Trump doesn't believe this applies to him, physically or psychologically. 🤔

Yummy... I'll buy half dozen of each. 😊😊😊
Today I made pumpkin muffins and very uneven chocolate chip cookies. Bread is baking now. I prefer cooking to baking because I’m not that great at it, It’s so precise and all, but today was a #bakingmood. :) (or more likely I just don’t have the patience for it)😁

There's no telling what this deviant (Trump) will think up next to try and distract America from his criminal behavior. 🤔😠
From @propublica.org: stories of the Venezuelans, none of them criminals, who were picked in a made-for-TV raid on an apartment building in Chicago that used blackhawk helicopters and military tactics
1/ The night of the raid, Jonahyker López awoke to the sound of a helicopter over his building and federal agents yelling, “Open the door!” López told me he sat on the edge of his bed, wishing that his own door would become invisible. But the door came down and agents burst in. 🧵

52 years ago today (Nov. 17, 1973) Nixon told the public he wasn't a crook. This was like Trump saying today he is not a pedophile. 😂

Today's new social media society has scores of expert blabbermouths, ready to explain reality to you on almost any subject, for only x dollars per month. Perhaps when societies devolve to this point, the end is near. 🤔
