He served with. His pious words about his religion make me want to vomit after he sat on his hands while a million people died. Trump shit and pissed all over that fake Christian and that stink will never come off.

He's using what's left of his fifteen minutes of fame, but he will soon disappear again. Nobody wants him to run for president, except (he thinks) God.

They'll harp on his words until they incidentally give him room to recreate himself. His emergence into the spotlight will serve as news for a month of so.

call themselves 'helping' the GQP US Taliban Party of treason as much as possible.

You know that that so-called liberal but not liberal but mostly corporate media has to try it's best like I said to keep the GQP US Taliban party in the "game." Look at CBS today saying that they have 'someone' who has the REAL hard drive of Hunter Biden's hard drive WHO'D they get this from, Boris & Natasha Hell, and I thought CNN was bad. CBS has jumped the shark. That hard drive isn't a lap top.

I haven't watched CBS news since Rather left, and am starting to not listen to nor watch these news programs any longer, and only watch certain anchors on MSNBC. The woman doing this story Catherine whatever her name is worked at Faux News. ALL I needed to know. Once again, there is NO Hunter Biden laptop. Just a bogus hard drive that the russians helped make for tRump and his gang of thieves to hurt Pres. Biden via his son. HOPE Dems get in head of this fake narrative that CBS and this woman Catherine is running with. Their ratings must be in the toilet for them to be doing this crap.

tRump just announced he's running for president, cuing up the subject for national attention. Pretending nearly half of all voters won't be voting red no matter who and ignoring them isn't an option, of course.

VP Pence is hinting he'll run, talking about tRump, AND pumping his new book about all of this, so there he is. But if not him, who should get this media exposure to offset The Orange Candidate?

How about "Two more years!"-Governor DeSantis instead? He's currently the strongest contender, even stronger than tRump, with Pence considered less likely than both. Shouldn't Pence be given the boot for him?

Rick Scott? Mike Pompeo? Ted Cruz? All contenders for president?

I don't remember this kind of fawning media coverage when Biden put out a heart-wrenching book about his son Beau, and the political vision they shared.

But if it's a gqp thug who with zero vision, a personality that makes turnips look lively, and a brain smaller than a quark, well, let's kiss the ring and exalt him to the stratosphere!

This is the umpteenth reason why I call them the traitor media.

Because they are.

loser.

Trumpists hate him. Moderate GOP'ers don't want "Church Karen" as POTUS so his natural base is approximately that of Liz Cheney.
