Too funny for this thread? Certainly True enough for here.

The clothes that politicians’ wives wear continue to be scrutinized, even for a first lady at the municipal level. Rama Duwaji has great style imo.

Aid will be redirected to the Trump family. Thoughts and prayers for the suffering.

We can be concerned about Trump being a pedophile again?

Sorry, I have no idea what this is about, and I am not curious enough to find out for myself.

First: he was escorted out of the State of the Union speech for an anti-Trump sign

Second (and what the sign was about): he was complaining about the tweet (or Truth) from Trump’s account picturing the Obamas as apes. Trump and/or White House blamed an unnamed staffer.

Thank you.

So, people who are not tRump post as him to his Truth Social account? That sounds as if people should simply ignore that account forever. I mean, that is what I’ve done, since forever.

Well if he didn’t have the nuclear codes and wasn’t able to do whatever the hell he wants as President it would be a lot easier to ignore his Truth Social rants.

Ignoring the account may well be sensible, though OTOH there’s some advantage to knowing what the IdiotInChief is posting. Many people think that it’s unlikely a staffer made that post without Trump’s knowledge.
