One Side of a Conversation

It's annoying when you must hear only one side of someone's cell phone call. If they were courteous, they would put it on speaker so everyone around them could hear.

Further, when you can only hear one side, you cannot really understand what is going on.

For example . . .

Ring ring

Hello?

No! I'm not driving.

Well, yes I am in the car. But I'm stuck in traffic. Thus not driving. The car is in park right now.

No, I left the car seats at home.

Calm down, I don't need them. I don't have the kids with me.

No! No. Of course, I did not leave the kids alone. I left them safely with the dog.

Yes, I know it's my weekend.

They'll be alright. They're very smart for their age -- after all, I am their father. And the oldest is almost 7.

I just needed a break. That's all.

No. Don't worry. I am not going to the strip club. Not while this traffic is stuck.

You don't seem to understand. How can I be drinking and driving when I'm stuck in traffic, car in park, not driving? I know better than to drink and drive at the same time.

No, I'm not with my drinking buddies.

What do you mean "then where are they"? I swear, they are not in the car!

Look, they jumped out of the car because we could see a liquor store on the next block. And traffic isn't moving. I'm not with them because they haven't returned yet with more drinks for us. And we're taking turns driving, so it's okay.

Chill out. Nobody is drinking when it is their turn to drive.

What are you so upset about? I can't understand what you are saying.

Even if he loses, he wins!

Heading to Southern Border to show a new section of Wall!!!!

Heading to the Southern Border to Inspect & Show a section of the new Wall being built! And this is the first section I've completed -- so proud of that. This is in Calexico, very special little town in the very special state of California. They call it Calexico because it's in California but it's close to Mexico. So they put California first. And on the other side they have Mexicali. Which is in Mexico but close to California. And that one, they put Mexico first -- can we blame them for that? Kind of a play on words there, right? I always always put America First. So I would have picked Americal as the name for ours. Great name, right? And if I was a dictator I could just change the name. Unfortunately I'm not. But they can always give me permission. And we can orange another very special ceremony for the renaming.

Calexico, they were having huge problems with crime. With all the criminals and all the drugs flooding over the border. The human trafficking, you had these teenage girls that would open their legs for any man -- for a price. So horrible!! But I hear it's much better now -- because of Wall. Which the Fake News M.S.M. are calling a fence. Don't believe them, see for yourself on my YouTube Channel. We're having a very special ceremony today -- Friday -- at 3:10pmE. With the plaque that says PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP. That one's going to be standing there, very proudly for many many years. And we're doing the Round Table on Immigration & Border Security. Security is more important to me than trade. And the Wall is security. Enjoy!!!! youtu.be/lNgfNWM1nl8

Very very disappointed at some sad news. MacKenzie Bozo very foolishly settled. She could have had half. And tied Jeff for 7th. Richest Person. Very easily because Dave/National Enquirer did all the hard work for her. Best journalism I've ever seen in my entire life. And Dave handed it to her on a plate. Very easy win, I'm talking a par-1 hole.

Jeff Bozo, unfortunately, will still be the richest "person." And MacKenzie won't be the 2nd. richest "person." Or the 3rd. Or even the 4th. They're saying, 4th. richest "woman." Not "person." And that's worse than 7th. richest "person." Because she settled for something very unfair. Terrible for her, and terrible for America. For U.S.A. Because she let him have the Amazon Washington Post. And all her voting rights in the Amazon elections. What were you thinking, lady? Unbelievable!!!! foxnews.com/tech/jeff-bezos-divorce-finalized-tech-exec-will-keep-75-percent-of-amazon-stock-control-of-wapo

You cannot have your Pork and eat/fly It too.

If the SLS flies, it will be so expensive that it will quickly implode the program.

In order to keep the program, the SLS must perpetually be in a state of delay, which will cancel the program.

Everyone knows pork does not fly.

Folks, our Country for a very long time has been much too severe to our prisoners. Sometimes referred to as Inmates.

Tune in this afternoon when I'll participate in the 2019 Prison Reform Summit & First Step Act Celebration. Very proud that I signed First Step Act, this one's very bipartisan. We love bipartisan the best, don't we? You know it. Great law that gives Fair Sentencing to almost 2,700 of our great inmates. They got caught with a little bit of Crack, they got a much harsher sentence than the folks that had regular Coke. So unfair and we fixed that. And, we got rid of the 924(c) Stacking. That one was, you get caught doing a crime. But, you had your gun -- or guns with you and the sentence is much harsher just because you were carrying. Terrible idea that was undermining our 2nd. Amendment.

But the best part is for our wonderful White Collar guys. With First Step these guys are getting more house arrest. Also known as home confinement. And less prison. The home confinement counts instead of the prison. Takes the place of it and it's much nicer. And by the way costs the Taxpayer much less money. MAGA! youtu.be/JT4lDQWNyp0

Today, we honor The Five of the March to Leave. The very brave folks who got arrested yesterday at Parliament Square in London.

The Failed May Regime calls it Drunk & Disorderly. They call it, Assaulting a Police Officer. They call it An Offence in Herts. I call it Patriotic.

And we salute everyone that spoke(Nigel) & everyone that marched to TAKE BACK THEIR COUNTRY. To finally end the horrific European Uniom Nightmare. And possibly the only way it will happen is by ending the Failed May Regime. It's called Regime Change, folks. And it's overdue. Tommy Pain -- one of the greatest English Men -- said something very smart. "Lead. Follow. Or get out of the way!!" Theresa can't lead. Won't follow. And, won't get out of the way. So somebody better get her out of the way. Time's up!! mirror.co.uk/news/politics/brexit-rowdy-protest-masses-outside-14204005

The problem with Typewriters

Typewriters are ancient and should be abolished. People who want to keep a typewriter should be punished by being forced to use one.

One problem with typewriters is that sometimes certain letters might not work.

This would make it difficult to understand an article explaining the difference between a 3.5 inch floppy di_k and a big hard di_k, versus a mi_roSD   _ard.

It would become almost impossible for the reader to infer what the malfunctioning letter might be.

Or multiple malfunctioning letters on some typewriters.
