It\u2019s I tired day here in the CatBox.  I haven\u2019t visited the throne since 3:00 AM, si I hope the Imodium caught up to the Republicosis.  The Republican Trump* defense team finishes today.  Are you as sick of those sphincters as I am?  Have a great day!<\/font><\/p>\n

From The New Yorker<\/a>: Donald J. Trump has \u201cno intention whatsoever\u201d of having John Bolton\u2019s book read aloud to him, Trump confirmed on Monday.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said that his daughter, Ivanka Trump, had obtained a draft manuscript of the Bolton book and had offered to read it aloud to him \u201clike she does with all of the other books,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe reads the books to me slowly and stops when there\u2019s a long word to tell me what it means,\u201d Trump said. \u201cBut I told her that the Bolton book was the last book in the world that I wanted to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n
