The coalition will be made up of spouses or representatives of leaders at UNGA.

But I'd wager that the current Magatocracy
actually does something evil for something
they want, and then when they get it,
make it even more evil.

That's the arrangement. She doesn't do anything else, it appears. She doesn't even LIVE at the White House, "fook" that!

“Be Best” was a dig and a nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

As she ages, she looks more and more like who she really is.
