to get her master's attention. "See, Mr. Trump, see how loyal and sycophantic I am! Wouldn't I make a terrific running mate?" 🤮

Can you imagine? Trump would be bad enough as pres. but to have that moronic howler monkey a heartbeat from being pres. is more than mortal beings should have to bear. Old "sporkfoot" representing the people of the United States of America is a nightmare I'm not willing to harbor in my mind, I know that! 🤯

My grandmother and great aunt lived in one, I have friends who live in "trail parks" and the meme is tired and offensive at a time when we all should, and could, be compassionate to all people who cannot afford a traditional home.

That's all I wanted to say.

Except that when I want an example of trash, it's rich trash like the Kardashians.

He's very anti-trump, but other than that, he's not on our side. Fortunately, he usually is pretty focused on the anti-trump message.

are almost always hooked up to sewer systems.
What Mr. Wilson meant to infer was travel trailers, which must have their "brown water" pumped out frequently to get rid of solid and liquid waste.
I'm sure he's not familiar with trailer parks or he wouldn't have made such a comment.
Sometimes, when you shoot from the hip, your aim is wildly off target. Mr. Wilson's comment was wildly off target here, but if you look beyond his mistake and imagine MTG being pumped out of a travel trailer's brown water tank, it is unmercifully funny.
That's the way I prefer to look at it anyway.

I live in an area where most of the people -- including some in this thread -- calling MTG "trailer trash" couldn't afford to live in the local trailer parks. I know I damn well can't.

It was a relief to get through nursing school and start out with whites and gradually move into scrubs. Down time was spent in jeans.

However much I can relate to her poor clothing choices (she's 50 and needs to stop dressing like she's 20), I can't excuse her unconscionably rude behavior. The rest of the yahoos might have sat on their hands, but they did achieve some decorum. Greene proved once again that she feels compelled to act like white trash in order to demonstrate her superiority as a "real Murkin."

As her looks continue to go, so will her chances of staying in office*, even from that "sunset" district in GA. They'll find some male closet Klanner to unseat her.
