Just a few moments ago I awoke on tv (not live) CinC Trump in the White House explaining his latest war. Among other things, he said this will make certain the Iran will never have nuclear weapons. He did not say anything about how he would end the possibility of The Russian Empire just selling or e...

Recent testimony in congress indicates to me that my local county government gives more screening and training for school crossing guards than ICE gives to new agent hires.

BB, I agree with your post above. completely.

I have not tried confirm it, but Sunday in a zoom discussion of Hitler and the collapse the Weimar republic, the statement was made that in Vanity Fair in 1990 there was an interview with Trump's first wife (as they were in a messy divorce) in which Ivana claimed Donald always cared around a book, s...

Re: Wish I lived in Illinois so I could vote for her!
If she wins, Trump will have the FBI seize the ballots because she obviously stuffed the boxes (all over the state of Illinois) with votes from invaders from Greenland. Snailgate.

Re: And the award for the best shade throwing goes to...
By the way, the Washington Post today had an interesting little item pointing out that the Official Federal holiday calendar still calls this day George Washington's Birthday. It has never been official changed to 'president day ' and so far Trump has not noticed.
