That evil look he gave Kristen. 👹 He struggled to stand, his feet are crooked. He berated her and then leaned on her for support to stand up straight to walk. A very disturbing scene. Are MAGAts convinced that he is mentally ill yet?
I watched the video clips leading up to his tantrum and exit. It’s like a switch went off in his head from how he acted in the first portion of the interview and you could practically see the venom spewing from that pie hole of his. He is insane, literally out of his fucking mind. Every answer to her ?’s was a lie, and the force with which he told them confirmed he is not of this world. That shit between his ears is seriously off the rails. He is living completely in a reality he has totally made up.
I can't speak for anyone else but I think that, to be President, one has to be able to at least maintain a modicum of composure and that, as we've all seen many times from asshat before, is something he cannot do. With him it's always rage, moan, gripe, groan and rage some more. He is as far from stable as can get.
Roy Cohn saw that mean streak and knew had a protege to mold. I’ve never seriously wished anyone dead, but the best thing for this country would the departure of Trump from his mortal coil.
Bingo, Merry! Just think of this--maybe (although of course, Bimbo would NEVER admit it) he got shook up and 'scared" because it him that Kristen is smarter than he is???? And OMG--a woman, at that!!!!!!!!!!!!
Raging out of control. Would not surprise me if he’s a step away from sending hitmen after the people he hates the most. He appears to be just that volatile. Walker is courageous to have pressed him with the critical questions.
I’m often concerned about President Obama because trump literally HATES that Obama was elected POTUS, and because Barack so publicly mocked and humiliated him at the 2011 WHCD (which was absolutely hysterical, and BRILLIANTLY delivered!)
So I think Trump views Barack to be his worst nightmare, his arch-enemy, his most despised nemesis.
Exactly. All that. And Barack is COOL! He’s hip, he’s fun, he’s extremely popular. And he’s got the moves. He’s comfortable in his own skin. Did you ever see this appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ show?
That's a terrifying thought, but considering what he does to people he knows--and even those who Used to be his "allies," it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
Did I hear right. He has no plans to bring home Americans from Iran? Or who they even are? How about you spend Monday doing that and stay the hell out of NY. You troublemaking crusty curmudgeon
Someone probably told him about the series Homeland so he won't take any chances in having radicalized Americans brought back. That's just the way his warped mind works.
Trump - “You're either crooked or you're stupid. You know these elections are rigged. Your network knows they are rigged. Let's call it quits. Because I've had enough. Thank you darling. Welker: I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview."
… Trump then unclipped his microphone, threw it on the ground, stepped on it and walked out.”
Geez, I still miss Tim Russert. He held everyone’s feet to the fire. He was the BEST.
And trump would NEVER have had the testicular fortitude to go toe to toe with Tim!
Tim definitely set an extraordinarily high bar. Tough act to follow.
“ Tim Russert is widely considered one of the greatest television journalists in American history. During his 17-year tenure as the moderator of NBC's Meet the Press, he transformed the show into a premier destination for political discourse and a benchmark for holding public officials accountable.”
“Russert was famous for his exhaustive research. He would spend hours poring over the record to catch guests in contradictions, often playing old audio or video clips to test their consistency.”
“He was highly regarded for asking probing, hard-hitting questions without resorting to personal attacks or aggressive bullying. Powerful figures from both sides of the aisle viewed an appearance on Meet the Press as a rigorous, necessary rite of passage.”
“In 2008, TIME magazine named Russert one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, writing that he was “among the most astute, discerning and relentless pursuers of truth in the nation.” (TIME, 2009)”
Thanks for this. Made me tear up. What a colossal loss, and he was too young to go so suddenly. The keys to his greatness were his work ethic, exhaustive research, and low-key style of asking tough questions with a little bemused smile.
Scott Pelley's recent in-depth interview made me cry too. Really worth watching the entire interview. At one point he teared up and said he probably shouldn't do it because Fox would clip out that part and give him grief over it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePqdmbgQ4BI
"In his first sit-down interview since he was fired, Pelley told me about the specific incident he viewed as interference, about his experiences at CBS News over the past weeks and months, and about what he hopes will come of this very tumultuous time at the network where he spent most of his career."
If anyone’s looking for a good cause to throw a few bucks at, the Tim Russert Department of Communications at John Carroll University is a great one. It includes student-run radio station WJCU, which has won international awards recently.
Thanks Ron. Looks like a beautiful hike y’all went on! As always, great weekend update. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into keeping us informed. Keep up the fight. Kudos to Welker for being a professional in dealing with the raging toddler. lol, reminded me of dealing with unruly students in the classroom over the years. She handled it well and pushed back vigorously. Good example for every journalist. Have a great week everybody!
If Fetterman is attacking Platner, I think he must be considered a lethal weapon to the trumpthuglicans. Shrek is working for DonOld . So DonOld must be afraid of losing Maine.
The glass ceiling in the military, berating women who stand their ground,( sounded like grandpa didn't get his diaper change) no women voting,charging Jean Carroll, assaulting pregnant women of color, all the continuous Facist White Male Christian program to put all women in their place.
And this is just ONE of the ways Epstein is tied to trump, the dirt Epstein gave to Israel on him. Epstein is known to be a spy for Israel. The reporting about New Mexico, Zorro Ranch and the people involved (outside of the CSA - or maybe in conjunction to it), has been interesting in how far back it goes with Israel spying on our Nuke programs and collecting compromising details on important people.
"The Israeli government installed security equipment and controlled access to a Manhattan apartment building managed by the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to an investigation published by Drop Site News.
"Based on a tranche of emails recently released by the United States Department of Justice, the report detailed how Israeli officials coordinated directly with Epstein’s staff starting in early 2016 to secure a residence at 301 East 66th Street. Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak frequently used the apartment for extended stays.
"While the property was technically owned by a company linked to Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, the disgraced financier essentially controlled it."
Waiting to see what Donnie Snowflake does to her now. Expecting another bogus lawsuit, but NBC better fight it; all they have to do is demand he sit for a deposition and he'll fold like an old rug.
Here’s hoping that all of the Knicks fans at MSG on Monday will start booing Trump loudly and chanting “pedophile protector” and not stop until his fat smelly ass leaves the arena!
Dolan made a huge mistake . What's in this for him? He already owns the team and the profits Why would he set something in motion like this? I wanna here what he has to say. What do you think Ron?
Right now neither do I. I am just a super fan. Love basketball. Love the Knicks. So know... this is going to be one more thing this BS brings into my life. I wish it would all just STOP.
Hegseth wouldn’t know what a real Christian looks like even if he was paid a personal visit by Jesus…. He would probably say something like “get out of here you stupid woke hippie”.
With the way he is crossing women and Black service people off promotion lists, I would not be surprised if the various Armed Forces start having major recruitment problems. Who would want to go in the military for a career, knowing that some drunk guy with weird tattoos will just strike your name off the list? Or the next fascist after him.
Why don't they just count the mail in ballots as they arrive. ? CHANGE the rule. Can't someone keep track. So stupid to do this. Mail in works. The counting part is the issue. Things need to change to solve these issues
Here in Mendocino County they do that. Once I took my ballot to the elections office and stood there and watched the lady open it, check the signature, and run it through the counting scanner.
It depends on the county. Most counties count the mail-in ballots as they come in. My county (San Diego county) did. LA county is the largest county and the most populous.
"Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) has signed legislation that will end the state’s universal vote-by-mail system and instead require registered voters to sign up if they want to cast their ballots by mail after 2028.
"Under the new law, which the GOP-controlled state Legislature passed earlier this month, counties will no longer send mail-in ballots to all voters on their rolls beginning in 2029.
"Voters in Utah will have the option to sign up online to receive mail-in ballots, or they can make the selection at the time they register to vote, when they show up to cast their ballot at a polling location or when they obtain or renew driver’s licenses and identification cards. The mail ballot option will remain active for eight years if voters cast ballots in all regular elections during that period."
For years I voted with an absentee ballot every election. Then the precinct I'm in went to all mail voting because they couldn't afford to hire poll workers.
There has never been a more detestable person in recent American human history….he may be the most detestable. He’s a moron, classless, zero empathy, most selfish, whiney, most lying human in my lifetime.
Bad enough that universities and law firms are kowtowing to Trump. But the American Diabetes Association? Tossing prominent researchers out of the annual conference? I have no words. The blowback has been pretty intense, as you might expect.
I saw a short video on YouTube by Dr Rubin who was with the researchers who were kicked out and threatened with arrest. Their crime they brought copies of research papers and opinion papers critical on Trump and RFK jr’s policies.
The Republican SCOTUS has undone 6 decades of creating a political environment of the democratic ideal of all men are created equal. First this undemocratic SCOTUS decided DEI was undemocratic to begin dismantle minority representation.
Now this Republican partisan SCOTUS which has been for decades waiting for the chance to get rid of Section 2 of the VRA finally has gotten it done in order to support racial gerrymandering declaring that racism is no longer a problem in America. In actuality what they are really saying is that the white man is getting screwed and the political playing field needs to be dominated by white people.
In so doing the Republican party has shown their true identity as a longstanding bigoted racist group of Confederates who believe that slaveowners were appropriate in denying AfroAmericans the right to representation in a democracy ie all men are not created equally. But WE the People should decide on our representatives not only in Congress but in state offices as well.
If one identifies with the Republican party at this point in time let’s be frank, you’ve identified with the bigoted racist Confederacy.
White MEN. It's the party of WHITE MALE SUPREMACY. They believe that white men should get an advantage in everything. They don't consider women to even be humans, just breeding livestock and toilet cleaners.
Important addition you made. Agree! Women used to be considered chattel in this country and the saying "rule of thumb" came from laws stating a man was only permitted to beat his wife with a stick no larger in diameter than his thumb.
“The UFC’s broadcast partner, Paramount Skydance—which is run by two other Trump allies, Larry and David Ellison—has decided that no American will be able to take in this ‘celebration of America’ without first paying $8.99 plus tax for a Paramount Plus streaming subscription.”
I AM with the program!!! I haven't subscribed to it for YEARS. And I'm getting tired of people who make false, unsubstantiated assumptions. I was of course referring to anyone currently paying them money. And that includes Meta, X, and all the rest of the Tech Nazis.
I so agree with you…..I feel as though I am living in a nightmare! I don’t recognize this country anymore! Hang in there friend, we need to reclaim what we once knew!!! 😀
It was before they ccancelled Colbert. Couldn't watch what I paid for. Bad service . Slow or no refunds. I knew what was coming anyway. So I just gave up.
I watched Kristen interview DJT🫏 and was proud of the way she handled the interview. He was a disgrace to all mankind with his lies and name calling which we see anytime a woman questions him but this time the woman didn’t backdown 👏🏼👏🏼and he couldn’t think of anything to do but end the interview ant stomping off like a spoiled toddler. CONGRESS DO YOUR JOB!! Stand up to this madness and save this country!
It makes me furious that the rupuglican nazis called President Biden 'sleepy Joe' and you've got this freakin idiot that literally falls asleep on camera and they think it's OK.
Netanyahu is doing everything possible to resume the war and doesn’t seem to GAF what Trump says. We are so weakened as a country and no one takes Trump seriously.
Alot of bombing just went on. Ben just reported it . Israel bombed Iran and Lebanon. Hezbollah bombed back. Trump is crying to stop. All kinds of crazy. Not good. But it isnt a war. No. Of course not
Grandpa hauled his ass to Wisconsin, bombed with the crowd. Got rained on seriously. And turned into Angry Granpa and stormed out of an interview, he asked for, like a baby.
I hope Im not dreaming this. Priceless!! The days he deserves! 😆
That evil look he gave Kristen. 👹 He struggled to stand, his feet are crooked. He berated her and then leaned on her for support to stand up straight to walk. A very disturbing scene. Are MAGAts convinced that he is mentally ill yet?

With him it's always rage, moan, gripe, groan and rage some more. He is as far from stable as can get.
Particularly when he’s challenged by smart women.
And there you have it. Smart women shoving his lies up his ass, again.
A weak, pathetic, insecure, stupid little man.
And those are his "best" traits.
Yes, exactly!!
He is bat shit crazy. Always been mean-spirited and a grifter. The insanity of old age is showing up and increasing
Roy Cohn saw that mean streak and knew had a protege to mold. I’ve never seriously wished anyone dead, but the best thing for this country would the departure of Trump from his mortal coil.
You're so right on.
He’s hurting old folks’ rep!
No kidding, being challenged by smart women sets him off like nothing else. That burns him big time.
Bingo, Merry! Just think of this--maybe (although of course, Bimbo would NEVER admit it) he got shook up and 'scared" because it him that Kristen is smarter than he is???? And OMG--a woman, at that!!!!!!!!!!!!
I miss having a "normal" president. You're so correct, he is unhinged.
He really is. How so many didn't see this, or simply chose to ignore it, before voting for him still baffles me.
I'm certain it was rigged. I really don't think he got all those votes.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Consider the fact that he has the nuclear codes!🫣
Yes, that's some scary shit.
He's done that all his life; it's just distilled now.
Raging out of control. Would not surprise me if he’s a step away from sending hitmen after the people he hates the most. He appears to be just that volatile. Walker is courageous to have pressed him with the critical questions.
Wouldn't surprise me if he's *already* sent hitmen after people he hates (or fears) the most, i.e. Epstein.
I’m often concerned about President Obama because trump literally HATES that Obama was elected POTUS, and because Barack so publicly mocked and humiliated him at the 2011 WHCD (which was absolutely hysterical, and BRILLIANTLY delivered!)
So I think Trump views Barack to be his worst nightmare, his arch-enemy, his most despised nemesis.
Honestly, he needs to grow the fuck up.
😂 it might be a little late for that. But 8647 would work!
What makes it worse for KKK Donnie is that he's black, better educated, and infinitely smarter than Donnie Dumbo is.
Exactly. All that. And Barack is COOL! He’s hip, he’s fun, he’s extremely popular. And he’s got the moves. He’s comfortable in his own skin. Did you ever see this appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’ show?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqBlNvTNvLM
That's a terrifying thought, but considering what he does to people he knows--and even those who Used to be his "allies," it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
He’s also disinhibited by dementia.
That's what I meant by "distilled."
I agree, JohnC. He's a fucking lunatic and he totally lives in a fantasy world.
Joanne I think his whole regime thinks they are doing a “ Reality Show” . Helps them justify the “grifting”.
You know what? You're absolutely right about that. A really low budget reality show except their making billions. 😒
Did I hear right. He has no plans to bring home Americans from Iran? Or who they even are? How about you spend Monday doing that and stay the hell out of NY. You troublemaking crusty curmudgeon
The Knicks caved for him! That's disappointing to say the least.
The owner. DOLAN. All his fault when this goes sideways.
I know Madison Square Garden is in Manhattan but Knicks fans should give Trump a Bronx cheer.
They will.
Put this one on the jumbotron while announcing his attendance with a question about when he stroked…
Someone probably told him about the series Homeland so he won't take any chances in having radicalized Americans brought back. That's just the way his warped mind works.
Who they are or what they are??? 🤬 moron

Those were the good old days for sure.

That condescending "darling" he called her, with the pat on her arm. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
It looked more like a lean/pat to gain support to stand/walk. The "darling" was quite condescending, I agree.
If Fetterman is attacking Platner, I think he must be considered a lethal weapon to the trumpthuglicans. Shrek is working for DonOld . So DonOld must be afraid of losing Maine.
Thanks for the report. I missed the interview—on purpose. Thanks to you and Ron for sparing me the misery.
I didn't want to watch it but I decided to have a look earlier by reading the comments on Ben's post. Truly disturbing. I can't seem to "unsee" it.
I watched. Mute and closed captions . Months now it is the only way I can stand it. If I have to listen I fast foward past Blob the Builder .
"Blob the Builder" 😂
lol. Good name for the useless idiot.
She should have spit in his face!
A loogie would have been perfect.
They don’t care. As long as he AI slop owns the libs is all that matters.
And then to call her “darling” 🤮
The glass ceiling in the military, berating women who stand their ground,( sounded like grandpa didn't get his diaper change) no women voting,charging Jean Carroll, assaulting pregnant women of color, all the continuous Facist White Male Christian program to put all women in their place.
Elevating Jan 6ers.
Sick. 🤢 🤮 .
I have total respect for her. She stood her ground and the fat ass orange bitch couldn't handle it.
He also says don’t worry. I’ll call Netanyahu and tell him not to respond to Iran’s bombing. Cut to
… Netanyahu bombs Iran
🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆
After Bibi reminds Donnie Pedo of all the dirt the Mossad has on him.
And this is just ONE of the ways Epstein is tied to trump, the dirt Epstein gave to Israel on him. Epstein is known to be a spy for Israel. The reporting about New Mexico, Zorro Ranch and the people involved (outside of the CSA - or maybe in conjunction to it), has been interesting in how far back it goes with Israel spying on our Nuke programs and collecting compromising details on important people.
And don't forget how Epstein let Ehud Barak stay in his place, which Barak only did after he had Israeli surveillance set up: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/19/israel-installed-security-at-epsteins-manhattan-apartment-for-ex-pm-barak
"The Israeli government installed security equipment and controlled access to a Manhattan apartment building managed by the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, according to an investigation published by Drop Site News.

Waiting to see what Donnie Snowflake does to her now. Expecting another bogus lawsuit, but NBC better fight it; all they have to do is demand he sit for a deposition and he'll fold like an old rug.
I'm sure he's going to demand her to be fired or a lawsuit. He's very predictable.
I have so much hate for him. 😡
Haha. The Walmart Liberace. 🤣🤣
That made me laugh out loud, too.
Does that mean Donnie's gay too?
Well, he has Liberace’s taste for gilt and glitter, but Trump looks like he had one of his aides pick it out at Walmart.
A lot of the crap he's put up looks like it came from Hobby Lobby.
Yes, either Hobby Lobby or Home Depot!
LOL...I thought Dollar Tree.
Looks more like Dollar Tree shit to me. 🤭
Now that you mention it, he could have had someone buy it there too!
Yes 😂
Ah, the quintessentially tacky and vulgar decor of Donald J. Trump! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!
It's tacky and vulgar indeed! He REALLY thinks it looks "posh" 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!
🤣🤣🤣
Perfect
So funny 😁
Here’s hoping that all of the Knicks fans at MSG on Monday will start booing Trump loudly and chanting “pedophile protector” and not stop until his fat smelly ass leaves the arena!
I'm sure fans are smokin' mad that they cancelled the watch parties outside Madison Square Garden for security reasons.
The fans who paid big bucks for tickets are going to be righteously pissed off at standing on line for an hour or more to get through security.
Replace watch party with protest?
More like no one is going to listen and it will be worse than a "protest"
There is going to be issues.
Disappointing they're caving to him. His fat fucking ass shouldn't be there anyway on our tax dollars.
Dolan made a huge mistake . What's in this for him? He already owns the team and the profits Why would he set something in motion like this? I wanna here what he has to say. What do you think Ron?
The NY fans don't like Dolan one bit.
Right now neither do I. I am just a super fan. Love basketball. Love the Knicks. So know... this is going to be one more thing this BS brings into my life. I wish it would all just STOP.
Dolon is a maggot
Hegseth wouldn’t know what a real Christian looks like even if he was paid a personal visit by Jesus…. He would probably say something like “get out of here you stupid woke hippie”.
With the way he is crossing women and Black service people off promotion lists, I would not be surprised if the various Armed Forces start having major recruitment problems. Who would want to go in the military for a career, knowing that some drunk guy with weird tattoos will just strike your name off the list? Or the next fascist after him.
More Bullshit from Hegseth. If only he could understand the contempt people hold for him.
The already ARE having major recruitment problems.
Hegseth said they will invoke the draft for boys and men only in December.
And get a hair cut!
And how come you're not white?
He would call ICE on him too.
Probably 🤣
Fox host Laura Ingraham: “If mail-in ballots are so cool and great, why is it mostly Democrats? “
If mail-in ballots are not so cool and great then why is your boy—Commander in Cheat—mailing in his?
Historically, Republicans supported mail ballots. Only after trump blamed his 2020 loss on them did they change their position.
Why don't they just count the mail in ballots as they arrive. ? CHANGE the rule. Can't someone keep track. So stupid to do this. Mail in works. The counting part is the issue. Things need to change to solve these issues
Here in Mendocino County they do that. Once I took my ballot to the elections office and stood there and watched the lady open it, check the signature, and run it through the counting scanner.
San Diego county counts as they come in too.
That sounds reasonable. Just count them and add them to the count on election day.
It depends on the county. Most counties count the mail-in ballots as they come in. My county (San Diego county) did. LA county is the largest county and the most populous.
I've wondered about that too, but thought it might be because they don't want any leaks getting out about who's ahead before election day.
Yeah, and Utah is very red and *was* 100% mail in ballots. Now they're sticking their heads up Donnie's backside and changing it: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5217722-spencer-cox-utah-abandon-universal-vote-by-mail/
"Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) has signed legislation that will end the state’s universal vote-by-mail system and instead require registered voters to sign up if they want to cast their ballots by mail after 2028.
"Under the new law, which the GOP-controlled state Legislature passed earlier this month, counties will no longer send mail-in ballots to all voters on their rolls beginning in 2029.
"Voters in Utah will have the option to sign up online to receive mail-in ballots, or they can make the selection at the time they register to vote, when they show up to cast their ballot at a polling location or when they obtain or renew driver’s licenses and identification cards.

For years I voted with an absentee ballot every election. Then the precinct I'm in went to all mail voting because they couldn't afford to hire poll workers.
How utterly ridiculous is this idea? Well, Utah will find out and boy, the people there will be pissed!
👏👏👏
There has never been a more detestable person in recent American human history….he may be the most detestable. He’s a moron, classless, zero empathy, most selfish, whiney, most lying human in my lifetime.

“The UFC’s broadcast partner, Paramount Skydance—which is run by two other Trump allies, Larry and David Ellison—has decided that no American will be able to take in this ‘celebration of America’ without first paying $8.99 plus tax for a Paramount Plus streaming subscription.”
Time for a serious boycott!!!!
OHHH I boycotted Paramount Skydance as soon as I heard Stephen Colbert was being cancelled! Come on Oaktown….get with the program!!!🤣
I AM with the program!!! I haven't subscribed to it for YEARS. And I'm getting tired of people who make false, unsubstantiated assumptions. I was of course referring to anyone currently paying them money. And that includes Meta, X, and all the rest of the Tech Nazis.
Oaktown I love you and was just giving you a hard time!!! No offense intended! Always enjoy your posts!!
Appreciate the clarification, but just living in this country now is more of a hard time than I can stand.
I so agree with you…..I feel as though I am living in a nightmare! I don’t recognize this country anymore! Hang in there friend, we need to reclaim what we once knew!!! 😀
It's gonna be a long and trying haul, but I hope it ends with a fairer, more just, and smarter govt. than we once knew.
LOL! I did too!
I boycotted since last year because of Stephen Colbert. I miss Showtime but I'll never go back.
Ditto
Did months ago. It was not easy dealing with those idiots either when I cancelled
I cancelled years ago—before they changed—and it was no problem. Figures the new crook owners would do that. I'm never subscribing to them again.
What'd they do to make it hard and how did you finally accomplish it? (I ask in case it helps others in a similar situation.)
It was before they ccancelled Colbert. Couldn't watch what I paid for. Bad service . Slow or no refunds. I knew what was coming anyway. So I just gave up.
"With the rising price of beef, we may all be forced to be vegans." Ah, chef's kiss, James. Perfect.
I watched Kristen interview DJT🫏 and was proud of the way she handled the interview. He was a disgrace to all mankind with his lies and name calling which we see anytime a woman questions him but this time the woman didn’t backdown 👏🏼👏🏼and he couldn’t think of anything to do but end the interview ant stomping off like a spoiled toddler. CONGRESS DO YOUR JOB!! Stand up to this madness and save this country!
It makes me furious that the rupuglican nazis called President Biden 'sleepy Joe' and you've got this freakin idiot that literally falls asleep on camera and they think it's OK.
Netanyahu is doing everything possible to resume the war and doesn’t seem to GAF what Trump says. We are so weakened as a country and no one takes Trump seriously.
Alot of bombing just went on. Ben just reported it . Israel bombed Iran and Lebanon. Hezbollah bombed back. Trump is crying to stop. All kinds of crazy. Not good. But it isnt a war. No. Of course not
I'm thinking China might have something to say to Israel. Quietly, of course.
Grandpa hauled his ass to Wisconsin, bombed with the crowd. Got rained on seriously. And turned into Angry Granpa and stormed out of an interview, he asked for, like a baby.
I hope Im not dreaming this. Priceless!! The days he deserves! 😆
Wish it would have rained shit.
I’m hoping for an severe thunderstorm on his birthday
Yes, with lightning and softball sized hail! Hell, throw in a tornado too.
In response to Laura Ingraham’s assertion re Dem mail-in votes, could it be more Democrats read and write? You never know.
LOL...good one! 👏
Holy moly Ron, you really had a mess to go through and pull out the truth and facts on this evil regime.
Thank you for doing so. Great job!
