As a country we’ve made two mistakes that have led to where we are with a lawless Presidency. Ford shouldn’t have pardoned Nixon; he should’ve been convicted and jailed. January 6th should have ended with Stinky’s arrest followed swiftly by impeachment and prison. www.alternet.org/trump-nixon-...

Trump: "We have inflation totally in control and we've done a great job. The thing I haven't done a good job with is explaining it to people. We have the most successful period of time for a president in the history of our country."

This is just despicable by MS NOW, which has accepted stolen taxpayers dollars for 38 illegal ads. Give me a break with this bullshit statement too. So your hosts are on air all day saying this is illegal while you are taking the money and running the ads? Just gross.

A drawing of a television game show set with three walls behind the host and three contestants behind their respective podiums. One wall is comprised of question squares, another reads: “Facts Don’t Matter”, and the last is blank. The host addresses one of the contestants:

The important thing to keep in mind is that laws are fake for people in power so it doesn't actually matter. Trump could scrawl some tree bark with his own feces that he's renamed California as Commiefornia and there would still be people arguing it was legally binding.

When he says this he’s talking about the peak during Biden at $116.456. We’re $21.944 away from that number now. Sadly, my guess we will meet or surpass that before the year ends. Especially since he intends to prolong the war indefinitely .

Trump lies: "Oil will come dropping down as soon as Iran gives up, as soon as the war is over, which will be soon. Prices for groceries have come way down for Biden. Almost every price has come way down. And remember one thing -- oil is less expensive now than it was under the Biden administration."
