    Trump's appointments are starting to sound like the Billionaire's Club, except for the other few election deniers, tin foil hat folks, butt kissers, and Mar a Lago frequent flyers club donors.

    Little known fact is that ambassadors to non hotspot countries like France, Italy etc are generally expected to foot the bill for big Embassy parties. That's why Anna Wintour was persistently rumored to be up for UK, France during the Obama years.

    Hope the Italians like cheap seafood.

    The owner of the Rockets being sent to Italy on a long-term assignment is a Rockets-related topic.

    My suggestion: Anyone who wants to sound off about Trump, regarding this or anything else, should start a separate thread in D&D.

    Let's say it is not big enough to make it to the D and D.

    The difference is he will be in Italy, will that affect his decision making when it comes to blocking a trade or endorsing one?

    But in the end Udoka and Stone are gaining too much clout and power in this ......that was expected.
