   Update:

   My son in law went to see his regular Dr this morning and Doc sent him back to the hospital. They’re on the way now. He said the concussion is affecting him and he need the stomach checked. OMG!

   The doctor said he should have never been released from hospital.

     I hope Jason has family who can advocate for his care. We all know that black folks don’t get the same treatment in hospitals as white folks.

   Melania Trump and her sister Ines both moved to the US in the 1990s to pursue careers in modeling and fashion. Their parents later followed, and now reportedly live in NYC. When brown ppl do this, it's derided as "chain migration."

      Yeah, they were nasty and mean when they supported Trump’s birther campaign against President Obama. THEY SHOULD HAVE IGNORED IT.

      Remember Trump’s Fake News Awards from a few days ago? Well, MSM didn’t report on that nonsense and it went over like a lead balloon. That’s what they should have done with everything “TRUMP” and we wouldn’t have this dangerous, disgusting tub-of-lard in the Oval Office.

    The great part about the false narratives being spread by many within the GOP in brutally attacking the FBI is that all of these people are considered co-conspirators in the Trump / Russia investigation if in fact Trump or anyone in his inner circle asked them to do so.

      She retired from her career in pornography to become the purchased trophy wife of a grotesque, tub-of-lard “celebrity”. Maybe he was less grotesque at the time of the transaction, I really don’t know.

      I’m unaware of her other accomplishments.

      I just hope she hasn’t permanently degraded the First Lady position just as her husband has degraded the presidency.
