On Thursday, Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow doubled down on his view that Trump should not be allowed to address lawmakers in the historic Westminster Hall during an official visit to the United Kingdom. Trump has still not earned the right and does not deserve the honor, Bercow reportedly said at a Queen Mary University London event.
“An invitation to address both Houses of Parliament is not a bauble to be handed out by the prime minister of the day,” said Bercow, per the Press Association news agency. “It is not a government prerogative; that is a matter for the speakers of the two Houses.”
In February, Bercow vowed to block Trump from speaking before Parliament, an honor which was afforded to former President Barack Obama in 2011. An address by a foreign leader to Parliament was “not an automatic right&rd... less

So, here goes!I hope that instead of throwing her completely inexperienced hat into the ring, Oprah will use her massive wealth and influence to propel a qualified candidate to the forefront in 2020. I think Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams would be an excellent choice, or maybe Senator Cory Booker. I believe that most democrats understand that being a wealthy celebrity isn't a relevant qualification for president. less

Would it be a piece of cake, a walk in the park, a snap? Then extrapolate that WORLDWIDE and carry it to our battlefields and hospitals and research labs and schools and farms and corporations. Only what whites have invented/contributed will be available for one day worldwide. Would the world survive that day? I dunno. I'm pretty sure it would all fall down and go BOOM! Just a thought while opining meandering/ pondering/wondering. Just a thought! SIGH. less

Now he may not have coined it/created it/invented it but he made it normal and okay to use. So I guess we should thank him for increasing our vocabulary though the word doesn't exist in my dictionary. I'm sure it existeth in some dictionary somewhere and because the prez put his imprimatur on it certainly a dictionary maker will include it futurely and hopefully give appropriate props. Give credit where credit is due. Right? Don't cheat donjohn out of credit he actually earned/deserves for a change. less

Giving up conscience/honor/integrity for the short-term has long-term consequences. The love of money is the root of all evil it is said. Stupidity and cupidity are are always part of it as well. It is human nature apparently. Is there anyone alive reject money if there were enough of it?

A man who stiffed creditors and cheated on his wives and declared bankruptcy multiple times and used the "bone spur" defense to keep out of the military and bragged about his sexually deviate behavior as if it were his right. Yep. That's what they knew he was and that is exactly what he has delivered. Nothing disappointing about a man who is rigidly programmed to be what he is and nothing more with no ability to learn or grow..no curiosity..no decency..no moral values. An empty suit (oversized). Different strokes. less

As of January 2018 per Paddy Power it's nearly TWICE as likely that Trump will be impeached as it is that he will serve out 4 years. If you were a betting man/woman would you take that bet? Or not? Why?

A world where you DARE NOT verbalize any WHAT IF because it is offensive to someone. A world were one plus one always equals two and dare not equal anything else ever. That world would absolutely appeal to the grey people who don't want to make any waves, upset any applecarts, antagonize anyone at any time for any reason. A world where silence reigns and boredom is the soup du jour. Such a world is possible. Censor/censure everything that doesn't fit the template. That's all it takes. SIGH. :( less

In 2016 it was at 3 minutes to midnight..midnight being the moment when all HE** breaks loose and blows up the world and the world ceases to exist. With the donjohn mindset and mouth in charge it is now set at 2 minutes 30 seconds to midnight. The first time EVER a fraction has been involved. With the donjohn mouth unchecked how close will he take us to our doom and when do you expect he causes BYE BYE KABOOM BYE BYE? less
