I’ve been an on-again, off-again resident of France for some 44 years, at times quite permanently, more often peripatetically, always in the same building around the corner from the Musée d’Orsay and directly across the Seine from the Tuileries.

We were never really forced to make a choice whether it should become our home, permanently. Now, along with hordes of our fellow Americans, we are considering just such a move.
In a growing number of cases, that reason can be traced to one proximate source — former President Donald Trump. Or more precisely — how he has torn apart America and our democracy that, for my nearly 80 years on this planet, I have cherished.
And as I began asking ever more widely about this concern, my wife, Pamela, and I have found a growing sentiment that we are hardly alone.
“It’s the first thing they say, ‘get me out of [America],’” said Adrian Leeds. For a quarter century, through her Adrian Leeds Group real estate agency, she has been advising mostly American folks who are considering a move to France on how to find a place to live. “But now there’s a real wave of younger people who are saying, ‘we don’t want to bring our kids up in this country. We really we want to give our kids the best. And we’re very unhappy,’” she told me.
And the trend only seems to be accelerating. “We’re up 100%, we’ve doubled our business year to date, January through March, over a year ago,” Leeds continued. “It’s going so fast the numbers are insane. I hear it every single day: ‘Get me out!’”]]]

Pecker.
Yep, they said his knees were knockin like a woodpecker in a lumberyard!
But, he'd made President. That's why we're here of a hump day, dad.
Yam s gets shook easily; recently he took down his tweets after the hush money judge threatened to jail him.
...then an hour later stated the Judge was ing around with the Election cycle.
Trump calls RFK Jr a "Democrat plant"

Seriously, how RFK being in there like this would hurt Trump? Can you answer that query, or, are you not allowed to answer something from me?
Yam s also said American Revolutionary War troops took over airports, so there is that.
He wasn't farting tbh
Moo, moo, buck-a-roo.
Though he did vow to take the bullet.
tee, hee.
In the Indiana GOP primary on Tuesday night, Donald Trump lost 22 percent of GOP primary voters to Nikki Haley. That’s surprising, since Haley ended her campaign two months ago.
The old man did her like he did old lady Clinton. Put her top rung on the curb..."Now, say goodnight."
auctioning his policy to donors
Obviously it's legal, otherwise it'd be Indictment #92. tee, hee.
We're still sittin' on 250 years of black gold, Texas tea. No reason in the world to be paying $5 a gallon for it elsewhere.
Let us proceed...
One difference between now and Teapot Dome, then it was done furtively -- in secret.
Here, Trump is publicly offering his services for a determinate amount of money, to do something he was probably going to do anyway.
