> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > Next up, you’re going to predict that the sun will rise in the East tomorrow morning. The Sun, it’s very bright, very warm. Kind of like me. It’s responsible for all life on Earth, did you know that? Not many people do. I know a lot about the Sun since my Uncle went to MIT-- very smart, very smart. The crazy woke libs did not believe me when I said the other day that the Sun would rise in the East the next morning, but you know what? It did! Astronomers, big strong guys with lab coats on, came up to me with tears in their eyes and said “you did it sir, you predicted the path of the Sun!” ---

Well, as it turns out, the Biden administration knows how to get prisoners back as well: To the Cult, when Trump gets hostages/prisoners back by selling out the United States, it’s because He’s a Great Statesman.
