The Stinker so reveres those Ivy League colleges, he will be impressed.
Sadly, he will never understand this is a better, more courageous, principled and wiser man than he could ever be.

'Colin Kaepernick among 8 honored at Harvard for contributions to black history'
"Love is at the root of our resistance," Kaepernick told students on Thursday. "People live with social injustice every single day, and we expect them to thrive in situations where they're just trying to survive. Past honorees include Muhammad Ali, Maya Angelou and Sonia Sotomayor.

I just threw up in my mouth < vomit

Pervy Republican nominee for Michigan Governor Bill Schuette caught on camera sexually harassing an employee & bastardizing culture.

Another GOP predator with zero self-awareness or judgement seeking high office.

Support his opponent @gretchenwhitmer!

I watched the clip with Melania saying why she wore the jacket. I've never heard such a load of old tosh in my life, is that the best they can come up with?
Previously in Egypt she says 'I wish people would comment on what I do, not what I wear'. Then she wears a coat saying she doesn't care when on the way to see seperated children and expects no one to say anything. Why wear it then...

From the interview...
FLOTUS: “I wore the jacket to send a deliberate message to left wing media. And when I see them talk about it I put it on again.”

FLOTUS 3 SECONDS LATER: “I wish the media would focus on what I do & my initiatives than what I wear”

The same cloth Northwest. That clip is horrid.

No deal IN CAPS, so it must be true!

@realDonaldTrump
There was NO DEAL made with Turkey for the release and return of Pastor Andrew Brunson. I don’t make deals for hostages. There was, however, great appreciation on behalf of the United States, which will lead to good, perhaps great, relations between the United States & Turkey!

But, golly, this guy seems sure. Wonder why?
