In his festering wound of an imagination, at least.

It is truly amazing how you could get by in life with such limited capacities, let alone be able to screw everyone along the way. That's where his skill is though. Trump can conjure up appearances better than the average snake oil salesman and P. T. Barnum would bow to his confidence tricks.

I love this comment. As a Retired college faculty member after 30 years, I loved the power of the red pen. I could just hold it up and joy in the fear it brought. But, the new time out generation, according to psychology experts, where being traumatized, so state oversight pros, demanded we no longer use red ink. The only banning of red ink has created these mellinial pansies that can never handle ANY criticism. Bring back the red pen. Save humanity. Trump would have a stroke with red pen corrections. So, more please. Whistles and red pens can rid the world of his terror.

That is very interesting. In my latter years, we had to purchase all of our on office supplies, so I kept it simple with packs of pens in one color. Lost my butt with many unused packs of red, after we were told to use soft, calming, non-athoritaian colors. Retired in 2012 and still have many so my "old school" check writing is in red. Screw the Bill people if my checks are too harsh for them.

In short a pastor held by Turkey and released after the Senate got involved. Also, he is a Trump admirer who he apparently worships

Has anyone seen this purported letter from General Mazloum that spells out all the concessions he's prepared to make?

He probably got others to write them and then stiffed on payment.

There are probably a dozen different styles and voices to those papers he had submitted.

outside like children to tell the press. They were falling over each other. Now I love Pelosi. I love that she stood up to the creep but the Dotard is in the WH laughing at us Dems for taking the bait. Stay in message and in the room and confront the bully. He can’t hang with Nancy.
