There is no aging guideline for MRIs. If there were, I would have already had several through Medicare. Lies and more lies about everything from Trump. He's physically and mentally failing, and it's obvious. I haven't had to take a cognitive test for dementia yet, either.

Logical fallacy. Trump is also really mixed up about what that cognitive dementia test is for, so I'm betting his brain is being monitored.

I want ALL the closets. All of them. And ALL the bathrooms. I also want AI to come weekly for deep cleaning and organizing checkups.

Any money it's a 357 made of gray plastic. You'll know the MAGA buyers by the number of fingers they have left.

Soon, we women will only be allowed to do what our patriarchal society believes is "women's work." We'll work for free or for minimum wage to teach, nurse, caregive, cook, clean, bear and raise children. Keep us at home -- uneducated, and medically under-insured. Oh, and take away our voting rights.

Put idiots in important positions, and then you're surprised when they can't think clearly, write properly, or choose better words.

This is an incredibly horrible thing to say when women who have been abused and discounted by wealthy men have waited decades for any accountability. As I am a woman, Trump's "Piggy" threat tells me that we girls and women are not equal, protected, or respected in our backwards patriarchal society.

Yes, technically. But you've lost the poetry by thinking the last line up too quickly. Don't make me go all English teacher, here. Dig deeper. It could be really good.

He's too stupid to be VP. Garbage just rolls out of JD Vance's mouth. According to him, 9% of our population is currently not here legally. That's more than twice the actual stat.

The whole Trump family is full of snake oil salesmen. And clueless by choice. All that matters to them is them.

JD Vance has looked in the mirror. He'd rather blame ibuprofen because it can't talk back. He's the useless, unsafe and ineffective one here.

Trump is building an army to keep him in power. He knows our military won't kill fellow Americans. ICE doesn't seem to care. Remember, they have been paid all during the shutdown, too.

Thank you so much, President Obama, for greeting these veterans. They know how much you value their service.

The translation is that Trump doesn't care about any of us or how our insurance works. It's a talking point for him -- nothing more.

As long as I can hear from you and some of your colleagues, I don't care much what the network calls itself. On the other hand, it's not a great name.

Exactly. He's the perfect example of why we need term and age limits. I can say that because I am 3 years younger than Durbin. These Old Democrats are living in the old days where compromise was the key -- and even that cost us so, so much in the long run. Time for fighters, not concession.

He also promised to bail out the farmers, bring down food prices, and promote tariffs to make us all richer. It's a lie. No one will see any money -- unless it's a paid vote scheme.

I don't imagine that Republicans would give any of us actual money. I'm guessing a tax write-off after the first $20,000 medical cost per year -- something more like that.

And all the legal delays work in Trump's favor, as usual. Or he thinks that's a benefit. Americans have been betrayed, and they are paying attention, now.
