María Corina Machado was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by a group of Florida Republicans that includes (drum roll....) Marco Rubio!

I'll bet he's in Trump's thoughts tonight. That is, if it can actually think.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE GRIFT!!!!

Hunter while dad was VP, received money totaling possibly a couple of MILLION.
Don Jr. & siblings BILLIONS!

If a butterfly lives 1 million seconds, that would be 11 days.
If the butterfly lives 1 billion seconds= 31+yrs!

You know who takes a cognitive test? People whose family members suspect their loved one is suffering from dementia. If he kept getting “perfect” scores…they wouldn’t keep administering them. My take? He blew the first one he ever took. Now, they’re tracking the decline. I’d bet my hot coffee on it.
