An American couple visited Jerusalem.
The wife a Republican died.
The freight to ship her corpse back to the states for burial costs $10, 000, vs local burial $2, 000.
The husband chose the former -- shipping.
The mortician advised, "Why not bury her here in the holy land and save yourself $8, 000 in the process?"
The husband replied, "Two thousand some years ago, a man was buried here. Three days later he came back alive. I can't take that chance."

I remember when my little Donnie was born. It was so scary! If Fred hadn't dropped a deuce earlier, the poor tyke would have drowned in the bowl for sure! 🚽

Before I gave birth to my beautiful son Donald, rectal births were unheard of. Thank God Fred was quick with the catch net or the kid would have drowned!

How can we change our country when our politicians can’t change their diapers!!!

Any candidate pledging to pardon Donald trump should be disqualified for giving aid and comfort to an insurrectionist. Technically a president would have the power to pardon him, but not without violating 14A3. To campaign on doing something disqualifying for office - this should be called out, loudly.

[Michael-igne]

It is INSANE that Trump is still relevant.

Trump is going to be 78 in 2024, and he is making a lot of silly gaffes. I think he is getting senile.

*How true peace will be achieved*




The Bible states that God will [replace] human governments (kingdoms). He “will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever.”—Daniel 2:44.

Jehovah God will _soon_ do what humans are incapable of doing—bring true and lasting *peace.* How? His heavenly Kingdom government will eliminate all weapons and end all violence.—Psalm 46:8, 9.

Chris Christie is really starting to grow on me. Not as a candidate; none of these wackjobs are left enough for me. _Biden_ isn't left enough for me.
But I'm enjoying watching Christie go at it, both barrels blazing.

Political preferences aside, I think we can all agree that Claudine Gay's resignation is a welcome blow against woke antisemitism.

On the ninth day, the lord took a huge dump, and named it "Donald Trump" 🤪

[fromduskuntodawn]

Lame is right, this whole thing feels lame.

Since Trump will be in jail, the RNC should be considering who will be their Candidate in Nov. as, it certainly should not be Trumpty Dumpty.

[reginafefifofina]

😂🤣 2:13 times I can’t stop laughing- too lame to lead and too weak to win….

[WeAreBlessed]

These people talk about everything except for THE STAGGERING NUMBER OF MISSING CHILDREN THROUGHOUT THE US. What are they going to do to protect our kids from human traffickers???

It makes me think some of these politicians are protecting these predators are they not speaking about these missing children...???

The only shine there ever was on pudding fingers was his sweat 😂😂

[cellolion]

How about giving details of an effective, say, migrant/border solution? Even if the candidate doesn't smell terrible -- ( such a great Presidential qualification ! ) could it be worthwhile to actually defend their candidacy with detailed programs and policies that they, the wannabe candidate proposes?
