Kelly in. Well, it never seemed as though the Trump/Priebus nuptials were a marriage made in heaven. And I never cared much for Preibus anyway. When voters selected Trump as president, they should have expected turmoil and drama to accompany … Continue reading →
Well, it did always seem like one of those marriages that would never last. Jeff Sessions was one of the earliest Trump supporters, mainly because of immigration. But their histories and personal styles are so at variance that it’s not … Continue reading →
The subject of this post is worthy of a tome. But I’m actually trying to go somewhere this afternoon (fancy that!) and so it will be a condensation, perhaps with a sequel to follow at some point. Rumors are flying … Continue reading →
