Wow IMPOTUS trying to bribe seniors w/$90. That's enough gas to drive around the block! Since most food is recalled that should buy 3 months of cheetos. But if you purchase @ gas station mini mart: 30 day supply of cheetos, 24 bayer aspirin, & 3 lotto tickets. Mr. Stupor Intelligence is at it again.

Marmalade Mussolini's constant engagement with sports teams, players and events is straight outta the fascist party playbook of the 1930s and 40s. This is not new.

So as luck would have it the presidential Religious Liberty Commission meets today! Catholic leaders, Dolan, Barron et al will you be raising this attack on Catholicism or perhaps resigning in disgust later today? Maybe that viral rant wasn't random--it was a loyalty test?
