    She's looking for a free ride. #gofundme or lobbyist sugar daddy ... I doubt she cares which. She'll get her free ride ... "house sitting" or as a "guest" with a DNC donor. Like I said, she hung up the "for sale" sign and everyone's seen it.

    Whatever happened to the newly elected using their Office to crash out in. Demos and Repubs did it back in the 60s and 70's.

    Shows why Repubs are twice as smart about a roof over their head. They would at least shack up with 2 or 3 other newly elected.

    If she said she borrowed them, she borrowed them. Why lie? Fidel Castro? Is that a fair comparison? You are making something out of nothing.

    Most people have never experienced the personal and financial risk of starting a business, or of taking over a failing business. That is a problem in our Congress. There is an old saying that lawyers are experts in making laws about things that they have no clue about.

    I'm calling her a faux socialist, and a commie panhandler looking for a free ride. I didn't lie about anything ... I stand by my comments, and my prediction. She will get the "free" ride that lobbyists are willing to provide.

    Thank you for sharing. Instead of wishing her success, you have already condemned her. Typical flock. It's we against them, yes?

    I do want her to succeed, and figure out payment now. And it can be done.
    It is called "pragmatism", something that Trump could use some of.

    Sure. :roll: pragmatism. Euthanasia is pragmatism ... not universal care.

    She could pose in Hustler and maybe make some serious cash, in a nice and legal way.

    Everyone gave Trump a chance after the election. He just showed his true self almost immediately after.

    Pragmatism is realism. What you want may not be feasible so look for a way that is. Euthanasia?

    She is just starting. Trump started by personally denigrating his opponents and has gone downhill from there. He has had plenty of time to act like a president and he has failed.

    There were a number of stories about Congress Critters having to sleep in the offices because they couldn't afford a place to live in DC. So now there is an actual poor woman who has to move to an expensive city and she doesn't have the financial resources necessary. Maybe she will soon have a lot of money from bribes and kickbacks and insider trading.

    The dummies who have been doing it have done a lousy job for the past 153 years.

    Her main problem is that she is not photogenic. She could use an image consultant that would reduce her dingbat expressions. She will never be taken seriously as long as she continues to look like a moon bat.

    That is a nice *man spread* photo that shows dominance. No wonder she intimidates the Repubs.

    Try again.....40 Demos didn't even show up to his Inauguration and Immediately started their resistance before he could do much of anything. Then there was Bill Kristol and the Never Trumpers. Who are still trying to screw him over with the Demos.

    Thanks for validating that it was on par for the course for you, and the rest of the leftness along with the Never Trumpers.
