It is no small irony that Donald J. Trump, who once gleefully mocked and ridiculed a physically

impaired person on national TV, may soon---judging by his foot dragging, balance problems and awkward denial of mini-strokes no one else had mentioned---be a physically impaired person.

We taxpayers will pay for his medical care. We do the same for all federal prisoners.

covering his face and lifts in his shoes does give me the heebie-jeebies.

Will they let him wear a red tie down to his crotch? ( sorry for that image)

He and his friends at the National Enquirer said Hillary Clinton said Hillary was dying.

https://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2015/10/in-the-enquirer-primary-clintons-campaign-is-dead-literally-214693

“The desperate and deteriorating 67-year-old won’t make it to the White House — because she’ll be dead in six months.”

That’s what anonymous sources told The National Enquirer in one of its latest “bombshell” cover stories about Hillary Clinton. The 2016 hopeful “is engaging in a massive cover-up about her health,” which has suffered from blood clots, brain cancer symptoms, secret strokes, endometriosis, depression, alcoholism, paranoia and multiple sclerosis, among other ailments, according to the Enquirer. (What doesn’t this woman have?)

An Enquirer source broke it down like this: “Hillary shouldn’t be on the campaign trail — she should be home making out her will!”

They're hoping for the same help this year.

As Attorney General and a crimes commission to take them all down. No reason she can not help appoint the commission with Elizabeth Warren and Katie Porter turned loose. Kamala can behind the scenes, with her prosecutorial experience, help advise. If a VP can be completely in charge of a Pandemic, a fool with zero experience that licks a bigger fools ass, I feel damn sure VP Harris can help prosecute treason.

Because if there is any hint that the White House is directing the investigation, and not the DOJ, we'll be accused of what Trump is doing.

We don't need Kamala or Joe to be involved - quite the opposite. They need to stay as far away from it as possible.

Accusations of decisions made in "Smoke filled rooms" is not what we need.

You are correct. We play by the rules. That works well, (sarcasm), but time to bring rules back, you are exactly right. We need no stench of republican corruption on us.

but no celebrations are in order. I do not wish disability on anyone, even including the tRump.

This is not what we are about.

Healthy, happy people - that, hopefully, is what we are about.

I would like everyone to have a long, happy, healthy life.

That is why I am voting for Joe and Kamala.

A long, long time ago, I fell in love with a party.

It was the Democratic party. The party that loves everyone and does their level best to help everyone.

I am still, deeply, in love.
