Hilarious!


I've known soldiers who have lost limbs in battle that don't whimper so much when talking about their experience

Good ol' Biden was trying to ramp up WWIII. What's that worth? Sure hope we can find the 300,000+ CHILDREN that were "lost" under Biden as well. That doesn't seem to be making the retail news outlets for some reason.

Amazing. President Trump managed to get the US government to enforce a single law.



Anyway...

We will probably never know precisely how much President Trump and / or his "separate" business organizations paid Asif Ali Zardari for that endorsement.



And yet that isn't even remotely close to being the most concerning thing to rise to the surface lately.








Does that sort of rambling narrative remind you of anything?



It's probably not important that, at the start of his second term, President Trump set a new record for the oldest (78 years, 220 days) person ever inaugurated as President of the United States, breaking the record previously set by Joe Biden (78 years, 61 days).


Dementia mostly happens to Democrats, not Republicans.

My bad, I forgot about the Congo.

Objectively speaking, a guy who only sleeps four hours a night is more susceptible to dementia. That said, it probably would have slipped--hundreds of times--during one of the thousands of interviews or question/answer sessions that he's had with the world media. I make more mistakes ordering from Denny's that he's made in the first 230+ days.

And to think he's paying for this publicity...now THAT'S crazy. He can create any type of media buzz for free, just with the two thumbs on his tiny little hands...

I acknowledge your loyalty and devotion to God-emperor Trump, which stands fast against all.

Joe,

I fully realize you are playing devil's advocate, and I applaud you for trying to show the opposing viewpoint.

That said, the posts you have made recently are dangerously close to TDS. Veering farther to the left is not the way to meet in the middle.

I would hope we can all agree that it is OK to criticize the government, regardless of which political party is in power at any given time.


On November 6, 2024, in his electoral victory speech, President-elect Trump stated that "I'm not going to start wars, I'm going to stop wars."

Today, June 21, 2025, the US began bombing Iran, a country with which it was not at war last November, nor at any point since until a few hours ago, and which has not made any hostile actions towards the US.

Is making this observation symptomatic of TDS?
