Donny, are you ok?

[O Really]

The funny thing about calling Trump “DonOLD” is that Biden is older than he is, and his brain was so mushed that he was exposed in front of a national TV audience and was forced to exit the presidential race - and yet, if he didn’t quit, you probably would have still voted for him. You would willingly voted for a walking cadaver.

Yeah, but that walking cadaver didn't have advisors that wanted to "move fast and break things" or ignore court orders. So if a Trump voter said to me, "I hate Democrats and hate Biden/Harris the worst and I'd vote for a random village idiot before voting for them" then I'd say, "cool - I understand why you voted for Trump." But if they said they voted for Trump because they really thought he was a good choice for the country, then I know who the village idiot is.

That’s fine, but I was pointing out the irony of referring to Trump as “old.”

Both Trump and Biden are way over the hill. Neither should have been the final candidates.

The funny thing about defending DonOLD is that these criticisms of Joe apply to DonOLD in spades. He is nearly as old as Joe and his brain is so mushed that he was caught lying over 30,000 times in his first admin*, and he demonstrates a divorce from reality on a daily basis that can only be chalked up to progressive dementia. That's why this thread exists. So, excuuuuse me for holding a mirror up to the GQP's own gripes. The "irony" is in the RepuQ selection, not my mocking it. I'm glad it bothers you, thanks for letting me know.

Of course I would have held my nose and voted for Joe if I only had the 2 realistic choices. At least Joe doesn't bring DonOLD's lawbreaking, hatred, misogyny, White supremacy and cruelty to the table.

It looks like Newsmax may have been an hour late to the party:

Trump hijacks Tulsi Gabbard’s swearing-in with rant on closing Department of Education ‘immediately’

Donald Trump hijacked Tulsi Gabbard’s swearing-in ceremony to rant on his plans to “immediately” close the Department of Education and complain about the way American aircraft carriers launch their fighter aircraft.

The president swore in Gabbard at the White House as his Director of National Intelligence on Wednesday before becoming embroiled in an hour-long question-and-answer session with reporters....

Or, the studio cued up the wrong segment. Either way, heads will roll for embarrassing the on-air talent like that.

I wondered when the press all got up without shouting, "What about the swearing-in?"

Meh, it's the new golden age.

Donald Trump’s Verbal Slip Revives His Most Notorious Hot-Mic Scandal
The president's flub to reporters triggered flashbacks.

... While speaking to reporters, the president twice in quick succession mistakenly referred to the social media platform TikTok as “Tic Tac,” the brand of breath mints. The blunder was widely mocked online....

September 2005, was married to pregnant Melania.

National embarrassment.

Tic Tacs - they're always on his mind.

Guess nobody told Donnie.

The Gulf of Mexico has been named since the 16th century, when Spanish explorers began to map the region following the arrival of Hernán Cortes in 1519. The term arises because this vast expanse of water was located east of the lands we know today as Mexico, which were then dominated by the Mexican Empire.
Since when is it called the "Gulf of Mexico"?
XVI Century: The name "Gulf of Mexico" appears on maps and historical documents since the first Spanish explorations. European cartographers began to use it to designate this semi-finished basin, because of its proximity to the Mexican territory.
Although there was no Mexico as a country (independent since 1821), the name referred to the Mesoamerican region under Spanish control and linked to the Mexican empire.
It was named before the existence of the United States
The name "Gulf of Mexico" was established long before the formation of the United States in 1776.
During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the area that today includes the states of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Florida was part of Spanish and French colonial territories, and had no relation with the future country.
This reinforces that the Gulf of Mexico, both as a geographical region and nomenclature, has historical roots that precede the creation of the United States.
Conclusion
The Gulf of Mexico has carried its name for more than 500 years, long before the United States existed as a nation. This term reflects its historical and geographical connection with Mesoamerican lands, being a denomination that persists since the first maps elaborated by European colonizers.
