And the MAGA GOP absolutely does not have a "deep bench."
Cruz? Huckabee? Hawley? Ramaswamy? Seriously?
The MAGA GOP are already turning on each other, and it will get worse when TFG is out of the picture.

Maybe he can get "Einstein visa" recipient Melania to work for him.
But he probably couldn't afford her hourly rate.

This is not serious journalism.
Serious journalism would be describing why this so-called "territorial expansion" would be ridiculous, internationally illegal and a serious affront to our nation's allies.
This is trying to legitimize the incoherent babbling of an idiot.

For anyone who's still on "That Other Site," do you ever see a truly ridiculous and inane post from someone, and you think about responding, but then you look at their profile, see that they joined two months ago and have 18 followers, and decide that it's just not worth it?

When you say "racist billionaire who now controls the GOP," you have to be more specific. Which one?

They're going to have to start a "10-Timers Club" or a "15-Times Club" to keep it exclusive.

Trivia: Without looking it up, who are the five people who have hosted "SNL" 10 or more times?

Hard to imagine they did it with only seven cast members. Now, they have about 37, plus "featured players."

That's giving him too much credit and authority.
It's President Musk.
V.P. Vance.
And TFG is the kid who brings candy to class and everyone has to pretend to like him, even though he smells like a week-old diaper and begs to copy everyone else's homework assignments. (No offense to Ralphie.)

It's President Musk.
Then V.P. Vance (controlled by Musk and Thiel).

Putin and Musk have an agreement to control and share the world, and they will cooperate if necessary. TFG is just the useful idiot both of them are using to achieve their goals.

This reads like a seventh-grader's report on the Panama Canal after he remembered the night before that it was due.

I'm old, but I hope live long enough to see President Pete. Or President AOC.

Which is why, when TFG doesn't finish his term -- and he absolutely won't -- with the unelected MAGA puppet-masters controlling Vance, things could actually get worse.

He hates the same people they hate, and they will vote for that above their own self-interests.

15.12.2024 08:37 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The people who voted for him hate the same people he pretends to hate. That's all they care about.
They don't realize that he has no actual plans to help the American people, and they don't care about the consequences, which will likely includes much higher consumer prices for them.

She's weighing her professional future. If she dumps the lying cheater, she'll have to face the MAGA mob of morons.
But I doubt many of them are "Curb" fans.
Likely, she's hanging on to benefit personally, not professionally, from his WH gig.

Agreed.
Also, the mainstream media gets more clicks and reads from a controversial subject. That's one of the reasons they promoted TFG so much before 2016. Whether you liked him or hated him, you read the stories, and they profited.

If WaPo pulling the Harris endorsement is on the list, the LA Times doing the same thing should be on the list.
I don't consider Fox News as "legacy media."

TFG and his crime family made billions during his time in office -- foreign "donations" at his hotels, Secret Service payments at his golf courses during his weekly golf outings, the $2 billion Jared got from Saudi Arabia, Ivanka's copyrights and patents in China, etc., etc.
