Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

The Constitution's "wall of separation" between Church & State was a phrase coined in 1802 by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to the Danbury, Connecticut Baptist Convention presenting his views on the relationship between religion and the role of the state in the new nation. #ChristianNationalism

It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.

Here's the complete video.. Trump can't sing, but I'm sure he considered it the "greatest version of the Green Acres theme ever performed." youtu.be/6JoJ2HnMt6Q?... Host Ellen DeGeneres intentionally misidentifies Megan Mullally as part of the joke.

Besides being a great country and the best neighbor a country could hope to have, Canada has one helluva National Anthem. Know that many of your southern neighbors are working hard to make the United States worthy of your friendship, hopefully someday soon.
