He's probably being kept alive on injections of amphetamine and B-12. Like Hitler.

Hi Zed: Last year I read this tome about the Nazi use of amphetamines. You raise an excellent point about our Fuehrer: m.media-amazon.com

Yup.
Though I have to ask... is Pres Trump self-aware enough to know when he is lying?

That interviewer is a spineless wus. Trump asked him over and over why he didn't agree and the best he came up with is "we'll agree to disagree"? His answer should have been, "because I'm not a bold faced liar" or "because I agree with reality which you clearly don't". Stop treating the criminal Dotard with any respect.

These comments are priceless. First saying Trump is being kept alive by injections after supporting a president who was actually being kept alive by injections until his feebleness became so prevalent your party had to replace him. And saying he was lying about the tats? The MS13 was photoshopped but the symbols that represent MS13 were not. You idiots just keep digging a deeper hole.

Read the social media posts Russians allegedly used to influence 2016 election cycle
Also in November 2016, their "United Muslims of America" accounts posted messages like this, according to the indictment: "American Muslims [are] boycotting elections today, most of the American Muslim voters refuse to vote for Hillary Clinton because she wants to continue the war on Muslims in the middle east and voted yes for invading Iraq."

Trump definitely enjoyed injections of adrenochrome, extracted from the young children he raped.
It was a special menu item at Epstein Island.

He heard he ate all the demon babies that were found in the basement of Hillary's pizza parlor to absorb their demonic powers. I dunno if its true but that's what the people say. Ask any American. Americans do not like baby eating demons. Trust me.

Trump's claim is beyond ridiculous.
I can see why they were desperate to avoid Due Process.
MS-13 does not use "codes." That is for ----- organization like our Los Angeles Sheriff's Department gangs.
MS-13 tattoos say MS-13 in plain English (and Spanish).

Not a single person, including officers, ICE agents, witnesses, or any expert, said this. This argument was made by the Trump Admin AFTER he was deported.
And your President is too stupid to know the actual MS-13 letters and numbers were photoshopped on there.
You should take your own advice.

"His insistence was comical. Pathetic."ctrdibly embarrassing to a normal personust denies the obvious truth right on network TV, as if millions of people watching are just stupid and he sort of gets away with it except for with late night TV hosts but most people are sleeping when they talk about it.

OK, two things ...
First and foremost, your alias admits the image was photoshopped.
That's a good first step.
Then ...
... but the symbols that represent MS13 were not ...
Which symbols?
Please be specific?
And, I will go back to my original question on this topic ...
Why is not he entitled to due process so that all these accusations can be properly addressed and countered, as appropriate?
Due Process.
A 9-0 decision by the Supreme Court.

... and, fwiw, Pres Trump, during that interview, looked to have admitted that he could bring Mr Garcia back into the US.
So, why is not Pres Trump obeying the court order to do that?

I love it - the MSM has no credibility and Trump just took whatever confidence that numbnuts had and crushed it. I think there was even a little puddle of piss by by the reporter's leg after that. Liberals and your biased Democrat operatives in the MSM no longer get to push your lies unchecked. This should have happened a long time ago. After Trump gets 60 Minutes shut down, maybe the MSM will finally learn their lesson.

He has donr more to weaken our nation than any enemy has in 80 years....hmm...wonder if he is working for one of those enemies? Of course he is. It's time to wake up and face the truth.

True, perhaps then the accusations that Trump is a Fascist wannabe dictator will be undeniable! And Scotts will come out of the closet and wear his Nazi uniform in public, which you know he is dying to do and even believes he can do so in this country because od the liberals who bekieve in freedom of expression and won't even consider what would happen if Nazis like him made the rules.

I almost always watch the TDS and Colbert the next morning with my coffee. Though I do have to be careful about that as the coffeve could end up everywhere.

In 1977, the ACLU supported the neo-nazis in Skokie, Illinois. The current ACLU would not do the same because they no longer believe in freedom of speech. Don't pretend that the Democrats and liberals support free speech - because they don't.

Lyin liars and the lies they tell.
So you just proved the ACLU does and has supported the free speech rights of Nazis and many other haters in the world like in 2017 when they defended Nazis alt right organizer Jason Kessler.
Jason Kessler organized the "Unite the Right" rally in response to the city of Charlottesville's decision to rename the former Lee Park and remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from its grounds.
The ACLU's Virginia affiliate defended Kessler, arguing in court that the city was trying to restrict his free speech unlawfully. A judge ruled in Kessler's favor, but the ruling may not be remembered as a victory for Constitutional rights. The rally turned violent, and a white nationalist plowed his car into a group of counterprotesters, leading to the death of a 32-year-old woman.
I definitely the support free speech for Nazis agitators, too. How else will I know who are the Nazis when the time comes to once again to eliminate them from the face of the earth?
Because I know that the only good Nazis is a dead Nazi.

This is going to happen more and more and liberals have only themselves to blame. When you fact check others but ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to accept fact checks on yourself, it's going to ruffle feathers. Hypocrisy does that. Since liberals are weaponizing hypocrisy now, and then coming up with stupid articles like this, it's so easy to see their strategy. A 5th grader could see this tactic for what it is.
