No.

It was in response to these. Asked for, provided, then… silence. Evasion.

Those times are not occasional blowups. Simply, it is her nature.

You asked him to comment on your post 68. He declined. How is that evasion, rather than just… declining?  
How about you comment on this thing I said back in 2005 about bees? No? Evasion!

Occasional blowups are in human nature generally. It’s not some bizarre aberrant behaviour.

But if she was a bitch some of the time and a dedicated civil servant most of the rest of the time, I can see that as an acceptable trade-off. Trump, with no civil service of any kind in his record, has not earned similar consideration, and his bitchiness is on full display.

And in all even-handed non-partisan fairness, it’s not a desirable trait for either of them.

Wait - was it about a picture of Obama screaming bees? Because I still want to see that. I feel so cheated.

If I understand correctly, they don’t change.

MOOSE.

An uncle is named Harold Dean. He’s always been called ‘Dean’. As children, his friends called him ‘Deany-weeny Mussolini’. That was shortened to ‘Moose’.

Clinton is no longer relevant; it will be nice when Trump’s supporters finally realize this, too.

As noted, Trump’s codename is Mogul. Traditionally, all of the family code names start with the same letter. So…

Melania: Mamasita  
Barron: Monster  
Ivanka: Most  
Eric: Meh  
Donny: Meh  
Tiffany: Mistake

(Yes, Eric and Donny are interchangeable).

Talk about flag desecration.

I vote for “Butthurt”.

And maybe we need to stop calling the secret service “SS”. It might give the Whiner-In-Chief ideas. Maybe he’ll get them all some really “Boss” uniforms, too.

Surely Eric ought to be “Malfoy”.
