You know the rules. Stay off this thread.
That’s a great idea.
Yup - it was Mary Ann Marsh. Checked out the picture and that’s her. I’ll bet she could have bitten her tongue after she said it.
>>>Well spoken “Betsy” and hopefully this RAT hasn’t made you drop a stitch this beautiful morning.>>>
No need, all set. My question has already been answered. Thanks though!
Can you let us know what he says?
That was fun!
I liked the record label (RCA Victor)
Tommy Dorsey and his Clambake Seven
Vocal Refrain by Edythe Wright
Mr. Trump seems to have a strong aversion to wasting money. I hope he doesn’t keel over from shock when he moves into the White House and sees what’s really been going on, for years!
Can’t wait to see him Trumpify the books! He should give a monthly report directly to the people on what waste he has uncovered, corruption, name names, etc. Then give everyone an account of how he will change it.
Missouri, please hoosiermama!
;-)
Yes, do tell....when you can :)
I wonder if DJT knows about the trillions of dollars in Black Budget expenditures. If not, he might want to check with Catherine Austin Fitts, Asst. Secretary of Housing/Federal Housing Commissioner at HUD in the first Bush Admin.
The elites spent millions in an effort to smear her because she uncovered lots of unsavory stuff:

Here’s what I posted, over on the Sunday talk thread, recapping what Newt said (on Maria’s show)....
Newt saying if Trump wins NY by 60%, it’s pretty much over...Trump will be the presumptive nominee.
Regarding CA....big....could have effect, as cRuz has worked the key Congressional districts. But...that national waves can drown local media. If cRuz is seen as part of the (insider/establishment) problem, that drowns out any local efforts.
Also, if cRuz loses NY, CT, NJ, PA...etc....then he only continues to fade with his ‘we’re winning’ talk.
~~~~~
FYI...I almost fell out of my chair, when a WSJ board member - who was a panelist on, after Newt, said....”Look, the RNC is a private party....there is no law that says they HAVE to vote”.
They were discussing the (stolen) delegate situation...and how the rules are the rules. When she said votes aren’t needed, I was shocked....they’re not even hiding their inclusiveness, any longer :(
#5........ The man himself......George Gordon Battle Liddy!
He’s 100% for Trump
In trivia #1= C
Yes, the guy didn’t like Trump. He went on to say Trump wouldn’t get the numbers he needed and Cruz would get the nomination at the convention. Made me sick to my stomach. Judge Jeanine smiled and laughed. I believe she thought he was delusional.
#2. Scrabble
Have friend in Wimberly, TX. Says everyone has holding tanks where by they collect the rain water.
Does anyone know why Trump is holding a press conference?
I’m 5’5”. ;-)
