Is that a picture of their reaction when they heard the news?

No. They were already aboard AF-One when the news broke.

So the guy can’t convince a bunch of lefty euros that the place he organized is worthy of the corrupt olympics meanwhile a stupid, bible thumping, gun toting, mother of five ex-governor is breaking all sorts of records in the US.

EPIC FAIL!!

I think it is a dressy jacket that goes with the dress.

Maybe. It could be a sheer cotton cardigan. I have one made from fine, carded cotton that is sheer. In any case, it is not the appropriate cover for that dress, not to mention that the dress is not appropriate for daytime. Does she not own a single suit?

no, it would have been a financial bonanza for graft and corruption and pork projects.

For evern 1 dollar spent, 60 cents would never have reached the shovels.

Saying/believing USA is not a Christian nation was, also, an underhanded finger gesture to USA as was his ‘bow’ to a Saudi prince. Let them have a pig roast tonight - their last supper - and then vacate our house!

That’s something I keep praying for! With a clause to payback taxpayers for their reckless spending for luxury trips or jail time. And show the details - who was aboard the plane that circled Ground Zero and all pictures taken.
