"How did we end up with a president and vice president who both wear

more makeup than kylie jenner and Lady Gaga combined???" A line from Jimmy Kimmel's monologue Monday night, which I just caught on youtube. Cracked me up. I noticed that beardo's beard is turning white, and his eyes are super shiny, like they have been polished with mirror-bright. Either that, or some of the weirdest contacts I have ever seen.

I would just prefer that it had been a woman, and that her name was Kamala.

I hope she runs someday.

I was referring to either of the two women who have already run. The loss to our nation because they were denied the office that would have benefitted from their gifts is incalculable.

deranged, demented leader could also give one that look. So many of the people in the administration have had that terrified hostage look about them whenever Trump is speaking. Especially Rubio - he looks like the man who sold his soul and is now having many regrets.

That was to cover up syphilis scars. Such might be true about Trump not sure about Vance.
