Mom to Tupper (OTRB 12/6/17). Motorcycle rider. Introvert. Smile at me, I'll smile back, though. Trying to not be a worrywart in life. I swear a lot.

Genius idea: A designated "quiet section" of the beach, like they do in libraries. No screeching kids, no incessant talking/yelling, no music outside earbuds. Just adults who want to feel the ocean breeze and sun in peace.

@CWDonald31415 @RadioFreeTom It's changing. I left RI 8 years ago after 47 years, and the last 3 years, I needed it more. Also, it's 10° cooler on the beach properties and near the coast.

@Sassafrass_84 Was she tired for her views or for being caught on camera being hateful?

[Agony Christie @TuppysMom]

@BrilynHollyhand And they're not covering Trump's cognitive health decline at all either! Totally irresponsible.

@Milestemplaris @PierreDupo74 @waltermasterson @dvdcolumbo You're right, it's very hard to determine satire with this administration in charge

This is Nolan. His humans have kissed all the color off of his face over the last ten years. Some seniors are silver foxes, he is a silver sweetie pie. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday

Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter

P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.

Thank you for your time, baby! ❤️

National Best Friends Day 💖
I’ve always had a little bit of Tennessee with me at every point in my career, thanks to my best friend, Judy Ogle. She traveled with me, worked as my assistant and was there for anything I needed. We had so many adventures and so many laughs – and I can’t imagine my years on the road (or my life) – without her!
