From soybeans to spirits. Trump wipes out whole chunks of US industry because Putin has kompromat. Simple as that

Maybe Trump should call up the President of Antifa and engage in peace talks. Might win him a Nobel

My personal theory is that every once in a while we come across a person or people whose skills and talents are so far beyond their predecessors and peers, who demonstrate a discontinuity rather than an extension in their field that they could only be from another civilization. Space aliens

Trump not knowing that he was the POTUS on 1/6 is more than enough to 25th him. Not just an opportunity. It's an obligation to do so

Greene's taking a heavy dose of, 'Support my senate run or I'll keep turning against you'. Similar to the Rx Putin takes daily

Struggling cities and counties should reach out to China for aid. The WH will melt down
