No, everyone kn...<i>Trump Jr. met with a witch!"</i><br /><br />No, everyone knows witches (and warlocks) are fantasies that are highly improbable. Trump Jr. met with a baby, which may or may not be viable (i.e. real). The NYT, WaPo et al have been on a baby hunt to expose her, and abort him, ever since. They are crossing their fingers and checking them twice.n.nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252447117532342957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-51731378882432577062017-07-16T11:43:50.604-05:002017-07-16T11:43:50.604-05:00"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

And that after they heard that they ended the meeting ASAP. This doesn't fit the narrative so he must be portrayed in a way that makes him seem a sinister and dangerous man, almost at James Bond SMERSH agent level, but also a man whose words are to be immediately discounted. He must be credible and not credible at the same time.

When he was a young aide (Secretary) to a Congressman, his assistants noted that he became very secretive. They typed letters to constituents but he did all of his communication with bureaucrats or other politicians by telephone. He would not put anything in writing.<br /><br />He would go in the Congressman's office (who was usually playing golf) and close the door to do his telephoning.<br /><br />That was 1934. NO email and nothing on paper that could expose his manipulation.Michael Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127450762129879267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-4094452177667730842017-07-16T09:11:26.795-05:002017-07-16T09:11:26.795-05:00Art Tatum.
