    "President Trump’s potent combination of greed and gullibility is one of the main reasons that his presidency is such a dangerous plight for America. Trump is the naked emperor, allowing his ego and addiction to flattery, pomp, and tribute to dictate his responses to serious global problems at a time when our nation needs a leader who can put aside self-interest and work for the best interests of the country as a whole."

  5. I can think of no time in our history it would have been safe to have a man so greedy and a man so stupid as pResident. Hell, we've never had one half as greed, nor half as stupid. And considering how fresh W is in our minds, that's saying a lot.

    The enraged trump who demanded a full investigation.

    After weeks of testing and $1.73 Million in congressional spending, a special Presidential Commission presented the following findings:

    The stamp is in perfect order.
    There is nothing wrong with the adhesive.
    People are spitting on the wrong side.

    1. The tenor of that joke is on a par with one I recall about FDR; wondering if it might have been a recycled FDR joke I googled it, and here’s what Snopes has to say about it. [Click] Note: my good wife nearly choked laughing when I told her the joke.

  7. Back safely from Berkeley; fairly good weather, few trucks on the road, automobile traffic not too bad although moderately heavy in places. We got three good presents (one for ourselves) at a pottery sale.
