Today my Gran died. She was 92. Me & my mum had just spent nearly six years looking after her after she had been diagnosed with dementia. At first I didn't think I wd be able to do it cos that sort of thing really isn't my thing. But I managed. Now I really miss her. RIP Gran.

Not only is it 100% certain that DT wd lose to any Dem candid with the poss exception of K Harris (but he wd prob lose to her too) he wd drag down far too many down ballot Republicans with him. So far too likely to gift the Dems a trifecta. Far too risky for Reps to nom Trump.

So let me get this straight. I'm now allowed to tweet that the notorious antisemite Tony Greenstein is in fact a notorious antisemite cos the Court of Appeal has now agreed that the notorious antisemite Tony Greenstein is in fact an antisemite?

The Court of Appeal has agreed that Tony Greenstein is a "notorious antisemite"; and if he doesn't pay his legal costs, he'll also be a bankrupt.

Why bother attacking Trump when he's constantly damaging his own campaign? Let Trump and DeSantis's online army of surrogates do the dirty job of damaging Trump while DeSantis himself keeps his hands clean. Besides why do Chris Christie's job for him? 😂😂😂

So far, DeSantis has not gone after Trump by name. Since we know DeSantis does not "fear" Trump who couldn't be a bigger jerk if he tried, what is DeSantis thinking here? Think about it. Who is DeSantis' target? Not the hardcore 25% of GOP voters who would love Trump if he

You're just repeating Team Trump lies. Can't you think for yourself? Don't you know that Trump was a Dem for decades. Not just any old Democrat either. A New York Democrat. When Team Trump ridiculously try to make out that RDS is a RINO it's nothing but pure projection 😂😂😂

Fun to dunk on Trump. But it's sad too. The enthusiasm has obviously gone. Time is passing. We're all getting older. Obviously that includes Trump and the people who would have been likely to turn up to his rallies in the past. Too much like a band playing on past their prime.
