Uhh Congressman Neil Dunn apparently was supposed to be "dead by June" according to Trump. According to Mike Johnson Dun had gotten a "pretty grim diagnosis." Johnson called it a "terminal diagnosis." WTAH?

We're all waiting for this gaffe from the morbidly obese draft-dodging silver-spooned golf cheating pedophilic president:

"Dotard Blurts Out Neil Dunn Ghislaine Maxwell Will Be Dead By June by 21 Jan 2029."

Neil Dunn needs to be careful.

Trump put a hit out on him.

He's got three months to live.

The glee that s*&^bag has in revealing such information is pathetic.

Even more pathetic is that there are still people supporting him.

Technically a HIPAA violation, should Congressman Dunn care to execrise his rights under the law.

LOL like he's ever cross Trump, and like Trump's DOJ would ever pursue the case.

But it's a HIPAA violation nonetheless.

Reminds me of when Trump committed the largest act of insider trading in American history. When he tweeted hours before lifting the Liberation Day Tariffs that now is a good time to buy. Tipping like that, is a felony.

While it is an ------- move, I don't believe it is a HIPPA violation as Trump is not a health care provider or related business.

Pointing out that he said the 2nd ammendment is worth innocent people dying, and that we should have public executions, is not the same as celebrating.

Because as a trump cult member, you lack the credibility to call out despicable behavior.
By joining the cult (and yes it's a cult by any definition of the word) you are declaring to the world that despicable behavior is fine to you.

Remember when HRC made $100,000 on cattle futures, and Republican heads exploded? Now, $Melania gets a $28 million bribe, and no Republican makes a peep.

Remember when screechers kept yelling LAWFARE under Biden, but could never identify any? Now, Lawfare abounds (Comey, James, the truth-telling six), and we get radio silence from the right.

Remember when the scandal of the century (Twitter Files and CENSORSHIP!) turned out to be editorial boards doing what editorial boards do? Now Trump openly threatens media outlets with clear First Amendment infringements...and The Party of Responsibility takes no responsibility.

And Remember when the slurpers were aghast at the idea a President's offspring might monetize the Office? Now, Trump's entire family grifts in public...and no GOPushback.

The fastest growing cemetery in history is the one where Republican talking points go to die.
