Another Trump Monday

Trump suggests legal action coming against Mueller's team
President Donald Trump suggested Monday that "angry Democrats" on special counsel Robert Mueller's team could face legal action over alleged "conflicts of interest."
"The 13 Angry Democrats in charge of the Russian Witch Hunt are starting to find out that there is a Court System in place that actually protects people from injustice...and just wait 'till the Courts get to see your unrevealed Conflicts of Interest!" Trump said.


It's very considerate of Trump not to inform his staff of what he is doing, that way they're not accessories to his crimes.

You have to take a cable car then take a 20 minute walk to reach this Swiss restaurant in Aescher, Berggasthaus. I guess taking an UBER is not an option due to lack of parking.

I'll be back online on Monday

Deep apologies for any humor inconvenience.

Today a friend came by and offered to do some household repairs for me, so I gladly accepted the offer! She put an all natural insecticide around my house, destroyed leaf cutter ant hills I had been battling and picked cashews from my tree. She also repaired my front gate. Plus a bunch of little stuff I either couldn't reach or couldn't do. Ah, youth, I miss ye.

I love doing home repairs. It's one of my hobbies. But, alas, age limits me.


Listening to all the right wing pundits who think Robert Mueller, Special Counsel, is overreaching in his investigation, I thought, why should Mueller ignore a crime he finds?

Kent Starr, who was investigating Bill Clinton started out investigating a real estate deal and ended up with a blue dress. Well, let's go back and unimpeach Bill Clinton!







OK, I'll get off my preachy bandwagon.




FYI. Here is a photo of a cashew and its fruit --- which by the way is as delicious as it is pretty.


Thank you for stopping by.

Peace.
