His choices uniformly have been extremely LOUSY and his ability to louse things up continues on. He never learns from his mistakes of which there are many so he keeps making the SAME mistakes repeatedly blaming everyone but himself oblivious to the fact and unaware that the entire fault for their failures is his and his alone for having cast them.

Screwing everyone who gets in your way or questions you or tries to control you when you are totally out of control and destroying everything that matters? Why else seek power if not to crush them? Right?
Is there some underground school that educates cops about how to survive murdering unarmed young black men? They seem to do it regularly. Dumb luck or education?

I guess it would be a perfect storm of positive to pull it off wouldn't it? A miracle? A happy ending? Better yet a happy beginning of better things to come?
In it you will also read the followingNo man is an island entire of itselfEvery man's death dininishes meNever send to know for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.

Though I read the novel and saw the movie years ago I appreciated what was said yesterday. A direct quote from the Hero, Robert Jordan, in" For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway."Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today " Jordan also says"The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for and I hate very much to leave it".Senator McCain first read the novel when he was 12. I thought that was a rather impressive read for a 12-year-old.Former President Obama also said the followingIt doesn't matter what our blood line is, what we look like, our last names, where our parents/grandparents came from or how recently they arrived What unites us is the belief that all of us are created equal and endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights among which are life... less

Of course Meghan's was the most emotional, understandably so but the others said some mighty fine words about the Senator. Who among them said the finest?Same with Aretha. There were some performers (Ariana Grande for one) and some speakers. Did one appearance stand out for you?

Thy people shall be my people and thy God my God"Said by Naomi to Ruth, her beloved mother-in-law in the Bible. We find that (most of us) inspirational and admirable.When it is implied/stated by political supporters of a crooked corrupt treasonous politician? It is reprehensible/shameful.

A brief glance and then they move on to other things and never once look back. Why the contempt disdain no use for words by some while others celebrate them daily?
Whether one takes the religious tack or the scientific tack isn't there a reason for everything? How can anything be without a reason for its being? Whatcha think?

It makes no sense at all. The two extremes in one human being? Something's gotta give, right? What?

The special few that are BETTER OFF with the despot dictator support him. Some among the supporters may be worse off but they will never admit it. Either they are hopeless optimists or liars. Either way they are the happy ones. The rest are quite depressed. How long can that go on? Is there a shelf life, used by date, throw away by date? The milk smells and very bad and there are green wobbly things in it. Some drink it and think it tastes swell as he**. Other want to throw it out because it has GONE BAD. No accounting for taste is there? less

Or did Ryan and McConnell slam that door shut, LOCK it when they took over and threw away the key? Shoddy shameful insulting to those bodies that used to work and are sorely in need of repair. But no one cares. Well, maybe a few do.
