Trump famously never used email.
His father preached endlessly about putting nothing in writing.
They were fined for housing discrimination for putting C's for "colored" on top of apllications.
That never happened again.

Everything he has ever done has involved pushing boundaries of legality.

Once canoeing in Canada we pulled up on a small island and smelled that strong musky smell and discovered a bear sleeping in a tangle of blueberry bushes. Exit stage left...

And to be that close to an unseen snake to be able to smell it.

American Rhetoric: Martin Luther King, Jr: A Time to Break Silence (Declaration Against the Vietnam War) Complete text and audio of Martin Luther King's Declaration Against the Vietnam War

Yearly credit to John Mack of Palmyra, NJ, for teaching a lot of 14-16 year olds Dr King's Riverside Church speech, so provocative it's still often ignored. If you don't know it, you don't know what he was really up to. www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlk...

They give this no more thought than as if they're playing a game of Risk.

I was about to get the lifetime geezer pass but stopped the order in horror a couple of weeks ago when I realized I'd have a lifetime of chucklehead in my wallet. Now I must wait until he's gone.

UPDATE: Trump Jr.-backed startup receives $620 million Pentagon loan In October, Popular Information reported that the Pentagon awarded a contract to Unusual Machines, an obscure drone company that President Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., joined as an advisor in Novemb...

Donald Trump's son owns 200,000 shares of stock in, and is on the board of, a drone maker that got a $620 million loan from the Pentagon, but I'm sure that's coincidental to the Chinese drone ban

We had a Tenda like yours. Finally got rid of it when we sold my mom's house. It had a 70 year run and all family members sat in it as babies.

Can't find the pic with my youngest brother with a beer bottle resting behind him.

I would hazard a guess that's he's just more forgetful. In the firehose of shit he's overseeing, there's just too much for an addled old man to reflect and act upon.

The Takeover of Malheur Kicked Off a Decade of Lawlessness The wildlife refuge occupation set the stage for Trump, January 6, and so much more.

Man I remember Malheur so well. Such a clear signal of what was to come. Some of the most privileged & entitled white men in the f'ing world engaging in open lawlessness in the name of their own imagined victimhood ...

... and getting away with it.

That's the true American template.

This is my guess too, but there's lots of $ coming in to a pretty big field. I had hoped that Kina Collins had a chance but Ford might be hard to beat. He's very popular in Oak Park and if Proviso backs him...
