I wonder if every signed copy came with a dried drop of blood from his ear after he heroically survived the event in the photo on the cover?
None of the six signed copies I purchased did, which is why I returned to buy four more books - just in case. Alas, by then the signed books had sold out. I was at least hoping for a replica 3" square white qauze bandage included with each purchase to use as a bookmark. But again, somebody at Winning Team Publishing dropped the ball. Perhaps I'll create an aftermarket qauze bookmark and send a sample for President Trump's approval. If I'm fortunate, he and Melania might invite me for dessert at the WH, or better yet, Mar-a-lago, as I visited the WH already as a lad, many years ago.
But that's exactly it @Phool that's what 47 does. He blames democrats for every problem. And America is great. We don't need him or Harris to be a great country. We'd be great with Romney or Clinton as president, or even a committee with both Rs and Ds
He says the govt is corrupt and is the deep state, then adds four key members to the cabinet that are clearly not even the most qualified and nowhere near the top of these respective fields.
Some of us believe education, food, justice, national defense are essential, which needs the government for protection, and America has been great because we excel in these areas. Others make a mockery of this, and that is exactly what 47 is doing with his cabinet, full stop.
I think most presidents in the past decades blame the other party for every problem, both sides do it because unfortunately, it is status quo.
Agreed! I remember when Ronald Regan said the only good democrat is a dead democrat and when George W. bush called Nancy Pelosi the enemy from within. It’s always been like this!

I dont recall Regan saying that. The only thing I remember him saying about the democrate party was "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, the party left me" which ironically rings true today. The party is now siding with the entertainment elite and forgetting about the middle class by running on extreme far left issues that most Americans do not agree with.
Pelosi, isn't she the one that staged a coup with Biden and said eff you to democracy and forced Kamala as the dem candidate without a primary. I dont know about you but it sure looks like Bush was correct calling her the enemy within.

Great article here that I heard about through a kind soul, and one that
all but the extremely wealthy here (I sure as hell ain't) might find interesting and useful.
How many threads have you created since making your Farewell Announcement a couple weeks ago?
Oh don’t be rude to Brian you have the choice to just scroll right past it! Don’t get your panties all twisted up
Oh I see, so some should be treated as some sort of “protected Class” around here? Give me a freakin break!! Some in this safe space need to be called out at times for all the hate directed at anyone who does not comply to this common LOSING ideology… As I always say, the hypocrisy of this place has no bounds.
So I Hope some of y’all made it down under, the show the other night was so much fun, much better then Auckland for us. Melbourne never disappoints for a good ole time, and it’s so close to some epic surf….gonna Head Down to Bells here in a bit after breaky for nostalgia sake before the show tonight…Hoping to get a little Tremor Trump, in mean Christ…lol Mahalo

Again. MAGA is weird.
The calling out of "Weird" should never have been dropped from the Harris campaign. It was their most accurate foil to and description of the Felon's campaign. And looking at the recent Felon appointments, weirdness abounds.

This kind of nonsense is why, on occasion, I just want to bail on this place. All the bullshit personal stuff. I have called out MAGAs on what I see as bullshit, but it's always in a general way about a large group of people with a particular agenda and outlook. Find a post where I personally attack any individual here, and I will owe and give that person an apology, no problem. But I doubt anyone can.
But a few others here, on the other hand continue to make personal attacks on individuals, including myself. That' not how it works here. And it's not like I need "protection" from anyone here. Hardly. No, that's not the issue. The issue is that these personal attacks by people who ignore the ground rules here regarding something I might say and believe just clogs up the place and interferes with the adult conversation some of us are trying to have. Someone here can disagree with me- fine- but personal attack are out, period. Continue to do that with me, and I'll flag every goddamn post anyone makes toward me that doesn't follow the guidelines here.
On the other hand, if someone wants to have a grown up conversation, that fine. I'm not opposed to conversing with people who disagree with what I believe or think. But if anyone continues to shit on me, I'll flag their post every single time. I'm over it.

@brianlux you're responding exactly the way the QtRUmplican sycophant trolls want you to react. The one thing they hope to gain is owning libs. Don't react, respond or get angry. Just laugh at them, ignore them, and go on leading your much better life than them.

The funny thing is (I know, I have a sick sense of humor ) is that I am right about the MAGAs not being happy with how things are going. If they are so happy, they would not have this ongoing venomous need to be so angry and spiteful. They also know deep down inside (but will never admit it) that they are going to be as fucked as the libs they think they "owned". They didn't "own" anyone, they fucked everyone including themselves. That's sad because really, the sensible thing would be for all of us to stand together in the face of who is really owning who: a handful of billionaires and the rest of us. Why they don't get that is beyond be. I guess some people just have to be angry and spiteful because it is their nature (also sad because that gains one nothing).
As for ignoring the MAGA trolls, I've said my piece, and I'm over it, and I'm over them.
