I don't see my favorite Secret Service agent. He's the one with the dark hair and buzz cut. He looks like what you'd imagine an Italian American boxer named "Rocky" to look like in 1955. A TOTAL badass.
I always feel better when he's on scene.
My cat will sometimes sit on my lap to watch the rally, but she stays away from the keyboard!
While watching the group abound DJT. Noticed so many men wanting an autograph. Men of all ages. Never thought of this behavior as being masculine but it hit me what a powerful role model Trump has been for the men of our country. Men who have had to endure the sissifacation forced on them by the PC left and media Trump is the leader our country has needed
He got his signature, and looked thrilled. LOL
DAVEY this is MY LAST STAND, I refuse to listen to ANY of them ANY MORE!!! if they think they can lose that many of their listeners and viewers SO BE IT!!! I REFUSE to give them ANY ratings!!! My life has become VERY SMALL lately, but I CAN’T STAND the non Trump babble any longer!!! I AM going to remain optimistic for Mr. T. These rallies and viewers watching tell me they are ALL just FULL OF WHAT FLIES EAT!!!!
You are absolutely correct!
Love it!
That’s a wall trophy for sure!
Regardless, it is beyond rational to think that it was a giant conspiracy in the way that he was describing it.
You are definitely on top of things! This reminds me of you getting your umbrella, whatever it took :-)
My cats aren’t as well behaved. The one that’s the worse is the one who walked across a few minutes ago. He, of course, is a guy someone through out. It’s typical for the homeless to some how come to our door. We don’t live out in the country but a subdivision. He’s actually a very friendly sweet guy without front claws. (people declaw them and throw them out)
Hi HM. Men have been asking for autographs since they went to their first baseball game. Sports world autographs is a big business, and men aren't shy about it at all.
It wasn’t the right time when Biden ran in 1988, either.
I think you’re right. He asked if there were any Bernie supporters there and there were some cheers/claps and he said, that’s OK. Perhaps some that were there are leaning towards Bernie but this was an opportunity to see what Trump had to say, just in case Hillary wins. I think some probably just came b/c he’s a “celebrity” and potentially the next Prez, but there were quite a few Trump hats.
When I listen. As I said briefly. Rush was mocking the conspiracy He just mirror talked what others said and then took it to the higher level to show how rediculous it was
He even implied that maybe those in the room could hear well (they didn’t care to listen) that it was the out feed that got cut
We will never know.
My latest theory. “. Gawduh ‘s “revenge.
REC has mocked him once too often.
ZAP with the lightening bolt to take out his microphone!
She did the debate last night and had to “work”/exert herself - she needs a few days off to rest and build up her stamina again.
Great speech.....Ringing Cruz’s bell with NY values....
” Men who have had to endure the sissifacation forced on them by the PC left and media Trump is the leader our country has needed”
Very true.
