He skipped church. Dropped the F-bomb. Praised Allah. On Easter. You can’t make this up. The man tweets war threats while you hunt eggs with your kids. THIS is your president, America. Wake up.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

The media need to stop beating their chests about how powerful our military is. It's a point of pride when your country has a strong military that keeps the peace. It's a source of shame when politicians turn your strong military into an international armed robbery gang.

It's not JUST that Trump is incompetent, corrupt, racist, and criminal, he is DEFINITELY showing signs of dementia. His father died with an advanced case of it, and YES the condition IS inheritable. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Shadowing Trump’s attacks on mental fitness — his own father’s dementia
As Trump accuses Biden of being “cognitively impaired,” he avoids mention of his father’s Alzheimer’s disease — an experience that shaped Trump’s views of the condition.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.
