LOCK DONNIE UP!
Wishful thinking. Sandy (OBL) says Donnie is above the law and I tend to agree. Both his personal lawyer and his CFO were convicted but the Con Man skates away. Yes, you Peanuts are right - we do have a two tier justice system. Donnie and OJ lawyer up and skate.
In other news:
Victoria Nuland, third-highest ranking US diplomat and critic of Russia’s war in Ukraine, retiring
(AP)
Pro-Soviet MAGA rejoices.
Who will lead the war cries now shrike?
Victoria Nuland's Buttplug 3, I suppose.
"Sandy (OBL) says Donnie is above the law and I tend to agree."
Nope. I said you Democrats have been consistently wrong about "bombshell tipping point walls closing in beginning of the end" since 2017. Your credibility is torched. So I won't believe Trump will go to prison just because MSNBC says so; I need to actually see him being led to prison with my own eyes.
Quoting people accurately. You should try it sometime. Here, I'll quote you accurately:
The Dotard will join his convict team soon. - SPB2, May *2021*
Speaking of your torched credibility, here's the employment history of the warmonger whose retirement you're mourning: "Deputy National Security Advisor to Vice President Cheney from 2003-2005."
LOL
whose retirement you’re mourning
Mourning? Are you having hot flashes? Sevo has a drug for that - Droxy. Donnie approved - cures Covid too.
turd, the TDS-addled ass-clown of the commentariat, lies; it’s all he ever does. turd is a kiddie diddler, and a pathological liar, entirely too stupid to remember which lies he posted even minutes ago, and also too stupid to understand we all know he’s a liar.
If anything he posts isn’t a lie, it’s totally accidental.
turd lies; it’s what he does. turd is a lying pile of lefty shit.
Is that intended as a particular configuration of privileged knowledge or a failed enactment of symbolic violence?
Bizarre covid reference. Let's run with it though.
How does your favorite President measure up by this standard: 220,000 deaths. If you hear nothing else I say tonight, hear this: Anyone who is responsible for that many deaths should not remain President of the United States.
I sure hope there have been fewer than 220,000 covid deaths in the US since Jan 2021. Far fewer, in fact, since Biden has the advantage of the vax already existing when he took over.
"buT iT diDn'T kiLL tHe viRuS"
Looks like Pluggo is still pretending that drugs that are effective anti-inflammatories don't alleviate Pericarditis and other types of Covid related inflammation, because Trump.
Was it Secretary Hay who said;
"America wants Pericarditis alive or Rasuoli dead" ?

If Reason fined you $25 for every time you’ve repeated that for free, it wouldn’t have to hit readers for the funds needed to replace the donors your observations have driven to quit in simple disgust.
'They're gonna put you back in chains!' - Joe Biden, prophet
Now we have over 120 million dead from COVID.
– Joe Biden
IT is a whole new level of stupid when you hear yourself say such things and still don't get that you are a moron.,
There's more than one kind of immunity and Trumo is having President Orban to dinner on Friday:

Stuff your fake website up your ass and then please fuck off and die, shit-pile.
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv....
Is your idea of a real website one that really celebrates unreason? The management should start charging the likes of you to comment.
The Publisher is at liberty to continue with free commenting while charging those addicted to them a dollar per gross and gratuitous obscenity published .
And two dollars per repetition .
This morning, Meta shut down all its platforms for 90 minutes in order to reconfigure for intensified election interference. Expect mass disappearances of content and accounts from Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Are they also adding Meta +?
If $25 bucks doesn’t stop the commentariat from shitting on Koch brand Nevertrump narratives, they can just hand over their credit card data to the FBI and let them fix the problem.
Notice no other payment options aside from a credit card. You’d think a libertarian website would at least do crypto.
Edit: Only sorta joking.
He will pardon himself and the GOP would use that as an excuse to block impeachment
Impeachment for what?
Orange mean tweets. Or what do they call tweets on X now that it's 'formerly Twitter'?
Bubba, you could more easlly rent a billboard and post "I know nothing about anything." 3 crazy things to say, not any one of them likely
If Trump is elected it will be totally due to Biden pushing to paint himself as the unifier, the healer of the economy, the friend of family
