It is nearly 10. The president does not appear to have made it down to the West Wing yet.










Marine sentries stand guard outside the West Wing of the White House whenever the President is working in that area, working in 30-minute shifts.
Here's a more detailed explanation:

Marine Sentries:
Four Marine noncommissioned officers (NCOs) are assigned to the White House as sentries.

West Wing Presence:
These sentries take their posts outside the West Wing whenever the President is inside, whether in the Oval Office or another part of the West Wing.
30-Minute Shifts:
They work in 30-minute shifts, rotating on and off duty.
Signaling:
They rely on a buzzer operated by a Secret Service agent to know when someone is exiting or if the President is leaving the building.

this trip to MAL is for another medical treatment, treatments that don't seem to be working as well as they should.

There are only so many ways you can prop up a dictator and even meds have their expiration date.

for stents and that his reason for medical treatment since then is because his health is failing rapidly. Because Vance is more a party of Thiel than Putin, F47 needs to be propped up with medicine until the complete take over of our democracy to repay his debts to Putin.

reason WHY you never see tertiary syphilis in the developed world. Antibiotics. You are essentially asserting that he has gone decades without taking any.

I’m not saying he’s a healthy man. I’m saying syphilis is not plausible. This is a wealthy man-baby who probably speed-dials antibiotics for every last sniffle or boo-boo he gets.

Complaining about how many hours he puts in (or doesn't) is completely legitimate. But when he starts work is completely irrelevant.

- speaking as a night owl who has always outworked every early-bird Co-worker, but is still tagged as lazy solely because my work day started around noon. It ended between midnight and 2 am, and included weekends.

Just a suggestion, Dear Lord, in case you have forgotten our prayers and repentence. Feed him cheeseberders, O Lord, and harden his arteries like he has hardened his heart. Mercy, O Lord, and make those brake lines fail. Anything you are inclined to do, while delivering us from evil. Amen.
