Yikes! I didn't do anything! Honest! Maybe I pissed off a delicate snowflake, or maybe it's because I blocked Elon. But I was somehow able to prove that I was a human and get everything restored. 😮💨

When he said, "I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue," everyone thought it was hyperbole.
But he was literally telling the truth. He COULD shoot someone on Fifth Avenue.
He's been getting away with criminal behavior for most of his life, and he knows that he's legally untouchable.

Unless you're ancestors of Native Americans, you're the descendant of immigrants.
My great-grandparents arrived from Ireland and Bohemia in the late 1800s. To quote Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, "It’s true I didn’t come over on the Mayflower, but I came over as soon as I could."

The MAGA GOP, who claim that they know, understand, can interpret and are experts on both the Constitution and the Bible, regularly prove that they haven't read either.

There's absolutely no doubt that TFG won't finish his term. And the MAGA GOP absolutely does not have a "deep bench."
Cruz? Huckabee? Hawley? Ramaswamy? Seriously?
The MAGA GOP are already turning on each other, and it will get worse when TFG is out of the picture.

This is not serious journalism.
Serious journalism would be describing why this so-called "territorial expansion" would be ridiculous, internationally illegal and a serious affront to our nation's allies.
This is trying to legitimize the incoherent babbling of an idiot.

Hard to imagine they did it with only seven cast members. Now, they have about 37, plus "featured players."

That's giving him too much credit and authority.
It's President Musk.
V.P. Vance.
And TFG is the kid who brings candy to class and everyone has to pretend to like him, even though he smells like a week-old diaper and begs to copy everyone else's homework assignments. (No offense to Ralphie.)

Putin and Musk have an agreement to control and share the world, and they will cooperate if necessary. TFG is just the useful idiot both of them are using to achieve their goals.

Which is why, when TFG doesn't finish his term -- and he absolutely won't -- with the unelected MAGA puppet-masters controlling Vance, things could actually get worse.

He hates the same people they hate, and they will vote for that above their own self-interests.

The people who voted for him hate the same people he pretends to hate. That's all they care about.
They don't realize that he has no actual plans to help the American people, and they don't care about the consequences, which will likely includes much higher consumer prices for them.
