"On behalf of myself and my family, I'd like to thank etc", instead of "Both I and my family thank etc." And why do folks say "I'd like to"? Damn it, just do it!!!!!

Me hate to see people making the same stupid mistake's over and over. They should of read a grammar book, or payed more attention in English class. Its assign of the times, I guess.

The Mooch overestimates his abilities and importance. I really think this is some kind of false flag operation meant to minimize our efforts because, hey, The.Mooch.has.got.this., The Mooch is landing the plane. In fact it's so ludicrous that I think Trump or TrumpJr is behind it.

The Mooch is a legend in his own mind. He's better not fly on any small aircraft either. I'd be wary of commercial aircraft too, if I were him. You know what republicans will do to win. Anything but get more votes.

If we get enough little irritations like this against Trump, they add up.

Just keep raising that blood pressure!

Is there a smilie where there are two dastardly hands rubbing together? If not, there should be. Every person, place or thing that causes Trump stress and aggravation is a plus as far as I'm concerned. I don't care whose side they were on yesterday as long as they are driving him insane today.

The Mooch is a truly despicable human being, even too despicable for the Trump White House. I wouldn't think anyone would want to attract his attention, so to speak.

I don't care how despicable he is. If he is willing to run anti Trump ads- and even takes half a point off Trump, I'll send my regards.
