I saw that! Maybe they should have thrown off the man laying across their seats? Very bad PR. A couple on their on their way to their wedding? Tons of empty seats. I suspect they are into exerting their “power” over the little folks who pay their salaries.

Hapless or rather malevolent CNN manages to use the least flattering pic of the always gorgeous melania to feature in this story.

Ashely Judd may be a decent actress
But her screed at the march was classless
She’s so nasty
And a liberal patsy
That her career has turned toward hapless

In WWII, we bombed the heck out of Germany and Japan, in large part due to General Hap Arnold. That was a long time ago, but North Korea may find out that the USA today is not Hapless.

Pearl Harbor, our Intel was hapless
We needed eyes open, to nap less
When FDR died
It was time for our side
After Truman dropped A-Bombs, we were Japless!

I had hoped, finally, that America could go without Hillary’s Annoying Personality (i.e., HAP-less), starting this year, but we find ourselves once again hapless victims of her refusal to stay politically dead.

Will that woman ever disappear, or are we destined to come home to a pet bunny in the pot on the stove, to the drowned psycho with a knife popping up from the tub, to Freddy Kruger returning just one more time, and to pantsuit lectures from the podium forever?
