You know what else I miss?

There used to be formal dinners when dignitaries came and everyone put on the dog. And wonderful tributes to notable performers where the Hollywood elete came all dressed up and the Obamas were there. All kinds of special fun affairs of State.

It's all gone partly because no one wants any part of Trump because he is such a pig and partly because Trump can't handle anything with any dignity.

Class, style, warmth, and happiness, it’s all gone from the WH now. Hopefully just temporarily.

boycotted it. Another reason the word "bipartisanship" is a make-believe, made-up word that sounds good but doesn't exist in reality - maybe our reality, but not in DC reality.
