My piece about Trump's splashing his name and face all over everything. Sadly, the editor removed a key word from the rebuke I received when I was a youngster: should read, "writes his name on shithouse walls." www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_v...

🔥 @repdeliaramirez to @KristiNoem: “Bottom Line: You lie with impunity. You reject checks & balances. You ignore Congress & the courts… you can either resign, Trump will fire you, or you’ll be impeached.
