SEVERAL picks so far. LOTS of speculation and misinformation along the way
This week the country loudly let the PEOTUS know mittens was not on most favored list. Trump let the media know they were NOT on his most favored list. A snark designer who helped keep MO tacky advised other designers to stay away from Melania professionally. We ate too much probably on Thanksgiving and we possibly weren't appreciative enough of the blessings in this life.
HAPPY TRUMP DAY, YOU DEPLORABLES
Important!!!!
See post 1395!!!!
I NOMINATE Read Write Repeat FOR HEAD OF IRS!!!!!
Today includes paying bills, storing Thanksgiving and fall decorations in garage, grocery shopping and visiting a blind lady who doesn’t get out much, she is a dear.
I worked for 8 years longer than my hubby so he has had to learn to deal with me home all the time, seems to be working as I hide out in back room on my computer a lot, really!
Hope your guy has a hobby, mine likes geneology and doing puzzles when he’s not working in yard or oldest son needs him on a construction job, which nearly kills my man.
GREAT dream!!

SUPREME COURT VACANCY
The Trump transition team confirmed he would choose from a list of 21 names he drew up during his campaign, including Republican U.S. Senator Mike Lee of Utah, and William Pryor, a federal judge with the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
You are cracking me up and that’s a GOOD thing!!
A Nevada recount?
Why bother?
Surely Senator Reid is keeping their voting system honest?
I’ll try them! B12 drops is on my to-do list for today.
I’ve always used the sublingual tablets.
Happy Trump Day back atcha!., sweetiepiezer!
(I’ve always liked your screen name!)
Whatcha have?
Yes, I can almost hear the whiners and complainers now - some will never have worked so much and so hard in their lives. I suspect they will all be provided with a list of expectations for them and their position and results will be expected.
Just terrible about his father.
I’m going to have to do some more reading on Peter and his father.
Good to know you will ease up at times - we’re going to keep an eye on you!
She was a terrible candidate.
Share this with as many whiners as you can.
There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.
There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16.
Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles.
When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don’t and shouldn’t speak for the rest of our country.

Sounds like a good day you have planned.
Did you see this?:
Yes, my hubby has hobbies. We moved to Colorado for retirement and he’s looking forward to having lots of time for camping and exploring the mountains out here. I’ll go with him sometimes and other times he can go and do his own thing.
We have an old cottage on a pretty large lot, so there’s always something to work on and, bless his heart, we’ve barely gotten started on my Improvements List.
(BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! - WINNING!!!)

Ha Ha Ha on Jill!
The Green Party has disowned Dr. Jill Stein
