Palos Verdes! I’ve got relatives buried there. Portuguese Bend has been moving for decades. Classes used to visit it as a field trip in the sixties and seventies.

I’m living in NoCal now, and didn’t know that the movement has sped up.

Deportation of Haitians to Venezuela? Haven’t Haitians suffered enough? (Seriously, they are a people that have endured so damn much)

Trump seems to think that Tim Walz is currently the vice president.

Also, Harris lied that she never worked at McDonald’s, meaning that she DID in fact work there.

The start of that clip is a remark he was complaining about right after the convention. He was quipping on how she just kept saying, “Thank you. Thank you.” Over and over again, for 38 times.

So, Donald Dumbass doesn’t understand why she would do that. You see, she was

A) Getting so much applause it was carrying in for over a minute. I guess he never gets that kind of applause so he didn’t recognize it.

B) Trying to quiet the crowd so she could deliver her speech. That’s right, she was trying to stop them from applauding. You see, if Dumpster ever did get that kind of applause, he would never try to stop it. He cannot conceive that a normal person wants to acknowledge the cheering but then get on with business. For him, there could never be too much applause.

So once again, Donald tries to call someone else a weirdo, and by doing so demonstrates that he’s the weird one.

Setting up a crossover with Wolverine? He is Canadian so I guess it tracks. I don’t think there’s a border wall out there that can stop adamantium claws and if they enter from the Canadian side all they have to contend with is a chain-link fence.

Also, if the NYT is failing, why is he repeating one of their stories? Are they supposed to be a bad source or not? They are only good when they trash talk foreigners?

I believe he saw in his nightmares the prison he ~~should~~ will be locked in. No windows, only bars. Don’t panic, Donnie Dumbboy. Count to ten. _Then_ panic.
