He looks like Konstantin Chernenko. They're gonna have to start wheeling him in and out of meetings in some kind of cart. 🙂
I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it.

If Senator Mark Kelly does not win the Democratic Nomination for President he should be the Senate Minority/Majority Leader. He is what a leader looks, talks and acts like….

Gupta: It’s clear that there’s age-related cognitive decline.
He’s confused a lot. He sometimes mumbles sort of incoherent nonsense when he’s asked a question in the Oval Office.
Clearly they’re not getting MRIs just because, because that’s the moment that we live in. There’s a reason

The President doesn't want you standing up and speaking out against him, so he's coming after me to intimidate all of us.

Without information from reliable sources, our safest guess about the shootings in DC is that, like the "assassination attempt" on Trump in Butler in '24, it's a "false flag" operation.
Its purpose, like that of the Butler fiasco, is to inflame public opinion on behalf of MAGA.
Don't be taken in.

This is Link. His ball suddenly went missing and then reappeared trapped under his bed. He called his brother Otto in for backup, knowing they'd need all three of their collective brain cells to get it back. 12/10 for both (IG: thegoldenbruvs)

One significant way to fix the federal deficit? Dramatically raise the minimum wage across our country. It will cause an increase in tax collections, much less people on federal assistance, and health outcomes will improve causing less reliance on federal health programs.
