Trump thread # 100 “Cannot you see that I, too, have a tall and beautiful person?”

[TheClaws]

Roman Emperor Nero wrote the above in a manual titled ‘Care of the Hair’. Nero was tyrannical, vain and cruel, and thought little of the lives of others. He also liked to erect buildings and carve his name into them. if only we could learn well from the past.

More Malbec, more Merlot, more Rosé and Pinot,
More Champagne, more Reisling, more Asti and Bordeaux,
And you'll hear me exclaim as I sink out of sight....
HAPPY CHRISTMAS YOU VIPERS, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!!

Indeed, Claws.

As Mr Wittes recently tweeted

'One ..................at a time'.

You have this thing about wine, Christmas. We need to get you onto the real thing.

Merry Christmas all. Or should we say happy holidays just to piss off Scrotus?

Probablyly.

Sorry. Probably.

Happy Xmas to all of you amazing, insightful, tenacious women on here. I hope and pray for a better year in 2018, but really really appreciate this place to both learn and offload about the horror that has been unfolding in front of our eyes the last year. I raise a glass to all of you and courage to what we may face in 2018💜🍷💐

Merry Xmas to all you resisters out there. Keep on keeping on ✊🏻🎄

How did it get so late so soon?
It’s night before it’s afternoon.
December is here before it’s June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?
--- Dr. Seuss.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and all that stuff.

'How did it get so late so soon? '

It didn't. Have faith and persist,.

Let me tell you about my personal lodestone. There were people - men and women - who were in ........some degree of dffficulty in - say - 1943 or 1944. They had no certainty in victory - and the certainty of a bad death - but they kept faith,

I do cozie.

(I think it is quite an uplifting poem but it maybe because my default is a tad dark).

It's ok cozie. I'll be back on the and Ribena soon enough.

At any rate, as soon as I re-morph back into Across!

I’ve checked and this appears to be true.

BREAKING: We just got a preliminary injunction to stop @HUDgov from suspending a rule aimed at assisting low-income families in securing affordable housing in higher-opportunity areas. Read the court's opinion here: www.naacpldf.org/files/case_issue/HUD%20Preliminary%20Injunction%20Opinion.pdf

This is a huge win for all of us who worked on the case, but much more so for the thousands of families in 23 cities around the country who have been counting on this Rule to get better access to housing, jobs, and education. This is for them.

Longtime observers who study and analyze Alabama politics say Doug Jones’s election could prove to be a foretelling of things to come, of deep-red Alabama turning purple, becoming less reliably Republican and veering away from hardline social conservatism.

Dems are claiming victory after the Senate sent the nomination of Kathleen Hartnett-White, Trump's pick to lead the Council on Environmental Quality, back to Trump.

She had a bruising hearing at which she struggled to answer basic science questions.

Happy Christmas/Holidays! Hope you all have amazing days, you've earned it!

Good news on many fronts Pain.

2018 will be extraordinary.

Happy Christmas, one and all!

Happy holidays all! I would have said Christmas, but Trump’s ruined it by giving Christmas white supremacist overtones for ordinary folks who like their Muslim, Jewish & Hindu friends and neighbours.
