If you believe that Joe Briben' got the most votes ever in the entire history of the US election for president, I have three bridges to sell you.

NY demoncrap vermin pulls fire alarm in the House in protest of the CR (which sniveling Joe Briben' told the demoncraps to do to save face), and MAGA are the extremists?

Robert Kennedy announces his run as an independent. This will effectively bleed off 20% of Joe Briben's vote, making it extremely difficult for the demoncraps to steal another election from President Donald J Trump.

Joe Briben's dog bites another person, bringing the total to 11. Did the dog get a hit of that cocaine hunter dropped in the White House?

President Trump going to Detroit to show solidarity with the striking UAW workers, meanwhile Joe Briben' follows his lead like a sniveling dog. No wonder President Trump is 10 points ahead.

Being away from his mother for three weeks caused his “sociopathy” (an outdated term)? Give me a break. Making it that simplistic gives this episodes a pop psychology feel that takes away from any credibility the podcast is trying to lend to criminal profiling. At least be thorough in your analysis.

Why all the noise about "keeping Trump off the ballot in 2024" and the "14th amendment" and so on? Because he's going to win again, that's why.

Also I'm always confused as to why people question when the supposed obvious killer. Please not guilty. For my limited knowledge of the law and courtrooms which I have some experience within, people. People plead not guilty so they don't get sentenced right away. , or they're playing cat miles and they want to see if there is a way to pull up. Reasonable doubt, or they're waiting to see if maybe the prosecutor will put a deal on the table to save taxpayers dollars and family. From how many goes to the horrible trial
