If a 35-year-old can be president (according to the Constitution), then a 33-year-old can be mayor of a city
The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

When Dear Leader was born, winter turned to spring, a star was born, and a double rainbow appeared in the sky
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "To the point about Elon -- it's one more illustration of what a good guy he is. And people who don't like Elon have never met Elon Musk. He is truly one of the most gentle creatures and sweet men. He's exceptional in so many ways."

This is the worst timeline for geographers...
Trump: "When you take away that artificial line that looks like it was done by a ruler ... you look at that beautiful formation of Canada and the US, there is no place anywhere in the world that looks like that. And then if you add Greenland, that's pretty good."
