I know Trump's poll numbers are in the toilet, but that's nothing a quick unnecessary invasion of Venezuela that sends U.S. soldiers into harm's way for the holidays can't fix!

Yeah, the thing that's going to bring America back to its glory days is me showing up for my Frontier Airlines flight in a tux.

This, this right here, this is the thing. "We needed a candidate who could excite us and was aligned with us on Gaza and student loans and spelling reform and boat safety issues"

Or, you know, just vote for the non-fascist
In a rational society anyone running against Trump should have been a "good candidate".

There’s a great children’s book about this too, called Brave Girl. My girls now love running around the house shouting “general strike” in Yiddish [kvells]

'Bout sums it up.
There's no mystery to why Trump is kissing Mayor-elect Mamdani's ass.

Trump loves two things: 1) winning and 2) extraordinary media influence.

Trump is a PR whore. He recognizes the exceptional media skills of Mr. Mamdani and wants to draft off him.

That's pretty much it.

The Austin airport is so full of distinctive local restaurants and shops, you'll hope for a long layover there. I recommend a Jo's Coffee Iced Turbo for travel energy. My latest for the Perceptive Travel Blog:

This is a stunning thing to even have to see Members of Congress say out loud. Absolutely chilling. And inspiring.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.
