I don't know if I'm getting rid of my account on the other platform yet, but I figured I'd give this a try.

About me? Born, raised, and live in Pittsburgh, with 20 year in Louisiana and AZ in the mix, too. Love the Pirate (sigh), the Penguins, and Utah HC. Genetically compelled to follow Steelers

Q: Are you going to work with your administration to designate antifa a foreign terror organization?

TRUMP: You mean anti-terror?

Q: Antifa

TRUMP: Antifa?

Q: A foreign terror organization

TRUMP: Would you like to see it done? I'd be glad to do it. Does everybody agree? It sounds good to me

He's had 8 years to share the plans he said were coming in two weeks. Nothing.

Q: Have you asked the DOJ to look at possible charges against Pritzker and Johnson?

TRUMP: I've seen the law ... I've understood that and I read it today in numerous journals that that's illegal ... that's a criminal offense

Trump to a right-wing influencer: "Do you know the name of any of the funders? Because if you do, I'd like you to give them to Kash or Pam or Kristi as soon as you can. That's all of you. These are people that do not have good intentions for the country. That's treasonous, probably."

Trump: "Just before the election an answer was changed by Kamala. She gave a horrible death defying--- election defying answer. And they took the answer out & replaced it with another answer that she gave 5 minutes later having to do with a different subject but at least it wasn't election defying"

Bondi: "Bondi: "Just like we did with cartels, we are going to take the same approach, President Trump, with antifa -- destroy the entire organization from top to bottom. We are going to take them apart."

I sincerely thought we'd never get to this place until the first time this man was elected. Then I thought there was no way we'd elect him again.

SORTOR: I took this flag from the man that was burning it in the street

TRUMP: Do you know who he is?

SORTOR: Oh yeah

TRUMP: So why don't you give it to Pam. Give it to the attorney general and we'll start prosecutions

They need to take him to Portland.

Trump on Portland: "It's like the movies you see for the kids, I guess not only the kids, adults also, where you have these bombed out cities and these bombed out people. It's like, worse than that."

"We took freedom of speech away" should be in every campaign ad moving forward.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

Mike should have been going to folk Masses in the 1970s. Singing this hippie-dippie song is one of my earliest memories of church. He never got the message.

Pens are going to be better than a lot of people think. Not world beaters...but better.

Kindel looks like he belongs in the NHL. Smart, smart player.
