[Have no idea what President Trump is doing re Iran.  Every day past the ‘red line’ continues to be a day of hundreds more executions of innocent Iranians.  What in hell is there to negotiate with this regime other than give them a choice to vamoose or kill them??  But you start by whumping them.  Tik Tok.  gjr]

    Funny …..Dr. Newsom wasn’t able to make a concrete diagnosis of the previous Oval Office resident.

    Gavin Newsom Accuses Donald Trump of ‘Sundowning’ Amid Dementia Concerns

    Wonder why that is?

    “All roads lead back to the Pussy Grabber in Chief”

    The Biden admin had 4 years to search the ranch and couldn’t be bothered.

    RH is amazing in his many ways to sink deeper into TDS. The Dems are far more involved with Epstein than Trump. Epstein was a Dem and hated Trump and tried to help the Dems get Trump.

    And RH still thinks the Dems hid all of this for years to protect Trump? RH’s thinker done got broke big-time due to TDS.

    Keep’em coming, RH – you are a near-daily reminder of what destruction TDS does to a person’s grey matter.

    “ICEhole muppets are clueless…”

    She wasn’t a citizen and she had been caught kiting checks. Boo Hoo. Now she knows how most of the Jan 6ers feel. Except the Dems do this on purpose to American citizens.

    ICE has, and is, ridding our nation of 10s of thousands of illegals and RH gets all het up about ONE little faux pas.

    Law enforcement throws a few totally innocent folks in the clink every year due to law enforcement being run by humans and humans make mistakes coupled together with ye olde ShitHappens. Shall we condemn all law enforcement and just end it? Possibly RH thinks he has never made a mistake in his life? The Dems fear machine is cranking into overdrive as Trump rids the country of their precious illegals. American citizens have far, far, more to actually fear from illegals than ICE. That’s just statistics – but RH’s brain is addled with TDS induced hysteria, so facts and reality don’t stand a chance with him and his sort.

    Given the death of Drag Queen Story Hour, maybe there’s a certain amount of correction going on.

    You have to wonder what the historians of the future will think. Insane children with signs fighting cops over mass illegal immigration, men in dresses, Affluent White Female Urban Liberals crying into their cell phones about Nazis, child mutilation as a preferred Karen hobby and medical profit item, wet foot-dry foot abortion rights, the death of useful occupations.

    Maybe it’s the internet that broke the political Left, hyper loquacious people given their opportunity for temporary stardom.

    So is the future AIs speaking in machine-generated languages and Han Chinese? Rebuilding ‘merica? A resurgence in blue-collar trades as it turns out that hands are harder to duplicate than the half-bright generating PowerPoint charts and Zoom calls? Hard to tell.

    MAGA is jeffy’s Boogeyman or imaginary playmate if you will. MAGA is everywhere and responsible for all bad things. Who left dirty dishes in the sink…MAGA. What forgot to clean up the dogs mess….MAGA. Who left dirty underwear at the bottom of the stairs……MAGA. jeffy is scared of MAGA but secretly thrilled with him too as he gives jeffy a purpose in life. Whining about MAGA is much more satisfying than doing chores around the house or going shopping with his wife (I suspect she is grateful for this aspect of MAGA’s presence as well).

    Thanks, RH – you’ve pointed out that a town in Maine has been experiencing about 1 firearm related incident a month for the past 6 years and the local officials and the Biden admin did nothing about removing illegals. Since ICE came in and did their lawful and voter-mandated duty, there have been none. The time lines are clearly stated. Are you having trouble reading and understanding the graphic? Perhaps a remedial adult ed course would help.

    You’re welcome!

    What’s not clear is whether or not you will be allowed to ‘mask up’ to participate. Or if your snow shovel will have to be registered with the state.

    Yeah – the Dems fighting against requiring IDs to vote is just a “talking point”.

    Right. RH isn’t moving the goal post, he’s just flat out trying to get away with a shit-eating lie.

    Fish, don’t tell us, but it is all Biden’s fault, right?…

    “Just after 6:30 p.m. tonight, the President of the United States stood before a room of governors at a formal White House dinner and opened his remarks by confessing that he believes his own Cabinet or maybe others in the room want to overthrow him.

    “Every time they look in the mirror, every time they wake up or go to sleep, they look at that mirror, and they say, ‘I should be president, not him.’”

    And he said it with a slight smile. But there was nothing funny about it. It was raw paranoia on display for the world to see. And whether the fear was real or imagined, most presidents would have known how dangerous it is to say those words out loud. He didn’t. And the spectacle of what he said then, and the rest of his extended ramblings, deepened the sense that something is profoundly wrong”
