Backlash against Trump & Elon from his voters is very real, folks. This is just 1 story out of Parkersburg, WV; a state in which Trump won w/70% of the vote. His voters even joined Democrats in protest. Itโs only 1 loc & group amidst the myriad of issues. Momentum. โจ

I enjoyed having a loving husband for 44+ years. We each took the lead on what we did best: finances, me, plumbing & computers, him, kids, both of us. He changed diapers, bathed kids, cooked, did laundry. He was a unicorn. He could also be a PITA, but so could I. We actually liked each other.

Right, because Trump would never dishonor such a document...unless it was to line his pockets.

Bernie Sanders: "Saving money by dismantling the Department of Education, which, by the way, is illegal and unconstitutional, so that the billionaire class can receive huge tax breaks, is terrible public policy and morally reprehensible."

Trump would blame it on Biden, then offer to buy the devastated real estate for a pittance.
