Key words- well spoken.
This was a good presentation and nothing more. Nothing to see here. Reminds me of the Republicans attack on Obama.

Something is eating at him from the inside out. I think the man lives in fear.

He is so pathetic I almost feel sorry for him. I said almost.

The man has aged profoundly in the last year. Maybe this is what happens when you sell your soul to the devil. I also think Mitch McConnell has aged terribly over the last year. I caught a vid of McConnell walking into the Senate Chamber. He looks hunched, almost as if his spine is curving. And surprisingly frail.

Trump is not good for anyone's health!

but then he's 77.

Graham's only 5 years older than Schiff, but that pic makes it looks like a bigger age difference.

One would think a person who had a serious childhood disease and survived it would have more understanding toward people who have pre-existing conditions and are unable to get health insurance.

Prediction, Mitch will retire before November. He said he almost retired before the last one.

There's no medicine in the world that will reverse or even tame the symptoms. A physical manifestation of what trump has done to the republican party...hallowed it out from the inside.

Lindsey's idea of a workout is a round of golf with Trump. Which requires giving up a portion of his decency each round. It's definitely an aging regime. I don't think we'll be seeing it on any of the popular workout apps anytime soon considering the obvious results.
