This costume is brand new
It'd be one thing if he wore that hat or jacket all the time or had worn it on & off for years...it's new. It looks stupid. He's in his 60's & looks like a goofball.

There are men his age, frequently entertainers, who have a "look" and don't look costumey

Most 18 yr olds don't understand their own civil rights.

"ICE’s lower standards are alarming, given that agents have the power to make decisions with life-altering consequences. New ICE agents might be placed in volatile situations without enough experience or judgment to make sound decisions."

Column: Do we really want armed 18-year-olds on ICE raids?

In its rush to expand, ICE is placing immigrants, citizens and its own agents in harm’s way, immigration attorney Raul A. Reyes writes in an LA Times column.

How does she spend her working hours & what is she making that she is most proud of, since she is the fearless leader.
She should set an example.

She has no idea what she's doing. Elon Musk didn't know what he was doing either when he used this technique. He also didn't last six months.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

Imagine being "America first" but allowing Qatar to build a military base on American soil in Idaho.
Guess all you need to occupy US soil is to give a plane to donald. This is the dumbest most irresponsible shit ever. This must be reversed in 2028.

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

Trump gets boosted.
His followers get buried.

If you haven’t gotten your updated COVID or flu shot yet go do it. Science doesn’t care about politics, but politics sure cost us a lot of lives.
