Re: AMAZON TO CITY: DROP DEAD
MagaMan's national man-made emergency manufactured in the Rose Garden today has just put Texas in play in 2020. Let's see if the GOP can lose Texas and retain the Presidency.

Re: AMAZON TO CITY: DROP DEAD
I agree, having lived there long enough to bond with the city and consider it my second home.
So shame on Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for cheering Amazon's decision to renege. She doesn't even represent that district. She needs to work on getting rid of the GREEN NEW DEAL behind her own ears.

Re: AMAZON TO CITY: DROP DEAD
Amazon is no paragon, but its abrupt withdrawal was a blow to New York, which stood to gain 25,000 jobs and an estimated $27 billion in tax revenue over the next two decades. Right. An imbroglio both for the city and the company but more embarrassingly for the city which just got stood up on Valent...

At 243 pounds, Trump is now officially 'obtuse'
NYT — WASHINGTON — Despite telling his doctor that he would like to lose 10 to 15 pounds, President Trump gained weight over the past year and is now officially obese. The president was weighed last week as part of his annual physical, and is now at 243 pounds, according to Dr. Sean Conley, the Whit...

Re: AMAZON TO CITY: DROP DEAD
