We might need scooters or walkers to get there, but we need to stick around long enough to relieve ourselves on his grave. We might have to wait in a long line, though.

else I have. As far as I'm concerned, any news that is tRUMP-related, IGNORE.

Like some on here, one bit of news would lift my spirits, and that's tRUMP finally kicking the bucket after eating too many cheeseburgers.

And tRUMP is getting up there in age too, he is looking more and more disheveled, sort of out of it too (IMHO of course). One can always wish that he's at the end of his foul career, one that I wish more MAGA supporters will see more harder at his record and discover that he doesn't care about them one bit.

An example is that here is he already, not yet president, selling his stupid crypto coins for a ridiculous sum of billions. This sounds rather flimsy, and I wonder how he goosed it up so high. I suspect that over time, those engaging in the market for these stupid coins will realize that the coins literally have no value. Just another token/round piece of metal.

He's almost 15, mostly blind, mostly deaf, incontinent, sleeps a lot, spends a lot of time in his own world, and has been dealing with Cushing's Disease for 2.5 years (two years from diagnosis is the norm).

I'm hoping HE outlives Trump.

Granted they have It all right now. But the more resistance against the maga's, the more sunlight is put on them. vote!!! Get your friends to vote. Your kids, nephews, nieces, get the house and possibly senate at the mid terms. Turn Maga into the definition of Lame duck.if you look at it this way its only 24 months. 24 long months for sure, but not an entire term.
