Maybe people should read her letter. It isn't as hostile as people think between Melania Trump and the Librarian. It is taken so out of context. PS: You mean counselling the Librarian on its policies that she shouldn't have return those books. They can't stop her from sending that letter since they stated it is her personal opinion.

Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

We can be certain that they're feverishly trying to come up with a way to justify the loser's action/inaction as usual. Sooner or later something will appear.	Posted by Deleted on Sep 30, 2017, 10:08:46 PM

But then I ask myself: how do we adequately express shock, surprise and outrage when the man has cunningly made shock, surprise and outrage a daily, predictable reaction? What has happened is precisely what we knew would happen and STILL could do nothing about it. The normalisation of the abnormal. He has said things this past week that no president in history would ever have said, and yet we're like, oh, it's Trump being Trump. No bigs. That is NOT OKAY. Oh? I agree with people that say Trump might win reelection. It is more plausible now when the Democratic Party isn't united. A Democratic Party that isn't united will defeated. Sound scary right?

The mayor of San Juan is trying to score political brownie points while refusing to cooperate: Spoiler She's also driving around with a literal truck load of journalists for the PR (not Puerto Rico hehe) photo ops: Spoiler Meanwhile it turns out the number one problem on the island is distribution of help, not lack of help. HuffPaint asked three times what more can Washington do and they got no real answer. WaPo is fake news as usual. http://archive.is/9Mtle GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.

I won't bother, because to you and your head dork in charge, it would be fake news no matter how REAL it is.	Posted by Deleted on Sep 30, 2017, 11:51:02 PM
