Who gave him back his phone?

Jeff Sessions is an honest man. He did not say anything wrong. He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not....

...intentional. This whole narrative is a way of saving face for Democrats losing an election that everyone thought they were supposed.....

...to win. The Democrats are overplaying their hand. They lost the election, and now they have lost their grip on reality. The real story...

...is all of the illegal leaks of classified and other information. It is a total "witch hunt!"

3 minutes

That's all I could last listening to twitler blather on. Thank you to those who are able to continue listening and tell us what he says, if anything beyond lies, more lies, and egotistical narcissistic blathering.

Real or Satire?


I know Mark Cuban well. He backed me big-time but I wasn't interested in taking all of his calls.He's not smart enough to run for president!

Sheri Tepper died last Oct, I missed this

She was an author, feminist, exec director of Rocky Mt PP.

What with the election, I missed her death.

The Gate to Women's Country is well known, but I really liked Grass. Family Tree deals also with ecology and the natural world, is lighter read with many puns though it deals with serious issues too.

From 1962 to 1986, she worked for Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood, eventually as its executive director.

How have the media abused Ivanka?

https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/830552079240409089

I am so proud of my daughter Ivanka. To be abused and treated so badly by the media, and to still hold her head so high, is truly wonderful!

Here's the Appeals Court ruling (pdf). Amazing and scathing!

I don't know if it's been posted or available in another format, but here's a link to a PDF one. It's very good, scathing in parts and they say no, you can't be a dictator, no, your counsel can't amend EOs and we don't believe you anyway.
