Well, as an Arizonan over 75 I’d prefer he stay here and do his job getting sites set up for vaccination. The few that are open are filled for months ahead, none in the east valley. But he’s mostly stayed in his hidey-hole since we’ve become one of the globe’s most infectious locations.

Whenever I see pictures of the gold glitz that Trump brought into the White House, I marvel that he can even make gold look cheap and tacky.

That seems to be an odd byproduct of “Everything Trump Touches, Dies”.

Take them off the ballot. Not allowed to advocate violent overthrow.
