I'm not trying to evade this, just very tired right now. But I've read that she agreed with blowing up the Venezuelan boats. I suggest you look that up, but if I can help more when I'm awake, I will.

I just read about Machado being a Trump ally. Why do we never really seem to win, these days.

Geez, Donald, and after all that hard work ending the Trojan and Peloponnesian Wars...all for nothing...

I'll never in my life understand trying to placate a convicted felon, rapist, fraud, cheat, compulsive liar, and racist and misogynistic scumbag whose entire agenda is greed and petty vengeance.

Scalise: "If Nobel wants to restore what used to be a once dignified prize, they can restore their credibility by awarding President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize. He's earned it."

Seriously. IMHO his enablers are even more mentally challenged than he is; either they cannot see him as he really is, or they do and use him for their own diabolical ends. IOW a not insignificant portion of this country is fkin crazy.

Why isn't this a no-brainer for the committee? He's, like, a peaceful pedophile & rapist & fraud and convicted felon who threatens everyone like a mob boss on steroids? That kind of peaceful? What about the fallout from taking him seriously and forever making the Nobels a bad joke? Are they morons?
