I keep thinking of this saying my Grandpa used.

"When you are up to your ass in alligators, it is difficult to remind yourself that your main objective is to drain the swamp". I bet a lot of Republicans are feeling like that today.

I don't recall exactly how it went but it was something about something called a wet dream.

Nothing worse than waking up from what you thought was a wet dream and realizing you pissed the bed.

I keep thinking if my mother were alive she’d describe trump as “he’s not right in the head.” These old saying sum things up well.
