He’ll never pardon her. The Epstein files are too much pressure ’like no one has ever seen’ (who does that sound like 🙄). It’s the only issue that MAGAts have turned on him for, thus far.

Yes. Biggest weapon: humor. Have you EVER seen Trump laugh? He’s the only sitting president to refuse to participate in the White House Correspondents Dinner, a tradition for over 100 years.

President Bone Spurs is having a lot of fun playing pretend at being in the military. A few decades late but congratulations, President BS.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

I created this post because the juxtaposition of angelic Paula White and evil Stephen Miller = the KAOS that we’re living in (where’s Max Smart when we need him?).

Every detail in the White photo is so ridiculous that I laugh whenever I see it. Seriously, does anybody really believe this shit?

A thorough Yahoo article debunking “Richard Strocher” was published yesterday.

A real-life villain is baby faced Brylin Hollyhand, upper left in the photo. He and Kai Trump seem to be the new generation of entitled grifters.

Lindsey Halligan, the attorney selected by Donald Trump to bring criminal charges against James Comey, has never prosecuted a case.

But, like Trump, she did get her start in reality TV — with a brief cameo on South Beach Tow.

Here is Halligan’s newly resurfaced TV moment:

“I couldn’t be prouder of our highest-ranking leaders for maintaining an apolitical face under immense pressure,” said retired Army Maj. General Paul D. Eaton, who served in the Iraq war.
He added, “Pete Hegseth spent millions to fly in all of our generals and admirals to rant about facial hair”

Can you connect the dots between this & the $20 billion the US invested in Argentina? Bessent and his billionaire buddy, Rob Citron, are benefiting. But Argentina is ditching negotiated ‘rules’ (Bessent text photo taken at UNGA) & selling soybeans to China. Farmers getting screwed. A connection?
