Trump wanted to pick Gov. Kreme Krispie, but the GOP made him pick Pence. It's well documented.

Just about everyone Trump has selected has been a swampy GOP cretin.

He's going to need to employ someone to drain the swamp, there is a danger to employing the goblins who live there for the task but on the other hand you don't want someone who has never been in it to help you navigate it either.

I'm very much into description, and often use North/South/East/West to make it easy for myself to describe direction/positioning as well as to make it easier for the writer to visualize/place things. I think I picked this up from Bernard Cornwell, to an extent. I like semi-colons; I find they can add structure to the writing. Here it is. Sometimes it can be fun to suddenly bring attention to something new, by using a very short sentence to bring the flow of reading to a halt. I think something I need to work on however is my use of explaining what each hand is doing. I often have sex scenes in my writing though, and well... hand placement is kind of important in describing what is going on.

Are they standing, and his left hand is sliding down the curve of her back towards her rear while his right has cupped behind her head to bring her in for a passionate kiss? Is things getting rough, and the left hand has her two wrists captured there while his right is toying with her left breast as he repeatedly rails into her, her legs wobbling and jolting at either side of his viciously moving hips? Is it doggy style, and he's nailing her in the ass while resting on her back, his right hand reaching down to her crotch to rub her clit while his left is at her chest, toying with a nipple? Or maybe it's all-out rape, and to stop her screaming, he's choking her with his left while his right is ripping at her clothes?

Even in that one paragraph, I said the words 'right', 'left', and 'hand' quite a few times, but I like adding that detail to better give visualization. It offers more than "He went to grab her ass as he took her head in a kiss", "He has her wrists bound in one hand and is playing with her tit in another", "He's fucking her doggy style while pinching a nipple nad rubbing her clit", "He squeezes down on her neck while trying to strip her", etc.
