JD Vance is an awful human being and that should be stated each and every day.

You want to know why? He's stupid.

JB: makes money at casinos

Trump: opens one and drives it to bankruptcy.

DIFFERENT.

Exactly!😂 Fascinating. So many questions.

American journalism has failed America. They just chase one story after another. Never connecting them back to the real story: ending democracy.

What they are doing is propping up a right wing ideology that does not work. Another example of thier wrong thinking and incompetence.

That's how you should be framing these decisions.

The President seems unwell. From his physical symptoms to his visible cognitive decline, the American people deserve clear answers about his ability to serve. I’ve formally called on the White House Physician to provide transparency and the truth about President Trump’s health.

All of PCA's antics are ridiculous.

Is he trying to prove that he cares more and working harder than anyone else on the field?

Because it's not true.

What will it take for MSM to call Trump unworthy of his office and call for his resignation. It's past time.

If Biden...If Obama...
