Mama, what about pants? Has Todd got any pants on? Can you see Russia?
What is a patriotic military pin? I’m wondering what would be an example of an unpatriotic military pin to a Republican.

By the look on her face it would appear that the guy wiped his nose with that hand just prior to the handshake! Go mamaJD!

Way to go Mama. And don’t let these negative liberals ruin your good day.

who is the other man at the table, MamaDJ? is he the ghost writer? I am serious, not wisecracking…. I understand that from time to time, ghostwriters will also be at such signings… (not meaning hers, just others)

Cis - the other man at the table was a member of the publisher’s staff. The publishing staff were there as a way to help keep the books moving in front of Sarah. No mention of him as a ghostwriter. His conversation with me appeared to be logistical only.
A patriotic military pin is iPhone shorthand for possibly an army insignia minus wording. Additionally, she wore a pin that said “Hooah.”
Todd was wearing pants and I believe they were black.

Correction: Todd’s pants were blue jeans — dark wash.
