I’m 67, missing a chunk of lung, and have had 3 knee surgeries. I could pass this tomorrow. ICE isn’t attracting the best.

Loser try-hards doing loser try-hard stuff. "Shock and awe" from an alcoholic YouTuber and a 79 year-old man who looks and sounds like he's about to keel over.
Worrying, but also pathetic. Strong people don't need to do Strong Guy Kabuki Theater. All they project is desperation and weakness.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.
I don't know how to yell any louder.

The only good thing that happened at Quantico is that nobody in the top brass can say they didn’t know their commander in chief is a dementia-riddled dipshit with a double-digit IQ.

One of the biggest topics in the history of this time is how the media simply ignored this guy's ignorance, poor cognition, mental health issues, lack of basic morals and simply treated everything he said as a a serious proposal instead of as the unhinged rambling of a truly foul human being.
