If trump read this book, he'd ban it. What do you think?

The 22nd Amendment prevents trump from serving a third term. However, if he succeeds, then the Union no longer exists because the Constitution becomes de facto null and void. Besides, only a state led by dumb f*cks would remain in a Union led by a Dictatorship.

The Driving Test...
"The first sign pictured a man with a flag in his hand. Hmm... “Beware, Parade ahead?” I hazarded.
"No"
Apparently he's the American equivalent of a warning that road works were taking place ahead. Things were going well."

An extra helping of 'ONLY IN AMERICA', today...
"It turned out that development was Mr Class Action. After rising to make further threats to the train crew, he proceeded to ask everyone to sign up for his litigation plans. (1/3)

I pointed to one of the bagels...
“What’s a French Toasted?” I begged.

Today's excerpt from 'ONLY IN AMERICA'

'ONLY IN AMERICA'.
"Wait right there, mister", she commanded.
I moved purposefully to the spot she pointed to. Standing anywhere else felt like I might receive the severest rebuke for not doing as I was told. Within seconds, a wave of her white gloves had brought a yellow cab screeching to a halt."

"Purposefully strutting up and down behind them, was a female officer, hands clasped behind her back, hair tied in a tight bun, her face cast in stone, expressionless. She had all the appearance of someone who could sentence you to death with a slight twitch of her head." (p5) #booksky #writers

"As we left the studio, I took one last look at the entrance to the old Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios and, suppressing an urge to cross the road and ask if they needed a new star, climbed back into the Jeep to be whisked from the scene as the credits rolled." (p121) #booksky
