Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

That’s a lovely thought. But it could never happen with Donald Trump serving as president, and would never have been necessary if he weren’t.

I'm going to hope the only reason this asshole isn't covered with beer and nachos is because these fans don't know that "88" is white supremacist code for "Heil Hitler" and that the word "NATIONALIST" is in white for a reason.

"FEMA’s response was dysfunctional, delinquent and irresponsible"
UCS's Shana Udvardy unpacks "how poorly the Trump administration’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) handled this disaster, as well as the roles the local and state governments had in contributing to the tragedy." Read her blog:
The Terrible Texas Flood Tragedy Made Worse by Trump Administration's Dysfunctional FEMA Response

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.
It really needs to be pointed out. As someone who has been to actions up to and inculdiong the uprising here in 2020 I have never seen every officer wearing fake name badges all with the name “the others” instead of their actual names.

Prof McBride, USNA 1974, PhD Johns Hopkins, went on to say, “Your acquiescence was a repudiation of the Naval Academy’s historic mission. You may take some solace that the removal of these books was a lawful order. However, such an interpretation runs contrary to larger Constitutional issues ..

this guy is a world class asshole
Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen.
Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.
