Yeah I think he needs to figure out why she wanted to get rid of him. hahaha

What’s really sad is you’re talking about Yoda but that’s also true for the Ewoks and Jar Jar Binks.

I don’t see why Mexico has to pay for the wall. Why not Lichtenstein or Djibouti?

Yes, that’s the quote – thanks. She may have just wanted him out of the house; she may have wanted to boast to her friends that hubby is a big-time SOS. If the latter, what a backfire.

“I was going to go to the ranch to be with my grandkids.”

However, he said that when he returned to his Texas home after meeting Trump in New York, his wife, Renda St Clair, shook her finger in his face and said: “I told you God’s not through with you.”

Renda shoulda shown up instead, she sounds far more ambitious.

OT but the ranch is in Bartonville in Denton County. Sounds like upscale cow country.

Trying to “one-up” the other Highland Park matrons. Sounds a bit preachy with the “God’s not through…” to have much clout there without a SoS as husband.

That’s north of here. Mostly it’s upscale cow country once you leave the city going in any direction.

:wink:

Really noticeable when you’re flying in to DFW, especially coming in over Fort Worth.

True, even though they keep selling cow country off to developers. Used to be a looooooooooot more. hahaha

They need that land to divide into 1/8 acre lots for the Chateau de New Money McMansions.

Exactly. They are everywhere. Same fucking house.

And I will never understand the floor pattern use in this state - they all have entranceways that are two and three stories tall - perfect for all the AC to disappear and all the heat to rise up and sit by the ceiling and to pay $500 a month in electric bills.

I just don’t get it.

Industrial kitchens with Viking ranges, Sub-Zero refrigerators and granite everywhere for people who cook with a microwave. Gotta have that Kitchen-Aid Pro 700 stand mixer for the cake mixes…

The most stunning display of groveling was Mittens sitting at dinner with the Orange Menace. And he was never being considered for the job, was just there so that PeePee could rub more salt in that wound.

Sad to say but Mittens would have been so much better as SoS than RExxon but, like you said, Matt, he’d committed the unpardonable sin of calling shit shit.

Why is this narrative even important? The wall is a joke and a distraction.[/quote]

The narrative is only important because it is a shining example of how Dear Leader has leveraged his NPD to bring laser-like focus to developing and following through his goals by cutting out the middlemen (ethics, policy, Constitution, intelligence community, Congressional oversight & war powers authority, anti money laundering laws, etc.)

TL; DR: The Trumpire is a distraction to allow DT’s family to “constitutionally” monetize the executive branch.
