31. Sad but true

And now here SHE IS - presenting herself as a "progressive". Un-huh. If we get fooled a second time, it's truly our fault for all the shit we'll suffer for four years (or until impeachment). There's SO MANY things she's plucked from Bernie's agenda so far - ALL of which will succumb to amnesia the moment she takes the oath!

I hadn't thought about it until just now, but ol' McConnell's gotta be hopin' he gets to work with Hillary rather than Dump.
