Before I retired, I had a baking business, so it will be good stuff. Gluten Free and everything.

And maybe a good bottle of Bourbon too!

That would be so much fun!! I love Joyce.

cocktail party in New Haven and was offered a mint julep and thought wow..that sounds so nice. I barely sipped on it because it was wicked strong and dumped in plant. But then they thought I loved it and brought me another.

Have you tried Texas bourbon -. Balcones? Supposed to have won awards.

That must have taken some doing - considering all the threats and implicit (maybe explicit) bribe offers from Cheeto.

Snip

He didn’t read intelligence reports and mixed up classified material with what he had seen in newspaper clips. He seemed confused about the structure and purpose of organizations and became overwhelmed when meetings covered multiple subjects. He blamed immigrants for nearly every societal problem and uttered racist sentiments with shocking callousness.

The FBI was better off when “you all only hired Irishmen,” Sessions said in one diatribe about the bureau’s workforce. “They were drunks but they could be trusted. Not like all those new people with nose rings and tattoos — who knows what they’re doing?”

Snip
Logs on the electronic tablets used to deliver the President’s Daily Brief to Sessions came back with no indication he had ever punched in the passcode.

anything whatsoever. If they were gonna incriminate Trump they would have showed signs already. Like Corey L, that will be a joke.
