38. I thought I was out of step.

After seeing this pic and scanning the comments. I'm not out of step. For some time now, I've been thinking that a lot of older politicians need to step aside. Advise, yes, but let those rising stars work their god given talents.

I tired of seeing older white guys espousing some nonsense, to me. I am an older white guy. BUT, I believe in diversity. I'm sad to say I'm older than pRezident dRumpf, he is richer than me. But, he is senseless along with a lot of the GOP politicians. All of them ARE older white guys. To me they basically lack the ability to see changes around them or to sense changes are needed.

Finally, pRezident dRumpf is in bed with the russians. The Congress had to incorporate sanctions in the new Appropriations Bill, without his knowledge.

Why, his business model is beholden to the russians? Why has he has taken no offensive actions against the paruskies? Because they have something on him and he is being blackmailed.
