It’s interesting how the governor repeatedly says how the conversation with Trump was shocking and that some elements would send chills down your spine.

We could have packed the courts, Biden could have stepped down and Harris could have said not me not a chance, our ossified leaders in the House and Senate could have ended their own thievery and self aggrandizement and gone home, we could have read the room a lot better and moderated the message, but we didn’t. Instead we whined, cried, deplored, and jumped up quickly to turn off Fox News instead of countering with our own propaganda. Maybe seeing US Marines threatening by their presence US citizens will wake up those who still insist on only going high and gripping their principles. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact is that fear of non European immigration is what drove his success. The American people support them in large part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Referring to Trump as a king is an insult to the remaining monarchs of the world, almost all of whom are very much nicer people than he is. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
