A+++ i heard on the drivetime radio this AM, a guy called in who coaches his 6th grade daughter’s rec league basketball team, that they played Sasha’s team this past Sat AM and the ONE was there in all his splendor adorned with copious SS agents, to just be a regular dad and cheer on his daughter. This guy said, i didn’t vote for the guy but it was pretty wild meeting him, he was def starstruck. i have to say, confronted with the same situation, i do not think i could do it. i couldn’t shake his hand and be fake nice to him.

The Anointed One has assumed the role of Arrogator-in-Chief:

He arrogates the Office of the President by virtue of not being a natural born citizen;
He arrogates the authority of the Congress by ruling through a plethora of Executive Orders;
He arrogates the provisions of the U.S. Constitution by simply ignoring them on his path to turning our Beloved Nation into a Socialist gulag.

Arrogate

Feeling the need to be serious there will be no fliverus and twisted convules of thought here...arrogant is the means of getting on an arro plane like Air Fierce One. Arrogate is the means of getting off it.
