WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?
TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with?
REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations
TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Parents, if you have dropped off a kid named Jimmy in the morning and picked up a kid named Janet at the end of the school day, please return to the school: You've driven off with some other family's child.
Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

Enough of these horrible people.
Pope Leo XIV: Someone who says 'I'm against abortion' but says 'I'm in favor of the death penalty' is not really pro-life. Someone who says that 'I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants who are in the United States,' I don't know if that's pro-life.
JENNINGS: Let's say Democrats take the House. How sure are you that they would immediately move to impeach President Trump?
MIKE JOHNSON: It's guaranteed. Probably on the first day.

A lot of very sad people decided they're very brave and set up bluesky accounts just to start trouble about PAC.
Please dive head first into the nearest puddle.
The thing I'll remember most about Ben is how kind and fun he was with my kids when I'd bring them around.
Ben was a generational talent inside the ring and a great dude outside of it. May you rest in and may your family find peace. ❤️
