‘Mass purge’: Sarah Sanders implements new standard that disqualifies ‘almost the entire White House press corps’

‘Mass purge’: Sarah Sanders implements new standard that disqualifies ‘almost the entire White House press corps’
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has quietly implemented a new standard that has resulted in what one journalist calls “a mass purge” of “almost the entire White House press corps.”


You just know Sarah Sanders is loving purging people who ask her hard questions.

Invoking your executive privilege after publication is akin to invoking your virginity after pregnancy. - Mrs. Betty Bowers








Nudes, Money & Roger Stone. Eww.
Roger Stone is under the gun and under-funded for his legal defense -- so, ironically, he's ripped a page out of Stormy Daniels' playbook -- making big money at a Virginia strip club.

”He’s the president of the United States. You have to respect the office.” - Tiger Woods, asked about Trump's immigration policies.

”He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” - The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
-------------------





I need to sound off about Tiger Woods, who is the greatest golfer in history, bar none. He was also one of the greatest cheaters in history, not at golf but at marriage. We know his back injury was not from golf. So now Tiger tells us to respect the office of the presidency, yet I saw no respect from Tiger towards the lives of the 100+ women with whom he had affairs. He has also done zip for society outside the 19th hole.

Tiger & Trump: Birds of a feather flock together.

Power outage

I've been incommunicado since 10am. Repair work was being done. I really hate when that happens.

So I decided to make the best of it. I ran errands, did some grocery shopping, bought a wardrobe closet at 1/2 price and a friend is doing an estimate on finishing the roof edging as I type this.

Best of all my pupper Luna is recovering beautifully.

When I returned online I was hoping that Trump resigned or was arrested. I can dream, can't I?

I did see that Barr is being held in contempt by the House. Go House Go! These Trump clowns are making it easy for the House to hold them accountable. It's as though they want to be locked up. Freud would have a field day with these dolts.

I will return tomorrow. Deep apologies for any humor inconvenience.




Oh, and here are some Dominican nuns playing bumper cars.


Peace.
