At Trump’s age, most people just get a Costco cake and a nap, not a tank parade and flyover costing $45 million. .

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda.

It ways we are 11th cousins, but related only through my grandfather's stepfather. Not sure why he would be used to find bio relatives...
Remember when they mocked us for saying that democracy is on the ballot?
Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.
