Orange Free State

Wed Jan 24, 2018, 09:19 PM Jan 2018

Pray for me.

I am trying to be strong.

I will be in DisneyWorld next week, and am trying to resist the temptation to rush and tackle Robotrump in the Hall of Presidents. If you hear of that happening, it was likely me.

May need to do a GoFundMe for bail and legal defense.

Keep saying it as you enter the Hall.

To be on the safe side I will say a Hail Mary for you.
It is an all purpose prayer, I don't remember the nuns
teaching us a specific prayer so we would not tackle wax presidents.

It's not really bread; it's a bun dusted with toasted coconut and custard in the middle. Very tasty!

Then again when we went to the magic kingdom it was freezing! I think the line in the Starbucks that they have on main street was about a 3 hour wait, no fast pass.

Stay at animal kingdom. That was fun. Pandora was awesome! Mt Everest was a pleasant surprise.

and embarrassed the friends I was with when RoboNixon stood up and I loudly asked "Where's the blood on his hands?"

I was at DisneyWorld three years ago (with the same friends) and we skipped the presidents because they were afraid of what I'd do when RoboGeorgeW started talking.

Every time I enter my local VA, I open the door and before I can physically turn right, in front of my is a huge ass Trump Wild West photo. Horrific, cause this is where I have to get my care for a few years. I SO want to use a marker on it, I know they must have cameras.

So, I just walk in looking down. I can't look at it.

sour puss, tiny eyed Wild West photo. That stupid look, that he likes and forces his wife to do.
I only saw it once, my stomach went OMG. This is too direct a line to my life now. Trump voters can trust him with their life, I am not on that team.

I'm just staying away unless they call me for something. I'm trusting Malcom Nancy who said this will break in Feb/Mar timeframe. I'll wait.

I think it is more of a bad posture, squinting portrait. It's ugly. And I'm about the only one on DU who will say he's not obese (he's not obese, he's just overweight with not so well distributed flab) and that Melania is pretty. But that official portrait is just nasty.

being so depressed after the election and working hard to rationalize things. Then after the inauguration it was X 2. X 3 was walking into the VA and being hit in the face with that unusual picture of that guy. That was a very hard day indeed.

I remember leaving a comment card a few years earlier about President Obama’s picture being a slight bit below Shinseki’s and they adjusted it.

And friends I know who have seen the Hall of Presidents say it doesn't sound like him - no broad Queens accent, and the mannequin's scripted blurb sounds quite a bit smarter than anything he's said on campaign or in office.
