(Hey guys, come get me when it’s snack time, look bigly serious.)

That place use to stay open for visitors everyday some years ago rage of ppl

Shouldn't he have taken longer to come back how they know it was only one suspect this just seems really odd like Donald pandering to the camera odd.

Since elections are nearing expect these type of of sponsored dramas. He will use all the hooks and crooks to retain in power. Person’s who is involved in this to be brought to justice and any sort of conspiracy should be examined.

We all love Pompeo,Bannon,Rubio, Cotton ! The CCP is the world ’s largest terrorist organization and rogue regime. It is also a behind-the-scenes supporter of other terrorist org . A global village without the CCP is more peaceful and happy! Let's all take down CCP. Free China!

The questions asked of him by the media was absolutely pathetic....they step all over themselves like fools.....

so they can just shoot ?!!

I thought big tough guy would run, er waddle out there to take down the suspect!

BunkerBitch will be trending in 3...2...

Gettysburg or White House: Trump narrows RNC speech backdrop choices, decision coming 'soon'President Trump says Gettysburg or the White House will serve as the backdrop for his nomination acceptance speech during the Republican National Convention in 2 weeks. Cool... Your supposed to concentrate on Gettysburg, then get outraged, and wait for the next news story. The RNC political event doesn’t belong at either venue. The politicization of the White House or a place as sacred as Gettysburg is totally inappropriate. What’s wrong with realDonaldTrump’s tacky DC Hotel? The White House and Gettysburg are National sites, not Trump property.
