    Everyone should pray for a heart murmur for the Orange turd. A murmur, or other little things like that help people people realize how close 90 is. And knowing that 80+ year olds make up a tiny percent of the population begs a big bigly question… Where do they all go?

    Someone told him that she’s also polling better than he is, lol:

    Ocasio-Cortez submitted on Saturday that Trump’s decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites was ground for impeachment, arguing that his “disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers.”

      UTIs (urinary tract infections) really fuck with people experiencing dementia. Sometimes the way a person acts under a UTI is the first sign of such cognitive decline. They’ll be fine one day, but when infection sets in it’s like they become another person.

      However, that’s for people who ordinarily have self-control. For Trump, it’s anyone’s guess.

      It’s always been projection with Republicans and the cons. They claim liberals are emotional, and then have fits over things like gay marriage, someone kneeling while a song plays, someone not giving proper deference to “the troops” (meaning, the latest elective war of aggression on a foreign nation), Obama Presidenting while Blah, and so on.

    When we examine her Test Scores, we will find out that she is NOT qualified for office

    I’ve got $1,000 on AOC’s test scores over trump’s; especially since he doesn’t know how to capitalize words properly and since she didn’t have a rich father that made huge donations to her college to get her in.

      I don’t think there’s a person on the planet who would take that bet in good faith, except maybe Trump himself.

      He truly believes he’s a genius. Everyone else on the planet, including his supporters, knows deep down that he’s by far the dumbest person to hold the office.

              My brother and I noted the propensity for some people born into wealth to be attractive as well. Braces when you’re 10 and a dermatologist when you’re 13 can have massive, lasting impacts decades later. Just a bit more invisible privilege those born to money get.

                Historically, rich people have been able to alter what people consider attractive too. There were multiple cultures across the globe that painted their teeth black because being able to eat a lot of imported sugar made your teeth rot.

      AOC isn’t saving us, she just gives you the illusion someone is fighting for you. She’s allowed to vent on your behalf.

              Neither has even a slight lead in not being awful?

              Both deliver genocide and destruction and a foreign policy that’s destroying the world, but one has a slight lead in not being awful (your words), and that’s reason to cheer for them?

              To be very clear: that’s a disgusting position. It’s literally the same position as them (fuck everyone else, I want mine, the rest of the world can burn and die and be bombed by my tax dollars, I just want my Amazon prime and Starbucks), it’s just this murder cult has a bigger circle that fits your friends too.

          Biden is our literal Hitler, when we (Palestinians) write our history books on the genocide, we will not leave our any detail and we won’t let him rest in peace.

          He mocked our suffering as he have Israel unlimited power to destroy all of our life in Gaza, and Trump doesn’t get the credit for it, he inherited it from Biden.

          Unless you want to give credit to everything good he inherited from Biden too? I didn’t think so. Stay consistent!

          Genocide Joe is the reason we’re here, his genocide is literally the trigger for everything we’re dealing with today, and you still think he’s the lesser of two evils. There is no lesser, there is only evil with these two parties.

        She is awesome - but I hope they don’t intend on running her for president - not because I think she would do any less than a fantastic job, but because we have proven even women in this country won’t vote for a woman president. Meanwhile we have children in 5th grade drama running things. “But a woman would be emotional”.

              Was it because they were woman or because they were just the same old Democrats people were tired of? You know, the left candidates that are actually right leaning, the establishment.

              Yeah. There’s a correlation vs causation problem here that I don’t really have the answers to.

              In other words I think that’s reductive.

              Hillary was Hillary and didn’t take Trump seriously.

              Kamala was run without much planning and forethought.

              AOC might be a woman, and I take your point that may not be in her favor, but she has many virtues that may outweigh that disadvantage.

          Not very long ago America was never going to vote for a black man.

          Bernie could never beat Trump… for some reason.
