      The psychos who cheer on our literal enemy, Russia, and say “Better Russian than Democrat”? I’m sure they’ll rationally act in their own self-interest…

      Also, Trump is literally financing Russia by buying diesel from them (to help Republicans win the midterms) while we support Ukraine defending themselves from the Russian invasion. 🤦‍♂️ It’s hard to imagine why prices for everything have skyrocketed…

      They will hoot and holler in admiration. They cheer the bloated baboon on, even as he does all stupidest of things. Many of them still think they are gonna be rich.

        I can not wait to watch the Supreme Court trip over themselves to remove the immunity they have given the presidency when Trump leaves the White House, one way or another.

      I mean, he has claimed multiple times that the strait is open and that the war was won, so, yeah.

      Same with his talk for whatever he’s planning - or planning to TACO on - after the elections.

    One word in that headline says it all. That’s the number they’re reporting. It’s estimated to be much higher.

    And Kamala thinks the affordability crisis cam be solved with proverbial spackling and maybe some light sanding.

    To be sure, trump’s and the rest of the GOP’s rampant corruption is the cause, so “taking care of business” means… taking care of Trump.
