Anyone still questioning the relevance of the #TrumpEpsteinFiles should try to answer this: Would the 🍊💩🤡 have dared to bomb Venezuela and kidnap Marduro if they had the full files? These files would be more powerful as a deterrent than a set a nukes.

Some dorkwad told me I was jealous of Elon Musk because he is the “most successful person on the planet”. I responded that I have one very important thing that Elon Musk will never have: Enough.

New Year‘s recommended reading:

50-70 children and close to nobody sitting in jail and only a few even named 🤮

A US president who has kinder words for Vladimir Putin than Rob Reiner is a disgrace to his country.

Trump describes himself as the first Jewish President. No. But he is a schmuck, a shlemiel, a meshugge putz who only ever knows how to kvetch. He has done bupkis for America, only himself. He’s all spiel, but he’s just a ligner, a gonif. He’s the ultimate paskudnik. 🖖
