Introducing Perry. Named after: Meow-thew Perry, Kitty Perry, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Steve (Screech) Perry, heck, all the Perrys! The real reason he’s named Perry is he’s got a tremendous “pair” which will have to be dealt with soon. The next door neighbors essentially have a cat factory. Every now and then one striking individual captures my heart and Perry is the latest.

Trump says he would be a dictator only on ‘day one’ of second term (yahoo.com)
During a Fox News town hall Tuesday, former President Trump responded to a question from host Sean Hannity if he would abuse his power if elected to a second term. Trump said he would be a dictator only on day one.
“Except for Day One,” Trump responded, repeating the phrase.
Asked for clarification, Trump said, “I want to close the border, and I want to drill, drill, drill.”
Moments later, Trump doubled down on his comments.
“I love this guy,” Trump said, referring to Hannity. “He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said: ‘No, no, no. Other than Day One.’ We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.”

President Biden , on his re-election campaign: “If Trump wasn’t running, I’m not sure I’d be running.”
Well he’s done a heck of a job preparing someone else to take over.
Does this mean if Trump loses the nomination he will back out? If so his failure to allow any discussion of other Democratic candidates doesn’t help much.

I’m a bed-wetter like the rest of them but it’s just really hard to ignore the reality that this sort of doomgloom gets so much attention for the NYT (and any other outlet).

Yes, I believe the tactic has been used many times in history. “Just grant me extraordinary powers for a short while, then I’ll give them back”

Rep. Massie, you’re a sitting Member of Congress. This is antisemitic, disgusting, dangerous, and exactly the type of thing I was talking about in my Senate address. Take this down.
