Welcome to the TRUMP TRAIN THREAD, where all things Trump are welcome!

“I know you are in the Seattle area.”
I am 226.6 miles SE of Seattle, so I don’t really know first hand how it is there.
My grand-daughter went to stay with her friend who lives in Tacoma for when her friend has surgery then my grand-daughter will be there to help her out. Anyway they went to Seattle last night to see the fireworks at the Space Needle to bring in the New Year.
She said there were Palestinian Protestors waving flags and shouting in their faces the whole time. They had a sign that said “Intifada” which means “rebellion, uprising or resistance “
Both places are pretty bad, but from what I hear Portland is the worst.
This is one BIG joke. Isn’t it?
Copper Sounds like the sensitivity is allergic or toxicity reaction. Just guessing
I like limas but only few recipes.
Do not like asparagus
Do love black licorice
My son enjoyed mussel linguine in garlic butter wine
When I ate seafood I was like you. Good on scallops crab shrimp n lobster but not the others in shells
thanx for that
lotta redactions...guessing it’s the same initials.
wonder what’s different from what was released years ago.
I really don’t want to make that dive...
and do any initials match up to names in his black book ?
Trump/Abram 2024!
Dj, you may want to connect that young Abram up with a site that will really stimulate and encourage that political bent he seems to have. I know he’s young, but Prager U seems to do a lot of teaching....there’s also Mike Huckabee’s books for kids which explain a lot. I can’t help but think there’s somewhere for him to really foster that mind of his. Just a thought.
I think there’s going to be a lot of kerfuffle about Clinton and Prince Andrew, because this is old news. These two are already known pervs, and they’ve been exposed for being friends of the pedophile Epstein. They both have not much left to lose, so it’s safe for the media to appear to be reporting these “big names”, diverting our attention from others who may be of greater interest.
Personally, I don’t think we’re going to hear too many “boom” names. They’re giving time for anyone who wants to appeal to have their name redacted to do so, if they have a good reason. I don’t quite know what that means. There will be some shenanigans afoot, to be sure.
thanx...
all y’all knew i couldn’t stay away.
somebody did some work for us awhile back:

“Marcinkova, Nadia” is redacted in the new release but not redacted in the above release.

what is the point of the new release ?
Ok ladies! Let’s hear what you think of Lara Trump’s new dress. Men, no offense, but I’m pretty sure you’ll all like it.

Just saw this, and General Flynn called attention to it as well. This is not the new list.

u r a regular riot ...
We're on the same team.
My Dad would not eat Asparagus because of the smell.
It's not my favorite, but I'll eat it.
I cannot stand the smell of Licorice, especially the black ones.
We're on the same team.
I cannot stand copper anything.
More common than you think. One woman was so allergic to copper that her copper IUD almost killed her.
Lol I’m not, but The Bee sure is!
Thanks for posting this. I just got finished watching it. There were SOME demonstraters who deserve time for what they did, but the majority of them do not. Especially just sitting in prison with no bail etc.
And Ray Epps gets off with a misdemeanor.
Yeah - that Ray Epps was the spearhead. No doubt about it. I hope this opens up, and fast. These good Americans do not deserve to be sitting in the DC gulag.

While whether she was the actual designer of our flag is doubted by some, her patriotism and sacrifice cannot be by anyone.

Betsy Ross is born
On this day in history, January 1, 1752, Betsy Ross is born in Philadelphia. Betsy Ross was born Betsy Griscom, the 8th of 17 children born to Samuel Griscom, a prominent Philadelphia carpenter. The Griscom family were Quakers and Betsy’s great-grandfather was a personal friend of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania’s “Holy Experiment.”
As a teenager, Betsy’s father had her apprenticed to an upholsterer and this is where she met her first husband, John Ross. John was the son of an assistant rector at the Episcopalian Christ Church. The two eloped and Betsy was ex-communicated from the Quaker church for marrying outside the faith. She and John then attended Christ Church and started their own business making such things as furniture coverings, clothing, curtains, bedspreads, etc.
Once the war started, John joined the Philadelphia militia and in mid-January 1776, he was severely injured in an accidental explosion while guarding ammunition. Betsy nursed John, but he died from his wounds. The following year, Betsy married again, this time to Captain Joseph Ashburn. Their home was occupied by British soldiers that winter during the British invasion of Philadelphia and Betsy was called the “Little Rebel” by the occupying soldiers for her patriotic views. Joseph was captured on a mission to the West Indies in 1780 and died in the Old Mill Prison at Plymouth, England in March, 1782, Betsy’s second husband to be lost to the war. An old suitor of Betsy’s named John Claypoole happened to be at the Old Mill when Joseph died. John brought back word to Betsy that her second husband had died and the two started up a new romance. They married in 1783 and were married for 34 years.
According to legend, George Washington came to Betsy’s upholstery shop in May of 1776 with Robert Morris and George Ross, two other members of Congress. Ross was Betsy’s first husband’s uncle. It is believed General Washington and Betsy were personal friends since their pews were right next to one another at Christ Church. Betsy’s first husband, who had just passed away, had two uncles that signed the Declaration of Independence, George Ross and George Read. These personal connections may have had something to do with her being asked to make the flag.
Washington allegedly pulled out a drawing with thirteen stars and stripes and 13 stars in a circle from his pocket and asked Betsy if she could make a flag using this design. Betsy said she believed she could, but suggested one alteration to the design. Washington had used six-pointed stars in his design. Betsy showed them how she could make a five-pointed star by folding a piece of cloth and by using only one snip of the scissors. Washington and the others were impressed and gave her the task.
Some historians have doubted the authenticity of the flag story since it was not told until the 1860s by Betsy’s grandson, William Canby. There are other contenders for the prize of being the person who made the first American flag, such as Declaration of Independence signer Francis Hopkinson.
Betsy would make flags for the United States government for the next 50 years. Her sacrifice was great, having lost two husbands to the war. Her third husband was also injured at the Battle of Germantown and spent time in a British prison. You can visit the Betsy Ross house today in Philadelphia. This is the very house where Betsy had her shop when she was visited by Washington and asked to make the flag.
