Canada is sovereign. Mexico is sovereign. These are not hard concepts. Putin told Trump that if he shanked his own brother, others would fear him. He never counted on his brother shrugging it off and coming into the boards elbows-up.

It MIGHT be this Jesus guy they keep talking about. They say he's coming back, and by all accounts, he'll be takin' names!

Based on the replies here, I'm sure that I'm not the only one who can recite my childhood phone number (including the Oxford exchange) but also my high school locker combination lock settings and student number.

Wait! He has the heart of a humanitarian? Which one? Tell me it's not Jane Goodall's! Does he keep it on ICE - is that why he authorized ICE? This raises so many questions! 🤪🤔🤡

Pay attention to what they do NOT what they say! As a RN, I’m disgusted RFK Jr, a whacko, anti-vaxxer, heroin addict, brain worm infested idiot is over our health. 😡 There are 153 unvaccinated children quarantined in SC because of a measles outbreak, when there is a safe and effective vaccine. 😡

Good for you! We had some collectable items that we sold some time ago and the thing that mattered most was not the cash they brought it, but knowing that someone else really wanted them and would continue to enjoy them when we couldn't.

I'd bet that Stone advises him to stop referring to Watergate in a negative way. Had Nixon really owned it, the way Trump revels in his actions, would the Republicans of the day ACTUALLY have voted for him to be removed? We keep hearing that they threatened to convict if he didn't resign, but ... 🤔

I'd LOVE to see Bill Hader do his Mike Johnson impression. Every appearance of Johnson seems to be intended as a side-eye impression of Hader as it is.
