I reckon they might be ordering a big supply of Koolaid. All kidding aside, I wouldn't rule out a similar predicament for Mr. Trump. But considering his personality type, he would maybe prefer to secretly build himself a kit aircraft on the roof of the White House -- hopefully planning to be able to survive at the end of the flight. I see him as more of a hot-air balloon type. Self-propelled. "Come, Kellyanne!" cried the Orange Wizard. "Hurry up, or the balloon will fly away." "I can't find Mitch anywhere," replied Kellyanne, who did not wish to leave her little puppet behind. Mitch had run into the crowd to bark at a democrat, and Kellyanne at last found him. She picked him up and ran towards the balloon. She was within a few steps of it, and the Orange Wizard was holding out his hands to help her into the basket, when, crack! went the ropes, and the balloon rose into the air without her. "Come back!" she screamed. "I want to go, too!" "I can't come back, my dear," called the Orange Wizard from the basket. "Good-bye!" Source: Thanks and apologies to L. Frank Baum; political slant mine; the rest, his.

You aren't too bad.
On the other hand, -don't quit your day job quite yet! Sorry, -just couldn't pass that up.
Really, that was pretty good!

I went back and added a source - only a few words of it were written by me

This all ties in with Speaker Ryan's retirement. Whoever wrote this soap opera needs every trophy there is for soap opera writing. The trouble with soap opera's is there's just a whole lot of bubbles and froth coming out of the singers mouth.

I heard he'd hunting for excuses to drop Pence. He wants Haley from UN. That's Trump, always wanting pretty women around him so he can feel in charge. I wonder if Trump's actually thinks he can fire the VP?

So far he hasn't demonstrated much knowledge or even respect for the constitution. He doesn't have any history of cooperating with anyone, including his own sycophants. Pence so far has spent his term genuflecting to him -- he should appreciate that.

Guess you noticed that Trump's Whitaker A.G. appt is going to the Supreme Court. And it's not so much about what Whitaker has said about the Investigation but it's about a lawsuit that had been named against Sessions, or that as Sessions was AG when it was filed. The suer is saying Whitaker's appt is wrong that Rosenstein was constitutionally the next in line. Now the suer doesn't know who he's suing. I think that the Supreme Court will say Rosenstein as being the Asst AG will be the one constitutionally and thus is the one whom the lawsuit should be addressed to.

"Put Duz in you washing machine, -D.U.Z does everything!"
There were a lot more but I can't remember them.

There were a lot more but I can't remember them.We never had a TV when I was growing up. When a cousin got married he bought a house three houses down the street. He moved his girlfriend into that house and for about a year before they got married, her parents moved in with her and had 8 children. Well the yard was the meeting place of the whole neighborhood. Our street was children in every home but two. I got acquainted with my cousin s girlfriend and we became very close. After they married and her family moved away I'd go down and she and I watched our soaps and drank cokes. The ads were about detergents and dish soap. Lemon Joy and Tide and Dial bath soap. I really got a good education watching the soaps. I learned the best soaps for whatever the job was. 😀

The most interesting part of the whole case is that Whitaker himself is involved in a charge of criminally defrauding customers in a business he was part of. That doesn't appear to be an appropriate appointment to any attorney general position, no matter what the rest of his qualifications are. There are so many criminals involved with this administration it's unbelievable.

There was someone who'd been depositioned by Mueller and he has said that Mueller has paper evidence of the Trump-Russia conversations about their coordination to help Trump win and Trump's promises for leniency for Russia after election.

My legal guardian would come home about 5:30pm every evening. I usually met her at the bus stop on my bike and slowly ride my bike back home. She often be asked me, "Do you live here, or ride a bicycle?" If we'd been closer to Olympic people/places I'd gone into endurance biking. I could outride kids who had tenspeed bikes and my bike was just an everyday everyway bike.
