So, Saudi Arabia and Russia are in charge of United States now. Their man Kush is on the job.
I’d rather question why is Kushner there and why is he laying out a vision? We did not vote him into any gov position nor the senate we voted for has approved his candidacy.
This isn’t a grey zone anymore, it’s 50 shades of grey.

Its true, we liberals do oppose cold-blooded murder.

Gentle reminder that J.D. Vance broke a 50-50 tie in the Senate to confirm Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. There were 50 republicans who elected this incompetent.

President Hernandez was responsible for smuggling 500 TONS of cocaine into the United States! He was the top dog; the Pablo Escobar figure! He wasn’t just “selling drugs in that country.”
Reporter: You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the US—
Trump: Right
Reporter: Can you explain why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?
Trump: If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president

One sign that your brain is super good is when your doctors keep giving you cognitive tests
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

I'm sorry but Andrea Stella is one of the worst TPs on the grid and I'm tired of everyone pretending he's not because of his past work, particularly at Ferrari. This man claimed Mclaren weren't expecting everyone to pit under the safety car. This is incompetence, there isn't another word for it

“What part of your body was the MRI on?”
Trump: no idea, but it wasn’t the brain!
90% probability MRI was on his brain.
Trump also says it’s ok to release it. Journalists, do your thing.

When a person goes to get an MRI but has no idea why they're getting one or what part of their body doctors want to check out, it might not be a great idea to let said person be in control of the fate of the world.

Also Trump: But I'm going to make thinly sourced claims that Maduro is a drug kingpin so I can rationalize an illegal war based on that claim.
