Turns out those Sleepy Joe accusations were yet another confession.
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

This is how it really works. Chicago has been attacked directly. If The Dictator keeps it up, every American city will feel like this by the spring.

My scale said I gained 3 pounds, so I threw it out and asked a bunch of people I can fire, “What do YOU think I weigh?” Problem solved.

I wonder how Trump feels about taking advice from John McCain’s ghost.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

You might be on Medicaid without realizing it — because it’s called something else in your state.

Ever heard of Apple Health? Soonercare? Medi-Cal? That’s Medicaid.
If they slash it, you could lose coverage and not know why.
Check this list to see what it’s called where you live. 👇

Could we all give the word “resilience” a sabbatical?
It’s used to describe so many situations that it’s becoming “infamous”.
