Huckabee used her official White House Press Secretary account to call out a restaurant and its owner by name. Any harm done to that woman will be on her head, but she won’t feel a bit of guilt. I wonder if there’s a Hillary-run child sex ring running from the restaurant’s basement. ---

To be honest, God will use a lot of Religious Objections to keep Trumpers out of his Kingdom. ---

This is, what, the third time this week an administration official has been booted from a restaurant? I hope this becomes a trend, and anyone associated with the administration is hounded out of every public place they try to go to. I read an article this week about people who work for the administration having difficulty getting dates. Gee, do ya think if NO ONE wants to date you or even transact business with you, maybe it will sink in that you’re the baddies? ---

> [@Eonwe](#): > > Good, but he’s still a fucker. Honestly, the guy has to end that article with: "A Democratic-controlled Congress would be a basket of deplorables, but there would be enough Republicans to gum up the Senate’s machinery, keeping the institution as peripheral as it has been under their control and asphyxiating mischief from a Democratic House. " > > Really, what planet are these people on. He just got done arguing, politely, that every one of the Republicans in governance right now are pieces of shit, but somehow the Dems are still the deplorable ones?

There have been opinion pieces written every day for 3 years excoriating Trump; this is just another one on the heap. Hey, don’t rain on my parade. 😛 Yes, there have been tons of anti-thump opinion pieces, but they’ve used words like _falsehoods, untruths, inaccuracies, misinformation,_ and other soft euphemisms–especially in the headlines–to describe thump’s manner of discourse. (I realize someone else writes the headlines–not usually the writer of the article.) I’m not saying the words lie/liar have never been used, because they have, but I found it very refreshing to see the word LIAR in a headline, right out there in front of God and everybody. ---

It’ll matter even more when PEOPLE start referring to him as a liar. If it’s in a website/newspaper, it’s still the same to all supporters-- fake news. I wouldn’t be surprised if Orange Anus claims he’s the best liar in the world. Bigly.
