how long is 'eternal' to you? Putin has been in power for a quarter of a century. Orban, 15 yrs. Xi, 13 years. Erdogan, 11 yrs.

and that's not considering that someone younger, but no less authoritarian, inherits the throne from turnip.

I hope it doesn't happen, but it could.

Just read that the doctoral thesis of Nobel Prize-winning ethologist Niko Tinbergen was 32 pages long. Efficient.

If it were a simple health issue, they would handle it at the WH. They are set-up for a range of tests/treatments in house.

Now it might be a good time to point out that Lawler attended Michael Jackson’s trial, going from NY to California as a teenager to attend the proceedings, and he was ejected from the courtroom for his outbursts.

He also did black face. In 2006.

The Jokes: "Since Antifa isn't an actual organization there is nobody to target. What a bunch of idiots the administration is"

The Reality: "ANYBODY they don't like will be simply labeled 'Antifa' and are therefore subject to persecution"

If you have been watching my livestreams, you know exactly what this means. It means we were right in our understanding of who motivated Trump to threaten Maduro regime.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Diane Keaton insisted that the lobster in the Annie Hall scene be released back into the ocean, and since lobsters can live for decades that lobster could still be out there in the Atlantic, probably downplaying its Woody Allen connection after years of bragging about it.
