No surprise here. Ferns are well known to be among the most antisemitic plants.

It’s a good thing Donnie speaks fluent Slovenian. Otherwise I don’t know how they’d be able to communicate.

The best strategy is _definitely_ to keep talking about the child rapist and sex trafficker JEFFREY EPSTEIN. Keep it up, Donnie, and soon people will forget all about your friend, the man who raped and trafficked countless young girls, JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Just wondering if Christian Mike could point us to the place in the Bible where Jesus commands us to shield the men who rape young girls. I can’t seem to find it.

You know, it might not be a bad thing for Democrats if the national media spent some time discussing the appropriateness of Donald Trump having sex with 15 year old girls.

You mean like how he was 35 when she was starting kindergarten? Or how he was 49 when she graduated high school? Totally un-creepy stuff like that?

What “sucks” according to these Republicans? The not getting away with it. The rape of countless young girls? Not a concern.

But that lost money is more than made up for by the $750 trillion in tariffs we’re taking in. So….

I’m sure that’s just a coincidence. I mean, Donnie’s the most transparent president in the history of presidents and the history of transparency!!
