I am on a journey to find my true self. At my age, I have already done everything I was supposed to do, so now I have the freedom to write my own unique tale. How much fun can I get into before I slide across that final home plate?
Seems right he is a convicted felon.
Donald J. Trump’s official portrait as the 47th President of the United States has been unveiled, offering a symbolic look at his legacy. Thoughts?

Exactly!
A lot of people are criticizing this, but if he can get just one of these simple goals done each day he’s got left in office, he’s solid
In his farewell address, Biden calls for:
An end to dark money
18 year term limit on Supreme Court Justices and ethics reform
A ban on stock trading in Congress
Amending the Constitution to say no president is immune from crimes committed in office

He literally LIES about everything!
Trump made a lot of big promises on the campaign trail about what he’d do if he won. But he’s already walked back many of those commitments, from lowering the costs of groceries to ending the war in Ukraine "in 24 hours."
Who else is NOT surprised? ✋

Ummm . . . "bad" isn't the standard to prosecute ANYONE. It's actually "criminal." Let's hope any future attorney general can keep those concepts straight.
Whitehouse to Bondi:
You’ve said you’re going to prosecute DOJ prosecutors and investigators?
Bondi: I said that on tv and I said “if they’re bad” they’ll be prosecuted.

Half of all Gen Xers have less than $10,000 saved for retirement.
You’d think people our age are scared to death that they won’t be able to retire on time.
But that’s far from our top concern.

For over a decade, Pete Hegseth said women shouldn’t serve in combat. He started singing a different tune once he got picked to be Defense Secretary. But if he’s just saying whatever he needs to say to get confirmed, he could flip back to his long-held view after getting the job.

So Bondi said she neither listened to the recording of Trump telling the GA Sec of State to "find me 11,780 votes" nor did she know Kash Patel published a de facto enemies list in his book.
Really? If true, she's clearly NOT interested in informing herself on the issues of corruption in government.
