"SNIP......

“While the speech was billed as a rally to help Pennsylvania’s top GOP candidates, Mehmet Oz, for Senate, and State Sen. Doug Mastriano, for governor, Trump spent most of his two-hour address airing his old personal grievances, and some new ones,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

“He briefly mentioned Oz and Mastriano, before immediately pivoting to his anger at Biden, and the recent FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago home as they tried to recover classified documents. He called it an ‘evil and demented persecution of you and me.’ It took about 80 minutes for Trump to return to the GOP candidates on the ballot this year.”

of verbal diarrhea for over an hour? I couldn't listen for more than a minute or so.

I think I may have listened to about 10 minutes of his bullshit total during those four long years of his misadministration.

Rocks are hard, water is wet, trump is a narcissistic asshole.

Some things are just inherently true.

It's getting ridiculously nauseating to see her at literally every Trump event. Never seen someone that desperate for attention.

...of his speeches.

"Trump spent most of his two-hour address airing his old personal grievances, and some new ones...”

"It took about 80 minutes for Trump to return to the GOP candidates on the ballot this year."


Yet here we are in 2022, and there are fools following Trump around the country like Deadheads, hanging on every word of his Castro-length tirades. Even worse, about a third of the country thinks he's "their guy".
