I just wore my seat belt here in Chicago. Does that mean Iβm more of a βrough manβ than he is?

Wait counting to 25 was little fort.
I loved the first half of Dombey; second had its moments.

If I held a million dollar per plate fundraiser I only need one idiot to come.
Even half an idiot Iβll be doing pretty well.
Yeah.

I wish I could host a million dollar per plate fundraiser.
All funds go to me just going wild with drinks and apps at bar trivia nights forever. Rattle your jewelery.
(They talked me into drinking a Prairie Oyster at Le Piano, my local jazz bar, just now and itβs now all falling into place.)

If Trump wants to help his friends get richer on betting markets, why not just throw them a bone if they bet he mentions Bigfoot in a speech or something?
