He screwed up the workshopped message saying "give us another chance" instead of "give us another couple of years" & immediately realized it you can see. Both are BS of course but "another chance" admits "We blew it", not just "we're not done yet". Lucky for democracy that he's a blithering idiot.

Donald Trump admits what DOJ and most of the legacy media refuse to. The U.S. Postal Service mail-in ballot rule was a partisan effort to help the GOP. SCOTUS' decision was, in his words: "a big loss for Republicans."

TV footage shows that Donald Trump spent 9/11 boasting that he now had the tallest building in lower Manhattan. Trump himself says he was at the World Trade Center, lifted out of the rubble by firefighters. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I lived in Manhattan before that & everyone I knew despised him. Sure I knew mostly downtown people, writers, artists, actors, but they *all* saw him as a fascist. So the claims that he was always "beloved" and "everyone" agrees he "saved New York" have always been bonkers to me. None of it is true

Every day that the mainstream media don't report loudly and urgently that the president is insane is a day in which they're committing journalistic malpractice.

Now that we have it under U.S.A. control, should we change the name Hormuz Strait to TRUMP STRAIT??? Like America itself, it would be “hotter” than ever before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Frequently when reading his posts I think of this. Charlie had an excuse though, Trump by contrast had a more or less normal ability to learn and access to the best education he could want.

“April 6—Today, I learned, the comma, this is, a, comma (,) a period, with, a tail, Miss Kinnian, says its, importent, because, it makes writing, better, she said, somebody, could lose, a lot, of money, if a comma, isnt in, the right, place, I got, some money, that I, saved from, my job, and what, the foundation, pays me, but not, much and, I dont see how, a comma, keeps, you from, losing it,
But, she says, everybody, uses commas, so Ill, use them, too,,,,

April 7—I used the comma wrong. Its punctuation…Miss Kinnian says a period is punctuation too, and there are lots of other marks to learn.
She said; You, got. to-mix?them!up: She showd? me” how, to mix! them; up, and now! I can. mix (up all? kinds of punctuation— in, my. writing! There” are lots, of rules; to learn? but. Im’ get’ting them in my head:
One thing? I, like: about, Dear Miss Kinnian: (thats, the way? it goes; in a business letter (if I ever go! into business?) is that, she: always; gives me’ a reason” when—I ask. She”s a gen’ius! I wish? I could be smart-like-her;
Punctuation, is? fun!”
