These people know Trump’s signature really well! Look how confident they are in their assessments. Man, I bet it would be easy for them to pick this fake one out from a lineup of unlabeled real Trump signatures. I mean it’s pretty obvious, right? Can some journalist make this happen please? Please?!

Why not just feed all of their history into AI and use predictions and arrest and jail people before they commit crimes?

Magas are right. We need to produce more kids. Families will need @ least 8 kids each because-check this math: we’re broke. We need to put them to work. We need ~8 cuz we’re gonna lose 1/2 of them before age 5 to disease & then of the remaining 4, a few will probably die in the factory or the field.

Remember, it used to be normal practice for the US president to divest themselves of stocks and put their money in blind trusts so there would be no conflict of interest. Then Trump put his children in charge of his company, which in no way avoids conflict. This time I don't even think he bothered.

It’s crazy that the President could say, “tomorrow we’ll be placing big monkeys with swords on all the overpasses throughout America,” and at least two of the justices would immediately begin writing legal opinions in support of the president’s power to unleash the big sword-wielding monkeys.

I remember hearing in the late 90s or early 2000s that neo-Nazis were ditching the skinheads and swastika tattoos and going to college to infiltrate positions of power such as law enforcement, the judiciary, and Congress. Well, I guess it paid off.
