What some see as a “Demonstration”
Is really only an abnegation.

You knew that 'The Swamp' was at work when Attorney General Sessions abnegated his control over the 'Special Investigation' of Russian influences upon the 2016 US Election! Nothing can provoke greater glee in DC than an unconstrained investigation of a political whiff of an odor of a wisp of a fart by a non-member of the Washington Nomenklatura!

Oh-I can think of several words to describe whatever that is-but I can’t say them here...

The RINOs in the congress
Have their panties in a twist-
They foolishly think we care
At all because they are pissed

So they continue their antics-
Not believing that their pout
And abnegation of their work
Might get them primaried out

Pres Trump called Mitch out
Alabama voted for Moore-
That looks like a good start
For showing the rest the door...

Thank you!

At the very least, McConnell and Ryan should be removed from their positions as majority leader and speaker of the house-and McCain needs to be “invited” to leave by some senate collegues who are at least observant if not sensible-the man has always been a major league ass**** with a chip on his shoulder, but now, either due to brain cancer or Trump derangement syndrome he is not only a loose cannon-he is also as bats*** crazy as Nancy Pelosi...

Meanwhile during this abnegation of the NFL, we have baseball! Baseball players actually make more money than football players. Wonder why? Baseball does not allow felons to return to the game. You’re out!

Football allows wife beaters, dog fighters and all sorts of sick people to play again. Even O.J. Simpson would have been allowed to play after his second felonious assault. The first one did not count.

So as I have said years and years ago in here, Baseball is America’s sport!

Go Diamondbacks!
