What kind of buffoon would tweet such a challenge and expect any reaction other than the one it provoked.It was clear, even before the election, that this man was incapable of fulfilling the duties of president but I really didn't expect him to go into free fall this quickly.

They could auction off the cell suites to the highest bidders. That would be fun to watch on TV wouldn't it? Why didn't they think of that? Or have they?

That at "death" our consciousness simply transcends to an alternative universe. Okay. So if true how do we explain aging? Is that illusory too?

After all who elected him? The Donald wannabes. The Ugly American. The Greedy American. The Selfish American.

I forget what they were playing but once they were all on the track the broke into a few bars from The British Grenadiers. It was their way of saying, "This is who we are." It was powerful!
