Ahahaha, the Apple News shit is so good.

Remember when libs were throwing a nonstop fit about Trump watching Fox News when he had the entire state intelligence apparatus at his fingertips?

Sheesh controlling the president's primary source of information is just so much more bang for the buck than standard lobbying

This is, honestly, worse than fox news. Fox news is produced with specific, coherent, and predictable propaganda goals. Apple news is an algorithm trying to maximize engagement. I prefer the enemy I know and understand.

Sometimes, people with Alzheimer’s disease lash out for no clear reason. They may get upset or angry easily. They may curse, hurl insults, or scream. They might even throw things or resist caregivers by pushing and hitting. This kind of aggression usually starts when people get to the later stages of the disease.

So you mean to tell me he could be prosecuted for leaking those documents?

Any time he does something you don't like, it's just cus he's a cranky old man, and you should be fine with that and also never talk about it ever.
