He’s hanging up all these gold decorations to decorate the White House. I don’t think he plans on leaving.

Trump is a liar and a convicted cheat. The plane is simply a BRIBE by a foregin government seeking control over the president of the USA. Bindi should be grounding the plane, but so many Americans are waiting for the fireworks show.

Trump hasn’t changed. He’s an empty suit that people fill with their own stuff. He is just the act. His whole existence is part of the show.

Those flowers on the Sykes Estate are lovely. So are the pooches grand. The conversation is fascinating and probing as usual. Although Chris, being Sicilian and Irish according to Wiki, is rather intense. Whew!

I had a friend who had 100% Sicilian heritage and her grandmother had been a mob leader in our large city. That lady was a pistol-packing mama. Apparently Sicilians are not misogynist. Equal opportunity to the tough.

No offense, Chris...😉

This was from today’s MeidasNetwork by one of the brothers Ben, who is an attorney:

We don’t fall for the distractions here at the MeidasTouch Network or the obvious traps that try to pit pro-democracy voices against each other. That’s one of the keys to our success and growth.

I see too many good people who are too focused right now on pointing fingers about the 2024 election and about messaging and branding—looking back and pointing fingers—that they are forgetting, fundamentally, that politics is about people.

We shouldn’t think about cooking up “political brands” in a lab to try and connect with people.

We need to keep it simple.

We need to be humble and just shut up sometimes and listen to people.

Listening is far more important than hearing ourselves talk.

We need to understand what people are going through and connect with them as people and human beings—not as robots.

We need to connect with empathy and genuine concern for the human experience, to fight for people and make their lives better, and talk about specific ways we can help people live better “

TV saved Trump’s arse, so it figures BIGLY in his assessment of qualification.

It is so bad for the country…people so unstable and fearful that their small business would be destroyed! He just shoots from the hip and everything else be damned.

As a Democrat, I 100% agree that we need to be talking about what happened and considering repeating mistakes in the future.

Correction: "wealthy" white South Africans. Those Afrikaners have some bucks.
