The GOP has the Majority in the Senate and the House. Presently. There majority rules which is why were in such a mess. After mid-term elections in November 2018 shoes could be on the other feet. Then the donjohn (if he is still kind) will be held at bay severely. His vetoes will be over ruled. His nominees won't be confirmed. Give him a litte taste of the same medicine the GOP gave Barack Obama. Reciprocity is so much fun! SIGH. Just a little under a year to go and if we survive maybe our fortunes will change. Maybe fortune will smile down upon us and we will get a break. Maybe. Perhaps. Possibly. less

The final death toll in Puerto Rico may reach/exceed that of Katrina. Due to Benign neglect or cold dismissive contempt?

He means reduce them to rubble in order to offset the ENORMOUS DEBT the GOP has saddled us with to make the obscenely wealthy obscenely wealthier. I'm pretty sure he's dead serious! :(

But, hey, my faith in the beauty of music continues and needs no restoration I guess . . . :)

I have not been away from choice, well other than that we always have choices. It's just that I really haven't had even a moment to spare for so long. My course has proved more time-eating than I anticipated. I knew it would be hard but I thought I would still have time to pop here as I always did. Sadly not, it's proving more intense and when I do something I like to do it well. So at the moment my life consists of work, (not having a ball there at the moment) my family and my course. No going out, no messing about - just always trying to keep my head above water. Not complaining! It's my choice to do the course and to do it well, and I work very long hours anyway, lol and my family are complete pains in the butt - always creating drama for me to sort out but I do regret not having time to be here. There are people I am sure who have enjoyed my absence but I have missed all o... less
