    It’s interesting that language like bullshit and goddamn has entered politics. Walk tweeted “bullshit” and this ad had “goddamn.” Times have changed.

      During covid the (then) Maryland Governor Hogan said the only respectable thing I heard in his career which was ‘wear the damn mask’

      Second place was when I heard he wasn’t running again. He wants to be president but I just wanted him the heck out of office. Man wishes he was Walz so bad right now.

    One of the very few Venn diagrams where Trump and Deadpool intersect.

    Joke’s on you! I’m gonna live to 102 and THEN die, like the city of Detroit

      Detroit has gotten a lot better in the past few years, it’s been a very impressive turnaround for the city, while Trump still only knows it as the city with those evil black people

        Trump still thinks Johnny Carson is alive. That fact would have been non stop news for a week of Biden had said it.

        Even this is outdated!

        Detroit was getting better in like 2015 and was very nice to live in 2017.

        Today, 7 years later. It’s objectively nice. Lots of old and forgotten buildings now hold nice restaurants, hotels, bars, stores, you name it.

        Its amazing what they’ve done and it only gets better each year.

          You’re not wrong, but we really really need to spread the wealth (as it were) from downtown and midtown out to the neighborhoods. If you just drive a mile down Jefferson from the Ren Cen and hang a left on Chene you will immediately see what I’m talking about.

          Perhaps some areas, but it was definitely not looking its best around 2015. This is coming from an outsider who just saw a town/city which had lost itself and was still getting back on its feet. There was very much a case of people who had lost a lot and it just did not quite feel safe. I don’t doubt it is looking up now, I just didn’t see it at the time (this would have been around 2014 - 2015).

      That joke is more tired than Trump looks. GTFO here with that washed up shit. Detroit is a fucking fantastic city.
