Doocy asks Trump what the Declaration of Independence means to him. Trump: "Well it is what it says...", looks at it, "It's a declaration; it's a declaration of unity and love and respect and it means a lot". No, Donnie, it is the signal to a monarchy that the colonies wouldn't take shit anymore.

This is what Elon Musk and his orc lieutenants *know* they’re stirring up. They’re trying to get some psycho to do the deed(s) for them. It’s unbelievable to me we American taxpayers are funding this fascist scumbag (who comes from a very long line of fascist scumbags, to boot).

Fauci needs to sue this man into bankruptcy, if only to dissuade the other inveterate liars of this administration.

It’s exactly what Jesus would say.

Yeah, trying to get the CIA to cover up your illegal action, when you’re president, is just no big deal. This says so much about JD Vance and the whole corrupt Trump crew. Unfortunately, his dismissal of a serious crime won’t even be a 12-hour news story.

9 years ago, NBC gave this woman $20 million a year to host a morning talk show and be one of the top faces of its news division.

Trump's son-in-law in official meetings, has no role in the Admin, no security clearance. Rubio says they were jist catching up....in the meetings.

The man is an idiot. In simple terms, euphemisms like this do not translate well in conversation with people whose English is not their first language. You come off as pompous and lacking empathy.
