    Yall dont show the flag in the iconic pic btw did someone get fired for that
  • Prevented? I mean you see the guy an hour ahead of time, agent after agent just ignores him or lets him go. The whole truth still has not come out. Something doesn't add up, it's seems way more than gross incompetence because 20 people who all have to be this clueless.

    What's the deal; why was the photo of Trump altered? There's something fishy going on here.
  • If Trump Senior has 5 kids by 3 wives and is traveling south at 50 mph, and Trump Junior has 5 kids by one wife and is traveling west at 40 mph, how many felonies until the 2 men meet in prison?

    The man needs to keep his mouth shut and stop offending people. There is so much mental health issues people are dealing with. You never know who,what,where,when. Its scary.. I hate violence these politicians should learn to tone it down.
