I just knew this dumb maga cultist will come up with this ridiculous defense. Morôn just borrowed what another idiot was saying on twitter. This was the first immediate defense they put up in minutes as the pic trended.

But when did criminal trump ever have that time to play golf round the clock to cause that open sore blisters, was he raking the field? I guess he was playing golf on the CNN town halls, fox news interview and town halls, hannity radio call ins and newsmax interviews within these two weeks and not to talk of the court cases he had to attend on every 3 days average.

When did he have time to golf to get those disgusting blisters?

You are just a disgusting liar, and so obvious.
I said most probable cause. The syphilis issue was brought up by a far left whackjob who is a democrat strategist.
“They look like syphilis,” James Carville said of the red marks on Trump’s hands.

Carville claimed he asked several doctors (who never examined Trump) what the red marks could be and the answer was “immediate: secondary syphilis.”


Darn sure his Twitter feed is full of rubbish. I shall revisit this oaf.First warning sign I note is he married at 49 years

I can further repost a comment I made about two years Basically goes like . They will never let Trump win the presidency.
They have so much to hide They have committed every imaginable crime that as long as they are in power they will never give it up to an outsider freely.

Kamala Harris is the latest to comment about never letting Trump back to the WH .

“Donald Trump is an existential threat to our democracy and our most fundamental freedoms,” said Harris.

She continued, “Remember the chaos, the division, the attacks that took rights and liberties from the American people. We cannot allow that to happen again.”


Kamala and who . Will not allow voters to make their choice? Just what do these clusterfucks think they are?If anything happened to Trump would she not have something to do with it. This is a direct threat to Trump's life

A few days ago she cankled that it's better to run without an opponent.

I can repost what I wrote the other day. Trump will lose each and every case brought before Obama and democrat appointed judges this year. No matter how ridiculous the charges are.
You can take that to the bank.
Since I'll never tire o educating you , besides the yet to be accepted Mirriam Webster dictionary word arkancide, Lawfare is your new word for today. Basically means using the law to go after your opponents.

In yesterday trial Jean Carroll Trump accuser admitted deleting emails of death threats that were under a subpoena. Trump lawyer moved for a mistrial on the strength of her own admission of destroying evidence crucial to her case. The judge dismiseed the move, asking jurors to disregard. Later he also threatened yo kick Trump out if the courtroom.
Blatant Lawfare.

---‘Totally baseless’: Trump denounced for Nikki Haley ‘birther’ lie---

A leading professor of US constitutional law condemned Donald Trump for “playing the race card” by propagating the “totally baseless” claim that Nikki Haley, his surging rival for the Republican presidential nomination, is not qualified because her parents were not US citizens when she was born.

“The birther claims against Nikki Haley are totally baseless as a legal and constitutional matter,” Laurence Tribe, professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, told NBC.

I know Obama father was a Kenyan not a US citizen. His mother was a bona fide US citizen by birth
Ted Cruz , I think was born in Canada to a Canadian and a US born citizen.
Nikki Haley born in the US to parents who were not yet US citizens.
Vivek Ramaswamy born in US to parents who were not yet US citizens.
I think Congress should set the matter straight, Trump is just pointing out the obvious.
My opinion is that democrats including the democrat Supreme Court judges would have declared that a presidential candidate must have been born on US soil to both natural US citizens. Unfortunately they have Obama so they cannot use that to deny any Republican presidential candidate chance of running based on strict citizenship criteria.

Hunter Biden gun was thrown into a dumper by his girlfriend, his late brother's wife. With his motion to dismiss the gun charges in process, the FBI revealed that upon retrieving the gun, the holster had a white powder which they confirmed was cocaine. Here is a person who lied on a federal form about not being on drugs when applying for a gun permit hiding his cocaine in a gun holster.

Incase you don't know who, It's a woman who can't remember the year she was 'raped', is funded by Democrat Reid Hoffman LinkedIn founder, had New York change a statute of limitations so she could sue Trump, calls her cat vagina, dyes her dog pink, paints her surrounding cabin trees blue, joked with Anderson Cooper on how rape is sexy( he promptly ended the interview) , And she loved watching "The Apprentice" for many years after she was supposedly raped in a busy high end fashion shop.After jury found Trump guilty of sexual violation and not rape, Trump said " she is not my type" after which she sued for defamation $10 m , the judge agreed with her and will be ruling in how much damages Trump should pay her.

Nikki Haley last chance to beat Trump is New Hampshire.

(NBC) – Former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley is facing pressure from some of her top fundraisers to either seriously compete with, or outright defeat, Donald Trump in next week’s New Hampshire primary, after finishing third on Monday in the Iowa caucus.

“I would still like to see her get somewhere, but the mountain she has to climb is enormous,” Andy Sabin, a New York businessman and Haley fundraiser, told CNBC. “As much as I like Haley, I don’t even know what Trump could do to stop himself right now.”

Sabin plans to help raise money for Trump if Haley doesn’t make it through the primary season, despite previously telling CNBC he wouldn’t give the former president “a f—ing nickel.”

“He may be the only choice I have,” said Sabin.

Several Haley fundraisers who spoke to CNBC conceded that, unless she gets a very close second to Trump or manages to pull off an upset win in New Hampshire, the race could effectively be over for her after that



“In Davos, Switzerland, a wealthy investment banking executive and Haley donor told CNBC on Tuesday that he’s now convinced Trump will be the Republican nominee and go on to defeat President Joe Biden in November.”

I just held out a very lengthy sigh like someone died. This is the most shameful and senseless lie you have ever posted.
Ridiculous.
No registered Democratic voters can caucus for Republicans in a primary. Na wa for you oooooo. Why do they pick delegates from the Iowa caucus and other caucuses to begin with? You are just saying a very dumb thing. Admit you are dumber than you look.

You accuse someone of not being in the US but you are just projecting because of your crass ignorance or is it illiteracy.
I post satire and sarcasm a lot, but it's usually blatant . On this matter let's see what leftist axios has to say.
How it works: Iowa allows day-of party registration for voters, and Democrats aren't holding in-person presidential caucuses this year.

That's given mischievous anti-Trump voters "a chance to diminish Trump's inevitability," as Don McLeese of West Des Moines put it.
McLeese told Axios he'll be a crossover voter Monday: "I'll hold my nose and caucus for Haley," the former UN ambassador who's been rising in GOP polls.
Lyle Hansen, a Republican precinct captain for Haley in Cedar Rapids, acknowledges that "there could be a good crossover" vote for Haley because Democrats "get to come over and pick the candidate for Biden to oppose."

Jonathan Neiderbach, a Democrat from Des Moines, said he'll register to caucus as a Republican for Haley.

"I believe all Americans should cast a vote against Donald Trump every chance we have," he said.
Reality check: Crossover voters are highly unlikely to help Haley catch Trump, who's consistently had a big lead in Iowa polls.


A top democrat urging them to come out and boost Nikki Haley.
The DNC changed Iowa system of caucus to use mail-in ballots. They also changed the day( replacing Iowa as first vote state to South Carolina ) to another (if I'm right to Feb 3 ). If you can't see why then we should not be breathing in the same oxygen.

Half of the Iowa caucus 100k voters picked the court certified rapist as their pick. That's a very poor showing, considering just under 5% of the electorate participated, guess many people weren't that interested. Criminal trump is a loser and will lose woefully if he ever makes it to the ballots by the way.
Falling for a Twitter lie. Absolutely incorrect twisted lie.Trump broke the existing GOP record Stats can be twisted to confuse.
A jury found Trump guilty of sexual violation, which could mean anything from making comments, sniffing a ladies hair like pedo Joe or groping somebody's bum or even exposing your shriveled penis to anyone. The jury found him not guilty of rape.

Agree with you for the most part here. Except the part where it's the Dems who amplifies the crazies. The Republican party right now is crazy. Trump plays to the crazies because they are the ones who come out to vote in midterms and to caucus in freezing weathers. Trump wasn't/isn't viscerally a MAGA, as most sensible Republicans aren't (if you were to ask them while under truth septum), but as do all faux populists he has his finger on his electorate and will amplify whatever nonsense to get elected. Just look at all the Republicans and what they said before Trump was President and then now. Or even immediately after Jan. 6th and then now.



Good points. But I'd quibble a little here. Suburban woman do care and they viscerally hate Trump and all he is. The GOP went too far with their assault on abortion and woman's rights. They've went so far that I'm sure some


suburban dads will come out to support/protect their daughters rights to choice/life. This can't be understated. Check out the midterms and every election where abortion/choice has been on the ballot. Even in Red States. It's a unquestionable loser. And the more talk of national/federal abortion bans, and more stories of states rather having woman die than have a medical procedure to remove a fetus that won't survive, the more they will lose. That's why Trump was desperately trying to equivocate on it.
I keep wmdering how you in America know a lot about how voters hate Trump.
Explain how no other gop canddate has ever exceeded 12 points to his nearest rival. Trump had 30% points over desantis. Nikki Haley won alot from democrats registering as GOP. In one preccint the ballots totally ran out after democrats surge for Nikki.
So much for living there and knowing more than everyone else

You lie so much that I'd check for myself if you told me the sky was not green, so please provide a link so I can verify for myself where it is from if you don't mind.

That said, there was a vote in a school in democratic America, the America that spends billions shooting it's form of democracy down the throats of any nation that would accept it's dollars or bullets, so they can hardly be blamed for practising what they preach.

Parents who don't like it and lost the vote can organise to win next election or enrol their children in other schools or homeschool, though I'd hope parents would have sufficiently educated their children not to just accept what they read in a book.

Which makes me think of your sort. Good morning basilico. Bible believer, that is. You believe what you read in a book, and think others believe what they read or watch like you do and therefore will practice it.

Below is one for you to consider. She did not think she was a boy, she thought she was dead.

Hahaha You can't pinpoint one blatant lie from me. Not a single one. Out of 9000 plus posts.

That said , that image is from the book Gender Queer that leftists badly want easily available to high school students.

About bible believing, do you find it odd that those who pray to Satan don't believe there is a God?

I quoted from this page. Has a short description of the book . Writer talking about masturbating with a sock in her pants, another page admiring gooey from her vagina.. Typical stuff that should kids should be reading?

Good morning Budaatum.
This is from a Gender Queer ,a high school level book maga has banned in many school districts.The images are suitable for high school kids, I see no reason for the bot banning me.

Yet left-leaning school boards and districts are fighting to keep the book in their schools. In Maine, school board members voted 5-3 to keep the book in the Leavitt High School Library. In Illinois, a high school librarian was making videos on TikTok about how the book can be found in the Lanphier High School Library. Another school board in Chicago voted unanimously to keep the book on school shelves. The Chicago Sun-Times ran the headline “Suburban Chicago School Board Keeps, ‘Gender Queer’ Book That Conservative Parents, Proud Boys Want Banned,” thus associating the idea of banning the book as only being proposed by conservatives and those the Left labels “extremists” and “hate groups.”

Bemeruca,
Fanny Willis now plays the race card over accusations of being with her lover.
Speaking at AME church network (More on the significance of that church later) for a full 35 minutes.


Willis pointed out during her speech that the other two prosecutors assigned to the case, Anna Green Cross and John Floyd, both are white, and noted that allegations have only emerged targeting the two prominent black members of the prosecution — her and Wade.

“Isn’t it them playing the race card when they constantly think I need someone from some other jurisdiction in some other state to tell me how to do a job I’ve been doing almost 30 years?” she asked..........
.........:“You cannot expect black women to be perfect. We need to be allowed to stumble. We need grace. We are all sinners”
"Lord, even right now, I continue to feel unworthy of the honor," she said as she read a letter she wrote to God, while appearing to get choked up
"A divorced single mom who doesn't belong to the right social groups. Doesn't necessarily come from the right family. Doesn't have the right pedigree. The assignment was just too high for lowly me

I strongly suspect Trump will lose every trial before a court this year. His trial judges are nearly all democrat appointed. They and juries will find him guilty of whatever sham case, knowing an appeal process will take months or years before conclusion.
Clear election interference.
This one could not let him attend his mother-in-law's funeral.

I think that
Judges, juries and prosecutors who lose some obvious rigged cases to higher courts on appeal should be punished by sending them straight to jail.

Fanny Willis case rests on Trump challenging an election. Fanny has to prove there was no fraud , hence no basis for Trump and codefendants to challenge the election results. This does not help her if this Raffensburger is removed. It means her and her lover are only two out to get Trump.

Actually if the democrats and RINOs don't want Trump to run, it's very simple. Just acknowledge Trump won in 2020, then bar him because you can't run after having won elections twice.

CNN shocked when Kevin O'Leary explains why Letitia James ( the one with dishwasher sized nipples) case is a complete sham.




TRANSCRIPT – O’LEARY: Well, let’s leave out Trump for a minute, and let’s leave out politics, and just talk about what happens in real estate development anywhere. So, if you’re a developer and you’ve got a building on the block, anywhere in America, and it’s worth, let’s say, $500 million, and you want to build a building right beside it, you go to the bank and say, “This building is worth $500 million. I’d like to borrow a construction finance loan against this asset, and I want you to tell me it’s worth $500 million too.”


And the bank negotiates with you, and says, “Well no, we think it’s worth $400 million,” and you fight it out. You are always trying to show your assets in the brightest light with the sunshine you can possibly determine for them. You want them to be worth the very most because you’re only going to get a 40 to 50 percent loan to value, as it’s called. Then you borrow that money, in the case of a $500 million asset, maybe you get $250 million, and you build the new building with a construction finance loan. So that’s what this case is all about.

And by the way, forget about Trump, every single real estate developer everywhere on earth does this. They always talk about their asset being worth a lot and the bank says no. That’s just the way it is. So in this case, what I’m trying to figure out, and I’m not pro or con, or I don’t care about the politics
who lost money? Nobody. The bank got paid back the construction finance loan, and a new building was built. If you’re going to sue this case and win, you’ve gotta sue every real estate developer everywhere. This is all they do. This is what they do all day long every day. So I don’t think this thing will ever survive appeal regardless of what the fine is. This doesn’t even make sense.

Now look, I understand Trump has a lot of problems in other indictments and everything else, but if you’re a real estate developer, you’re watching this and saying, “What is this? This is ridiculous.
