The words of the distinguished political elder Alcee Hastings still ring in my ear

about Bernie Sanders:

“I’m too old for pie-in-the-sky.”

I heard that comment from him about Bernie during the 2016 and it stuck in my mind with industrial-strength epoxy.

I, too, am too old for pie-in-the-sky, Congressman Hastings.

Ted Lieu speaks for me!

I’m fed up with the deliberate, even prideful, stupidity of those who still worship trump.

Lost patience with ‘em.

Lost compassion for them.

Lost the inclination to try to understand them.

At this point all I’ve got is two words: fuck ‘em! THEY deserve him. I don’t. Neither does the majority of reality-based, truth-loving, fact-friendly, clear-eyed Americans.

Dan Rather nails it again.

And he’s right, again.

This! Post of the Week!

This week in particular. And probably next week and the week after.

America, aren’t you getting tired of being LIED TO?

I hope it does.

Big, deep, and permanent.

Pence, go be a televangelist. Then you can shove your religion in other people’s faces and make a shitload of money off the marks who’ll tune in every week.

I could see many of the Democratic candidates in a Cabinet.

They all have expertise and experience we can use - and from which America would benefit.

There’s an ungodly amount of wreckage to fix and/or clear away.

Sounds intriguing to me.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
