    The mighty Homer works in mysterious ways, his wonders to perform.

    Interesting that Lisa becomes the Donald's successor; means maybe there will be a woman president?  
    Wonder who?

    It's all about the subject of a verb or preposition. The way I learned it is that if who/whom can be replaced by he or she, then who is correct - "who thought" - and if who/whom can be replaced by him/her, then whom is used - "I wonder if it will be her (or someone else)" or "I wonder whom."

    No danger of Hillary being nominated again or elected.

    Doesn't show weather Lisa is Democrat or Republican.  I kinda think she's Democrat.
    Which lady is up and coming in either party?

    All of the family trips costing millions
    The debt ceiling is forever increasing
    Remember Chumps MO
    HE rakes everyone over the coals
    and then declares Bankruptcy.

    The bubble will burst.
