Holy shiitake mushrooms (cleaned it up just for you) Susan, welcome back. Nice to see you've pulled no punches and made your position perfectly clear. No surprise there, you were always pretty blunt. While we haven't always agreed, i always knew where you stood. I've always applauded people/writers who say what they mean and mean what they say.

Sadly, that commodity is sorely lacking in the new gop (no caps intended). The numbers of wafflers and butt-sniffers are almost beyond comprehension and one day they will face their day of reckoning. From the immortal words we heard uttered by Russel Crowe in the Gladiator; "In this life, or the next."

Given much of your etchings over the years has come from Scripture (way beyond my capacity), i went searching because i recalled the one i thought would fit: "Vengeance is mine saith the Lord." Of course what i found was the missing piece of that: "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

I won't post the rest of the verse, as you now better than me, it tells us to leave it to God. I'm good with that. Your point is still in play; trump doesn't deserve our vote. Whether you want to feed and cloth him (by sending him gobs of cash) i guess arguable. In my mind, not a penny, not ever. Rubes falling for the con are their own (and our) worst enemy.

Good to see you back and with a little/lot of fire in your belly. Should be interesting to see/read the trump supporters and how they welcome you.

I'm a no-hate geriatric. I do not hate you. I do not hate Donald Trump. But, to quote Joe Biden, you are a one-horse pony. That gets old. If critics such as you could have found a way to promote reasonably good alternatives, we would not be faced with our current dilemma - two undesirable candidates for POTUS.
