She said that in 1986. It has yet to happen.<br /><br />My sister and I are Early Boomers, born on either side of 1950. Even if we both make it into our nineties, as our mother did, the damage being done today will affect this country far into the future, perhaps fatally. For once, I'm relieved I'm a geezer. Will we miss Shit vs. Fan? It's a toss-up.Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-89435873594039522652018-06-05T22:17:35.047-05:002018-06-05T22:17:35.047-05:00Senate Republicans are starting to openly oppose T...Senate Republicans are starting to openly oppose Trumps demeanor, if not his policies. Whether it is the gerrymandered or more localized nature of the House, Republican congressmen have shown no willingness to stand up to him. Perhaps they are betting that the 40% Trump base will hold and keep them safe for another election cycle. They could share my feeling that an uneducated, unmotivated electorate will fail to hold Trump accountable for his unprecedented mendacity. The man never makes an argument with facts, only bluster and insults. Ad hominem attacks his preferred weapon when his lies are exposed, yet a substantial number of Americans blindly believe his every word. If the GOP maintains power after the midterms, I fear the damage will not be repaired in the life of this Boomer.

Underneath his face were two words: "KING ME!"<br /><br />I thought it was laugh-out-loud funny then. I'm not laughing now.<br /><br />And I doubt if he'd get the joke. Probably never played a game of checkers in his whole life.
