10:43 am

wingding

cross, like the 10:02 comment ... he really seems to be bothered by that .. i'm glad

10:46 am

MollyL

For those of you who have no clue, TACO stands for Trump Always Chickens Out, an acronym that mocks Trump's back and forth on tariff policies.

10:48 am

BzznBea

He is such a douche.

11:57 am

BzznBea

Namaste

wingding

most notably in 'back to the future'

12:01 pm

wingding

errs

12:01 pm

wingding

oops

12:02 pm

rururocks

He wishes he was as smart as a chicken

12:04 pm

wingding

i don't think he wishes anything, other than getting richer and belittling ppl that oppose him

12:06 pm

rururocks

He has destroyed this country. He has divided this country, pissed off our neighbors, and is heading us towards a tecession

12:07 pm

bichon

I always say to Mr. B "at least my Dad isn't here to see this"

12:07 pm

wingding

agreed, but, i don't get how his supporters are all in on that

12:08 pm

wingding

all this to return to christian values that we moved on from i'm really afraid of the education destruction ... anyone know of hillsdale college ?

12:22 pm

MollyL

I have always said that Trump doesn't bother me half as much as the people who support him do.

12:24 pm

MollyL

Those Hillsdale people are drinking some serious Kool Aid

12:25 pm

TallMike

Many of his supporters are ambivalent but think him way better than Kamala would have been.

12:28 pm

TallMike

sire

1:15 pm

hurshy

thank you!

1:15 pm

hurshy

but the only reason i have ci8 is cause i went thru the chat and found the clue

1:16 pm

hurshy

that's often the reason one has harder words, because they were already clued and easier ones weren't

1:17 pm

hurshy

1:28 pm

anawaltgal

8:12 pm

hokie carla

well, I could not figure out any way to make that work and had to look it up. I swear I tried that though. maybe you should have told me one could not simply walk into that S word.

8:12 pm

hokie carla
