I am puzzled

Some days ago I saw a part of a very recent Trump
speech, when he rambled on about Cary Grant in a swimsuit

Then I saw him wittering on about Gettysburg, without uttering a coherent thought

Why are the media not discussing he fact that he has completely lost it ?

Your periodic reminder that 100% of unwanted pregnancies are caused by men and that Republicans aren’t “pro-life”. They are anti-women.

@NewYorker Please get rid of the mini crosswords. Such a disappointing way to start the day. Some of us need the real deal, not some dumbed-down two second nibble. Please. Get back to the good stuff.

@POTUS Stop funding death. Close the cash and arms tap to the murderous Israeli regime. End it now!!! #wckitchen #FreePalestine

Africa has a government? Weird. It’s not even a country. Huh.

[CryptoDawks @CryptoDawks]

@KeneAkers @sally_tanner Thats 100% incorrect. The African government enslaved their own people and sold them to travelers as labor. Slavery has existed in every culture throughout history. Please educate yourself to what actually happened. White people ended slavery, if u remember... history is real

@kylegriffin1 Jeffrey Clark wrote a DOJ memo as requested by @realDonaldTrump claiming concern for widespread fraud in 2020 election knowing it was false. But White House attorneys fortunately found out & blocked it. Clark deserves disbarment in all jurisdictions. Total liar & fraudster.

Let's talk about Joe Biden's age.

Donald Trump is 3.5 years younger and both of them qualified for retirement years ago.

Keep in mind a great President surrounds himself with the best advisors who support, inform and decide policy with him.

A great President knows he alone can't fix it. It takes a team led and picked by the President to led America.

A great President doesn't have to dance on stage. They need to listen to the strong voices in their administration.

Donald Trump surrounded himself with family, self-servicing millionaires, white nationalists and the worse people he could find. Russia even paid some of them.

Joe Biden surrounds himself with the best, qualified, intelligent people.

I'm voting for Joe Biden and his team.

Competence matters far more than age.

Oh, yeah, that last thing.

@kylegriffin1 It is SICK that Gym Jordan, of all people, have the GALL to do this considering his refusal of congressional subpoenas.

Sickening. Not to mention he did absolutely NOTHING to help HIS WRESTLERS when they came to him after being sexually assaulted!

[Tom Riley @GrapeBelt]

@DNC I’ve voted democratic since the 1980s but you are testing my patience with the constant barrage of text messages and emails. Like a fucking hydra, I block a few and ten more show up. It’s harassment and a really bad look on your part. Keep it up and lose my votes. I mean it.

[Tom Riley @GrapeBelt]

@AllisonMY No surprise. People get very excited at their own cleverness. Which is often just shiny stupidity.

The idiot who came up with her should be fired.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

I'm glad NBC News decided to listen to viewers AND their on-air talent and drop Ronna Romney McDaniel, that was the right thing to do.

But I'm truly curious to know who it was that thought they would get away with giving US, the audience, an election denier to watch?

We get plenty of non-MAGA Republicans on the channel, we don't need that big lie bullshit in our TV schedules, for real.

Whoever made that boneheaded decision during an election year, they better not do that shit again.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

I needed this story today.

“We were in Athens yesterday and Avery had to go to the bathroom really, really bad.

She and I ran into the closest place which was a Subway in downtown Athens.

We ran straight to the bathroom and the employee got my attention and told me the bathroom was only for paying customers.

I didn’t have my wallet with me and I told him I was sorry, I didn’t have my wallet and we would leave.

Without hesitation these two young men spoke up and said they would buy a cookie for Avery so she could be a “paying customer” so she could use the restroom.

I was so grateful, thanked them profusely and dashed in the restroom with Avery.

We came back out and they were still there, so I thanked them again and started talking with them.

Turns out they both play on the UGA football team. (Go Dawgs) We had a great conversation and exchanged some laughs, and talked about football.

To some it may seem like a small act, but I was so thankful and impressed that these 2 college kids who don’t have kids of their own gave so freely and without hesitation to help us out.

The world needs MORE of this!

Thank you Latavious & Jaylen!! 📷📷 Fine young men who asked for nothing in return and a great example. A much needed ray of sunshine. Food for thought. Go Dawgs!! 📷”

@KeneAkers @thereidout Joy Reid said it best! Some racist white folk hate DEI cause they can’t stand black people, and everyone crying about her saying it proves the saying. Blacks have to be twice as smart as white counterparts. I say to racist anti DEI folk; get educated and stop hating!

[Tom Riley @GrapeBelt]

@NBCNews Now fire the idiot who thought she was a good hire. The Keystone Kops will never be dead. Just so you know, greed is never a good look. Ever.

[Tom Riley @GrapeBelt]

@NBCNews Ronna McDaniel? Seriously? You’re a ratings whore and you’ve lost sight of your purpose. Talk about a bad decision. Was nice knowing ya. Bye. PS - Andrea Mitchell still needs to go. She is beyond useless.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

I remember watching trump brag about how rich he was, and thinking how bizarre that was because you never hear wealthy people saying "you know, I'm really rich."

If you're really rich, you don't have to brag about it.

Then, I remember how he did that with his "intellect," bragging about how he had "a really good brain" and how he had "the best words."

It was equally strange to see him brag repeatedly about that "person, woman, man, camera, TV" test. I mean, it's almost like bragging about passing a breathalyzer test.

Intelligent people don't brag about it, there's no need, as they can flex with a few casual sentences.

Come to think of it, he did the exact same thing with people, saying that he hires "the best people."

Then he went and hired clueless Jared Kushner, disgusting Steve Bannon, sleepy Ben Carson, and Four Seasons Total Clueless Rudy Giuliani.

In every single instance, he bragged about things that were verifiably false.

- he can't cough up $454 million, despite bragging that he's a billionaire. Nobody will loan it to him, because they're not stupid.

- he's spent the past few months confusing Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi, WW2 with WW3, and he can't get President Obama out of what's left of his mind.

- many of the people he hired had to ask for pardons, a bunch were fired for incompetence, others were indicted and/or convicted, and some have been disbarred.

Not a billionaire.
Not a genius.
Not connected with the best.

He's a pretender, a poser, a complete phony. He's got fake hair, fake tan, lifts in his shoes, lies about his height and weight, even cheats at golf.

For some reason, MAGA thinks this clown of a person is strong, but he's a weakling's idea of what a strong person looks like.

He's a poor person's idea of what a rich guy looks like.

He's a dumb person's idea of what a stable genius looks like.

I'll never understand how a blatant charlatan fooled so many people so thoroughly, but I'm determined to make sure that phony, lying, weak, stupid coward is exposed and defeated once and for all.

Let's fucking do this.
