Plus may other ordinary people; they say it makes absolute sense. The only people it bamboozles are those like Kamala. Her immigration platform …” > > “Forget Kamala Harris. Name those English professors and those schools. Cite, please.” > > He wouldn’t last five minutes here. Now imagine what this board would be like if Trump was the moderator and had the power to ban anyone he wanted to. ---

Maybe we’re being too hard on Trump and holding him to an impossible standard. Everyone has flaws. If we put aside the accepting bribes from foreign governments, the adultery, the attempts to overthrow the government, the bigotry, the corruption, the dictatorship fantasies, the egotism, the failed marriages, the felony convictions, the incest, the incompetence, the lack of leadership, the lying, the misogyny, the multiple impeachments, the nepotism, the poor judgment, the racism, the repeated business failures, the self-delusion, the senility, the sexual assaults, the stupidity, and the treason he’s an ideal candidate. ---
