      The fact that everything is so out in the open and the ‘president’ isn’t being removed is proof that American democracy is officially dead.

      Encouraging youth fitness is hardly something to be upset about, and using a power he has to … encourage youth fitness … is certainly not something to remove the president from office over.

    I would love if the president had to be able to run a mile and do pull-ups. Might keep these braindead racists off the throne.

      I had bone spurs in my shoulder once. Then I had an operation and no longer had bone spurs. Then my shoulder worked normally, and I could do normal things.
