"Patriots, in and out of uniform, put their lives on the line to gather the information that goes into the President’s Daily Brief. They do this expecting that he will at least read the damn thing - and use it to protect Americans."

and to state the effin' obvious, Dump is one lazy SOB. He loves all the pomp and circumstance that go with his position, but is totally unwilling to do any of the hard work his current job requires. I suspect he's always been this way throughout his whole, useless life.

And invitations to join Twitter.

As others have been requesting for some time now, could you all, please, for those of us who are unable to see embedded links, tell us what the link says? Zr

19. It would be challenging to "tell" us what "that link says"

I think this picture may be more than a thousand words. I's a mockup of the paper placemats some restaurants give children, with crayons, so they can color. It's entitled "Presidential Daily Briefing." It has multiple possible activities (for instance there's a word search) and it's colored in, in coral, turquoise, and yellow. It's beautifully done, and probably has much more satire in it than my old eyes can see without enlarging it.

A little research indicates it was originally published by the Onion, but their parody is 700 pages. Maybe someone can find an actual link.

only it says presidential daily brief and it's all colored in

i know you can't see text--
hoping a picture would show up
there was nothing for me to copy and paste for you
it's funny so i thought *some* people might enjoy it or get a kick out of it

can you see the link?
are you able to follow the link onto the twitter feed and at least see it there?

A jumbled mess that freezes my computer. I did see part of that drawing (the part that was not covered by the invitation to join Twitter), and it was sadly amusing.

but (stupidly) i can't remember how to post pictures here.

i remember having to use photobucket--which i guess i still have but all the pictures are gone from my file in photobucket -- so i don't even remember how to use that. i tried recently but the photo didn't show up here. (it was a birthday picture--a cake or something-- for someone in the lounge.) oh well.
