I began this "Will Rogers" shtick because I was struck by how timely the man's insights remained.
Human nature is a constant, for better or worse.
Rogers was a simple cowboy whose wit and humor made him one of the most influential voices in the world.
There is more power in laughter than we realize.

Why, the United States is the biggest business institution in the world, and they got only one vice-president, and nobody has ever found anything for him to do."

I said from the beginning, MAGA would stand by Trump even if it meant the lives of their children.
That wasn't hyperbole.
I think RFK and his freak show vaccine panel have made it clear that they will sacrifice their own children, just to own the libs.
Because that's how cults work.

Am I the only one who thinks that Trump's "Peace Prize" from FIFA is the most blatant participation trophy ever devised?
I mean, really, how stupid would you have to be to actually put that thing on as if it were bona-fide?
It's hard to be embarrassed for Trump, but I was today.

It's been heartbreaking to realize that:
A- Trump was an IQ test.
B- America failed.

Words are important.
There is no "administration" just a crime ring.
The "GOP" no longer exists, there is only the Cult of Trump.
"ICE" is just another jack-booted Gestapo.
You can call them "Republicans in Congress" but treasonous pigs is a damn sight closer to the truth.

It feels like we're entering this point in the Trump presidency. All Hell is breaking loose, but they're still filling their pockets as fast as they can.😐

The world will never forget that America GUARANTEED Ukraine's territorial sovereignty when they gave up their nukes, on our word.
America's word is garbage now. No one will ever forget that when it matters, America cuts and runs.
That is the legacy we can thank every republican for.
