She's going to love that.  Whew boy. 

I remember reading somewhere that was what she wanted and thought, "When hell freezes over."  I guess hell hath frozen.  :/

I thought Trump was going to drain the swamp.  Looks to me like, with every appointment, he's wallowing in it.

I see Newt wrote a gushing review of Ivanka's new book.

So is Callista Gingrich part of the swamp because she's a woman, or a conservative or a Catholic?  Which one is it @Cripplecreek  @Applewood ?

She married a twice divorced man, which to Catholics is a no-no.  Or at least it was. Who knows with the present Pope?

As long as she abstains from the holy sacraments she's cool.

She is standing outside the confessional.
