I feel the same way about getting older.

It gives me a perspective and a longer view - the kind you don’t have unless you’ve got several decades of adulthood under your belt.

I agree, but would add Inslee because he's the climate crisis candidate.

But the other three have a far better chance and I’d be glad to support them as well.

Yes! Ron Wyden rocks!

All of the above: fine with me!

I learned from the Watergate era with all those vile Nixon felons and scumbags and soon-to-be apologists for their scrum and crime and corruption rightfully going to prison, doing time, writing books and going on the speakers’ circuits that you “don’t buy books by crooks”.

You might say it’s another form of good-parenting: you DON’T reward OR reinforce bad behavior. I won’t give antagonistic or oppositional entities my money, my viewership, my subscriptions, my attendance, my vote, or ANY imaginable ways or means of my involvement or participation or support.

Not EVER.

I have a friend like that.

Sigh... I love her like the sister I never had. But she turned to the Dark Side years ago, and refuses to climb back out of it.

Makes me so sad, sometimes. I’m still trying to reach her and pull her away from that. Failing utterly, so far.

Sounds like virtue rewarded, to me.

If I were a local, I’d be happy to eat there.

Vote with your voice/Vote with your pocketbook.

YES!!! Lock 'em Up!

Lock Them ALL Up. Starting right at the top.

We're the lucky ones!

The African-American prison population in America is disproportionately high.

Long may she live to regret this. Both that established fact, and her deliberate fraud that brought her to this conclusion. I’d bet nobody held a gun to her head and forced her to cheat like that.

You walked your own little self right into this one, girlie.

But denial can run awfully deep.

“Ain’t just a river in Egypt” as the ol’ cliche says.

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.
