“I know Melania. I haven’t talked to her in months, but if my gut is right, I don’t think she’s going to put up with it much longer. I know nothing. That’s just my instinct and I go with my gut and my gut’s always right. I’m just telling you, Melania’s got the worst job in the country and I don’t think she wants to do it a lot longer. I think she will do it for as long as she has to for her son, and that’s it,” Mika Brzezinski, MSNBC-TV

Hospital Carnage

Submitted by ub on

At a 120-year-old Bronx Lebanon Hospital, a gunman shot several people and killed one, then tried to set himself on fire on the 17th floor, before he killed himself. He managed to get an AR 15 assault rifle inside the hospital. The questions that beg to be asked is whey is there no metal detectors at these public hospitals?

NYPD says at approx 2:55 pm a 911 call was received reported a male firing a gun on the 16th floor of Bronx Lebanon Hospital.

This was not an act of terrorism, @NYCMayor says of Bronx hospital shooting. "It was an isolated incident." http://cbsn.ws/2spZvqc

BONA FIDE RELATIONSHIPS

Submitted by ub on

Are you, or have you ever been in a bona fide relationship? Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free in a bona fide relationship?

The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear travel ban cases and stays injunctions as to “foreign nationals who lack any bona fide relationship” to the US.

Do countries not on the travel ban list already have a "bona fide relationship" with the U.S. by doing business with the Trump Organization?

Has @SCOTUS created an unconscionable, administrative nightmare? What exactly constitutes a bona fide relationship?
