It is very telling that the juvenile catfight between Donald Trump and Elon Musk isn't a disagreement over how to make America great again. It's all about THEM. Because that is the only thing they ever really cared about--themselves.

There’s been no doubt where this was headed. Trump repeatedly said he intended to send Americans to foreign prisons. Justice Sotomayor got that. The conservatives on the Court have no excuse, but they acted like they expected Trump to fall in line & obey, when all evidence was to the contrary.

As I watched Trump speaking about Canada earlier today, he said Canada and the United States were separated "...decades ago."
He said "decades" because he had no idea how long it had been.
It has been 157 years, to be exact. Trump is an idiot.
