  1. As I mentioned in a previous reply to you, I am old. I was a senior in college when Kent State happened and I have also worried about our entering a new, lethal aspect of the Trump regime and I also wonder what it will take for the Rs to stop him, b/c ONLY they can do it before it gets to that.

  5. Bill M. was a smart guy. I would never have thought of it in that way, but my (deceased super right wing) father-in-law never stopped decrying FDR despite his having lived thru the depression and benefitted from union protection. He had "his", let others be damned...

  6. OK, I spend WAY too much time thinking of all of this, but this dipshit betrays his childhood "traumas" in all that he does/says. His hatred (fear) of brown people and hippies is clearly rooted in his growing up here in Santa Monica, CA. www.politico.com/magazine/sto...
