I suspect one of your fellow PING LIST Holders will soon arrive to do the honors.
Thank you so much for the thread! I’m delighted to be here today! I’ve missed you all!
I’ve been reading about Governor of Maine, Paul Lepage. What an excellent choice he’d make for VP.
One of 18 kids. Parents were Canadian. From Wikipedia:
LePage was born in Lewiston, Maine. The eldest son of eighteen children of Theresa (née Gagnon) and Gerard LePage, both of French Canadian descent,[citation needed] he grew up speaking French in an impoverished home with an abusive father who was a mill worker.[2] His father drank heavily and terrorized the children, and his mother was too intimidated to stop him.[3] At age eleven, after his father beat him and broke his nose, he ran away from home and lived on the streets of Lewiston, where he at times stayed in horse stables and at a “strip joint”.[2][4] After spending roughly two years homeless, he began to earn a living shining shoes, washing dishes at a café, and hauling boxes for a truck driver. He later worked at a rubber company and a meat-packing plant and was a short order cook and bartender.[5]
LePage applied to Husson College in Bangor, but he was rejected due to a poor verbal score on the SAT because English was his second language. He has said that State Representative Peter Snowethe first husband of former U.S. senator Olympia Snowepersuaded Husson to give LePage a written exam in French, which allowed LePage to show his reading comprehension skills and gain admission.[5][6] At Husson, LePage improved his English-language skills and became editor of the college newspaper.[5] He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in business administration in finance and accounting and later earned a Master of Business Administration from the University of Maine.[5]
Would you have the time to ping the Trump rally thread? Thank you!
By the way, where have you been keeping yourself lately?
