I played in the NFL, which, I promise you, has access to healthcare strategies that the average person just doesn’t have, and where cost really isn’t an issue.

You don’t do MRIs on a whim.
I agree it’s a bit unusual. But I would think the president has access to healthcare strategies that the average person just doesn’t have and the cost isn’t really an issue.

If God is very intentional with what He makes, and if there are gays, lesbians, and transgenders in the world, then God must have intentionally made gays, lesbians, and transgenders.

So who are YOU to question what God decides to create?

I have been saying and will keep saying that Trump and his people are vulnerable to an opponent who embodies a certain style of masculinity. When Kelly called them in unserious, he basically called into question their manhood.
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

What? Trump's a tall, slim 6 ft. 3 in., 215 lbs. Perfect complexion. Beautiful head of all natural hair. Superior athlete who could've played MLB & wins every golf tournament he enters. Genes so good he may live to 200.

Trump betrayed Ukraine, secretly colluded with Russians against Europe, and has a secret line with the Kremlin outside of official overview, hidden from everyone including US spy / national security agencies. These are the reddest of flags. A spy sits at the White House.

Why would Trumpers care about laws? Congress doesn't oversee them. Courts don't rein them in. The president doesn't expect his subordinates to do the right thing and doesn't reprimand them if they don't.

If you're Hegseth, Noem, or Bondi, there's no downside. www.rawstory.com/pete-hegseth...

The corruption is so blatant and habitual that it doesn't even occur to reporters to ask anymore.
If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory.
With Trump, it's so common that most Americans don't even notice it now.
Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."
