"Obama is what we aspire to. Trump is who we are." D. L. Hughley...

Probably not a new comment, but just heard it on last week's Bill Maher show.

Got a huge ovation.

4. They say they aspire to Pres Obama, but when it came time to bring in his chosen

Candidate to continue on his Presidential agenda, many of them followed the shiny object off the path Obama had set in motion for this Nation.

Chumps.

6. My dear depressed friends: that is what the Trumpists want us to believe,& indeed we are in deep...

...shit. This country is not entirely what we hoped or imagined.

BUT: this nation elected both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and it took an almighty act of treason to keep her out of the White House. This is not a majority-Trumpist nation. Remember that.

We are in the deepest trouble of our national existence, I would argue worse than WWII, because led by a traitor who is enabled by a Party who refuse to acknowledge that we are at war with a foreign power. They hasten to undo and redefine our Constitutional freedoms and that of "the strangers in our midst."

But we are also a nation resisting evil. Every time a federal judge says "No" to a Trump edict, that is resistance. Every time we hold a protest, every time we write to our Senators and Congressmen, that is resistance. Every time a newspaper stands up for the First Amendment, that is resistance. Every time the pundits and journalists on cable speak out, that is resistance. Every time someone records horrible words and video in their cellphone -- that, too, is resistance.

I don't know where this ends, and I feel the stain and stench will stay with us a long time. But I try to remind myself -- we are not Trump Nation. Not yet, and gods willing, not ever.

Just sayin'

7. Sounds like Anthony Hopkins in *Nixon* talking to the JFK portrait...

...right before his resignation, he looks at the JFK portrait and says, "you're who they want to be...but I'm who they are."

8. On point
