This is my private account. I am retired and doing a podcast. I have a nine month old who keeps me super busy, but I love it, she’s amazing. I’m an American living overseas. The Clint Initiative Podcast is my other account.

My old account is finally back up. Ten days of hell, but just in time for me to do some podcasting. Will start testing this month.

I watched that clip and at the end they talk about his actual height, oblivious to the fact that he has demonstrated, he is a very small man.

He has two billion reasons and zero Fuc$s to give, who wants to know?

This is why we can’t have good things and further why we deserve to lose what we won’t fight for.

That is just embarrassing….. I would spell my own name wrong before the name of my state, not bragging, i just would.

The Americans starving these children wear crucifixes and call themselves “Christians.”

People are not what they tell you they are; they are how they behave.

Oversight is not possible, they might have to unplug Congress, count to ten then plug it back in. 2026 is almost here.

It’s actually funnier if she didn’t want to cross, got angry, but then remembered she did want to cross…..

Before all this, there were millions of people who honestly believed, the whole Epstein thing was just more fake news. They thought that there really wasn’t much more to it than all we’d seen. That we really didn’t want to see or even know. Now those millions and millions more know what’s up.

Which is the real irony…He’s taking what little time he has left to literally be the WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD…All caps for added emphasis for just how bad he is and has always been. That is the real irony…we knew who he was even before he became president the first time… then he was elected again.

You don’t pay people, they don’t show up, you hint and say they may not get back pay, fewer will show up and many will find better; more secure jobs. People take government jobs for the security. Not for the pay. Take the pay away you remove an important part of their security. They will move on.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

I’ll admit it, I chuckled, this hits.

lol. lol. lol. lol. All of Congress should be charged with Contempt of Congress….. lol lol lol.
When all is said and done. This regime will end. This president will likely leave office not giving any of them a pardon. I’m sure his plan is to be president for life so pardons won’t be needed.
lol…
