Biden was doing one of the hardest jobs in the world plus campaigning and it caught up to him so he decided to pass the baton to someone he knew that could keep Trump out of the WH. I like to think that one of the factors to Biden passing the baton was a John Fogerty song. Cheers!

NPR fact checked Trump’s last news conference and found he told 162 lies and distortions. That’s got to be a record. Cheers!

Up until 3 weeks ago Putin likely figured Trump could get back in the WH and help him keep the war raging on. But now he is seeing that that isn’t likely to happen so he might try getting in the Democrats good books be making a deal with Biden. Cheers and happy weekend!

These two business partners are expected to exhibit due diligence and good faith in doing the utmost to assist in selling the other’s product when the shipments arrive, thereby creating the incentive to perform well on fiduciary grounds, regardless of utter distain for the other‘s national product.

Like maybe when he was serving his Country he was wounded and he had to use a tampon to stop the bleeding. Or maybe while he was teaching he had a program to raise money for female hygiene products for poverty stricken teens. Or maybe while he was Governor he visited a town that was hit by a tornado and threw tampons to the crowd. Or maybe the Trump supporters are just being ridiculous. Cheers! less

And I also wonder if the drug cartels start giving him donations will he start claiming that there is nothing wrong with a little Fentanyl on a Saturday night. Cheers!

But Trump isn't happy about it and he has been congratulating Putin for getting the better part of the deal. Trump has also been claiming that this exchange cost the US billions of dollars - but if he was in charge it wouldn’t of cost the US a penny. I think it would have been better for Trump’s image if he sent all the hostages a life time supply of American apple pies and paid for a red white and blue fire work display. Cheers! less

"US prosecutors on Tuesday touted a major breakthrough in a crackdown against Chinese money laundering networks they say are working with Mexican drug cartels, announcing charges against 24 people for allegedly taking part in a scheme to launder more than $50 million in drugs.
It’s one of the biggest busts yet as federal agencies step up efforts to target the highest levels of Chinese money laundering rings that experts and officials tell CNN are the go-to partners for Mexico’s most dangerous drug cartels that traffic fentanyl, cocaine and methamphetamine into the US.
Two “fugitives” named in the indictment unsealed in California have been arrested — one by the Chinese government and the other by the Mexican government, the Drug Enforcement Administration said. It’s a rare breakthrough for US law enforcement collaboration with China a... less

Trump might of had a chance if it was just regular Swift fans but these are super fans so Trump doesn't stand a chance of winning. Cheers and happy weekend!

"Once upon a time, in a hidden corner of a bustling city, there lay a quaint little bookstore named “The Curiosity Cabinet.” It was a place where the walls were lined with shelves that seemed to reach for the heavens, filled with tomes that spoke of distant lands, bygone eras, and philosophies that tickled the intellect. This was not just any bookstore; it was a sanctuary for knowledge seekers and dreamers alike.
The store was owned by a gentle soul named Alistair, an erudite gentleman in his sixties, whose love for literature and history permeated every nook and cranny of the place. Alistair had always believed that knowledge should be a bridge, not a wall. With the wisest of hearts, he welcomed everyone into his domain, eager to share stories that transcended age and background.
One sunny afternoon, as golden rays poured through the aged windows, a curi... less

And at another interview Trump said Harris will be thought of as a little play thing by World leaders. I think those 2 things will cost him a lot of black and woman's votes. Cheers!
