Maskless Joe Biden boarding Air Force once, using the Big Boy stairs, after being diagnosed with Covid, hours after announcing he would drop out if diagnosis with a medical condition. 2024 (colorized, in real time)

could use a ramp, but the slope might make it too dangerous for the Secret Service to board the plane with him.

Would have been one of the most replayed videos, except, the selfie at the worst possible moment in history.

It's a good thing he got the timing right. That is one angle in which you might have been able to see the gel-pack containing the fake blood as Trump pressed it against his ear.

The Trump - Vance platform has been officially endorsed, at the Republican National Convention, by a former pro wrestler who was hugely popular in the 1980s and had a number of toys, candies, and breakfast cereals made in his image.



What more do we need?

Recently released picture of the shooter on the roof who was executed by the snipers so that he would not have a story to tell.

The left can't conspiracy theory.

Trump is a threat to democracy.

They backed Biden. I'm sure he pocketed 10% of the cash and gave the rest to Ukraine.

There's a Twitter account called "Biden's Wins" which I follow, as I like to be aware of what the leftists are thinking / saying.

Lately, that account as been more "Trump's Losses" than "Biden's Wins," but they deleted my comment and blocked the account I was using when I pointed that out.

(It's going to be interesting to watch that account over the weekend, as our news depts are expecting Biden to announce his resignation, an so we're staffing up the facility all weekend.)

Anyway, here's their most recent post:



Now, they didn't bother to cite which "Analysts" they're quoting, but whether you liked Trump's speech or not, the fact of the matter is that he stood there and spoke coherently and understandably for over an hour and a half non-stop.

If the Dems could get Biden to match that, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.
