Question

DJT doesn't think John Ratcliffe can stand the heat?

Aug 2, 2019 6:06PM PDT

HIS words

Rather than going through months of slander and libel, I explained to John how miserable it would be for him and his family to deal with these people....

months of slander and libel...AND the truth coming out?

It would be miserable for Ratcliffe but it's enjoyable for DJT and his family?

Or maybe it would be embarrassing for DJT to see his nominee torn to shreds?

What's DJT got that John Ratcliffe hasn't got? A MISERABLE FAMILY?

Any candidate for any position should take that warning into consideration

He was going to nominate ONLY the "best people"....

HE "nominated" him......then he told him that he couldn't stand the heat? DJT didn't realize how weak the individual was that HE was nominating?

One of the qualities some admire in DJT is his truthfulness...telling it like it is.

HE has a miserable family...never mind who caused them to be miserable.

DJT is the author of his own misfortune.

a fondue lamp, so yes, he's being "prudent" as George Bush Senior used to say, to get out before being scrutinized. He had as much fitness for the job as I do giving birth - zilch.

my analogy is iffy, used for impact more than anything. I guess I should have wrote " I'm as fit for being a doctor of theology as he is for the appointed post" or something like that...

Although I've often wished I could be a woman if only for a short time...

I'm fine with being male, just wonder how "the other half" feels...

a common descriptor. Starts with a Q, ends with an R, two E's and one U in-between.

I'm still amazed ( and frankly it's a shame ) that on television nowadays they blur out the breasts of statuary, paintings, etc. and even smudge the (shocking!) presence of nipple protrusion when it occurs thru tight sweaters and such like garments. Only for women though - male nipples are somehow non-sexual, I reckon? :^| Though _did_ cause a fuss when on Batman's "armor" a few years ago... So go figure! :^)

Had a kind of iffy resume.
Doubtful he would have made it through congress.

Why didn't the Don know this before nominating him?

Any chance you think you have to smear the man, you take it. How do YOU know his family is miserable, JP? They don't appear that way to anybody but you for some reason.

might direct you to his wife. Grin
Although it's hard to imagine a woman with her wardrobe, perks, cheekbones and other assets being "miserable".

Anyway, you got Bill pegged this time.

How do I KNOW?...

Did I say I KNEW?

I said/questioned,

What's DJT got that John Ratcliffe hasn't got? A MISERABLE FAMILY?

some might ask why I asked that question...I would refer them to DJT's statement that

I explained to John how miserable it would be for him and his family to deal with these people....

Since TONI H thinks DJT tells it like it is and DJT and his family are dealing with "these people"...AND dealing with "these people" is miserable.

I don't think it to be much of a leap If it is a leap at all, that him and the little woman and the young ones are not living the "life of Riley" at the present time.

Perhaps TONI H should ask DJT how HE knows it would be miserable for someone else.

And when I said HE has a miserable family. it's because HE made the claim....NO ONE that HE appointed would have the gonads to tell him that their family was miserable under HIS watch.
