Oh naive me, four years ago. I remember those comments from Trump about Obama and for about, well gotta say it, two weeks I hoped that Trump, after being elected, would move more to the center. And the weird thing about it is, if he had done so, with the economy until COIVD, he would probably had a 70% approval rating. And he would have won the election. Now this is for one of those What If? history books. What if he had become a centrist President? That could be an interesting thread. ---

Oh yeah; I thought I was clear that I feel the same way. I think it is ridiculous and negligent for the FS _not_ to have asked for his dismissal, was my point. ---

Reposting from my literally named friend Karen on Facebook - _Two big-time Trump supporters—Silver Spoons actor Rick Schroeder, who was arrested for domestic violence in 2019, and “My Pillow Guy” Michael Lindell, arrested for domestic violence in 2008—helped pay domestic terrorist/Kenosha Killer Kyle Rittenhouse’s $2 million bond today. Also contributing was Scott Baio, who was accused of sexual assault by multiple women but never charged._ New series idea on the (soon to be coming) Trump Network. Trump Loves Chachi. 2nd season, with subtitle, In Jail. ---

Damn, Trump is just determined to kill of his supporters with plague, isn’t he?
