How many strikes should they get before they’re shut down? These companies have no incentive to put fail-safe curbs on their platforms. Well, the specters of regulation and being killed should do it, but right now they have no reason to believe either should occur. This is the U.S.

But he’s announced the war will be over the day after the election. What happens between Election Day and the day after? Might it be a huge attack on election eve? Drop the bomb — martial law — eff up the elections — nothing left of Iran to surrender so it’s a fait accompli?

You might think he’s referring to pure blood, i.e. racial purity, but I think he means actual blood. We know from his damaged hands that he’s probably receiving some sort of infusions. Perhaps they include blood transfusions. What kind of magical blood might that be?

He realized this might be his last chance to experience mass adoration, or the appearance of it. The best interests of his party and its candidates are no concern of his. He’s hanging his unpopularity around their necks, resigned to the GOP losing Congress. Takes his pardon from Vance, skips town.

Quite the predicament we’re in. Making it right won’t be as simple as ridding the fridge of things gone bad, but I still believe in our collective will. Question is, with 28 more months of the rotten regime — how do we hold on?

Her background is in wrestling. Her leanings are far right. Her mind is small and sealed as a walnut. This unqualified hag has never had an original thought. But she’s donated over $28 million to Trump. That translates to a cabinet position.
