It took going through four years of hell with Donald Trump to appreciate again a true leader giving the people words of comfort.  As Joni Mitchell once said, you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.

 

 

I agree!  Splitting the GOP in two could only help the Democratic Party going forward.

 

 

And they say the Obamas are ghetto!

I hate to say it but that doesn't even rate as anything close to serious child abuse to me. What can I say? I've gone through some real [!@#$%^&*]. Plus I've seen so much worse happen to other kids. Yeah, it's not good, but that was a fairly typical teenager/mother fight, imo. I couldn't hear everything she said though. Saying "I want you out of here" was over the line I guess.

I'm a little surprised she's like him. I figured she was more apathetic than cruel.  I wasn't surprised she was an awful first lady though. She never wanted to be in public service.  What a wasted opportunity.

 

Does anyone know who will be the next President Pro Temp of the Senate? I can't help but wonder given how insane things are.
