    committed suicide nearly six years ago

    No the fuck he did not

    “When you’re working 12 to 15 hours a day to solve real problems and you turn on the TV and see people talking about Jeffrey Epstein, that’s frustrating. That’s where the president’s mindset is,” the senior White House official said.

    Lmfao there is absolutely no fucking way orangeboi works for more than 1.2 to 1.5 hours a day.

      You guys remember when some people were pushing the whole “but it’s just a meme” thing?

      I do. I remember thinking “his own bodyguard said he had to have help to do that. No fucking way was it suicide.”

      Also, define “work”. I submit that this guy has never done any real work in his life.

      Him doing chopper-talk or talking to his gaggle of tiktok/youtube influencers called a “press pool” in front of the fireplace doesn’t really constitute “work”. That’s just him soaking up the spotlight, which a narcissist like him feeds off of.

          LOL, good point. I stand corrected. I guess he did indeed do some real work the one time…and now that you mention it, he did that photo-op with the garbage truck, too, where he nearly missed the door.

        Getting off your ass and to the bathroom so you don’t shit your diaper from all the medication you take is one of the most difficult and demanding things you could do in your day… How can you expect anyone to get anything done afterwards?

        Really, just Marco Rubio. He’s the only kinda competent person around; he’s not that smart, but if he walks into a room in the White House, chances are good he’s the smartest one there. That’s why they keep giving him new jobs to do.

        Except you can’t manage people like that. Dude is going to burn out, and then what?

          Lol what? Is this Marco Rubio’s publicist? Anyone who still believes Rubio is competent at this point hasn’t been paying attention at all.

          Let’s dispel with this fiction that Marco Rubio knows what he’s doing. He doesn’t know shit about what he’s doing.

            Try reading again. I didn’t say he was smart. I said he was the smartest in the room. Which he is. It’s not that hard to be the smartest when you’re surrounded by idiots.
