Didn’t he actually hit on a girl who wasn’t even a teenager at some press conference?

They like me and I like them… They’re on our side. It’s almost a celebration, in a way.”**  
> The truckers’ grievances … include what they say are unfairly low freight rates during the coronavirus pandemic, price-gouging by the brokers, ill-conceived safety regulations … Greg Anderson, who said he has been in the trucking business for 33 years, told CNN earlier on Friday that Trump had “lied on national television” … “ This is a protest. (Individual-ONE) elaborated that we were here to support him. Our message to him would be this is a protest against bad regulation, broker transparency, truck insurance, so on and so forth. This is not here to support (Individual-ONE). We’re here to get resolution and bring awareness to our problem and fix our problems.”_[/COLOR]

> But, of course _ **It’s always about ME** _

I watched that press conference, and you could see Trump getting more and more irritated as the horns got louder and louder. Notably he didn’t go on trying to sell his ‘_they’re doing that to show their love for me_’ bullshit after the bit you quoted. He just tried to ignore the din.

No doubt he will have told the DC police to make sure it doesn’t happen again (and to hell with the truckers’ Constitutional rights).

Well, according to my sources, not very often because the pigs tend to strenuously object. Just something I heard.

This raises some questions about the configuration of that portion of his anatomy, given we have Cecil’s word that pigs have corkscrew-shaped penises.

That is one of the ugliest soap bottles I’ve ever seen. Geez, even Crabtree & Evelyn used to put effort into the appearance of their overpriced products.

“and turn off the sink with your elbow”?? I don’t know about her, but I usually just turn off the faucet.

I doubt that makes much of a difference. When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

From the Trump Pence campaign page on the truth over facts website:

> The website takes a closer look at Biden’s words and phrasing and brings in “experts” to discern if there is hidden meaning behind the muddled declarations that most normal people would miss.

Note that the scare quotes around experts are theirs not mine. Even they can’t argue with a straight face that their so-called “experts” are legit.
