I fear he's done that to LOTS of people's attitudes about our country.

I hope Dems do well in November. We need it. And the Donald needs to face the fact that his time is almost up.

Great quote!

“When the powerful are afraid of those who challenge their power, to me, the message is: How did you get your power? When people in power get to the point of ‘I must destroy my detractors’… that’s really the thing that I think is so scary.”
- Lizz Winstead, creator of “The Daily Show”

Oh WAH, donald.

The main reason, and I suspect the ONLY reason, he was trying to destroy all the evidence is because there’s enough in there to send him straight up the proverbial river. And he KNOWS it.

Now, I think it’d be a good idea to make sure there are copies of Absolutely EVERYTHING. Whatever’s still there. So there’s no way he can possibly know how many copies there are and where they hidden.

She ate his lunch, dinner, midnight snack, and all the meals

Jasmine Crocket speaks loudly and forcefully enough for ALL of America. Dayum.

Thank you so much for your contribution to our Memorial Day memories.

It’s just so striking to me. So fascinating how many different experiences went into Memorial Day memories.

I think these stories ought to be shared, and shared widely, and many thanks for those who’ve done so here! Seems to me it’s an important part of our collective story as Americans.

I hope everything goes the way you most want it to.

My dad flew photo-reconnaissance in WW2.

He never did talk about it, except for one observation that left my jaw on the floor. He said what he was proudest of was that, as he put it, “I’ve never raised a gun against my fellow man.”

I was NOT prepared to hear him say those words OR express such a thought. Shit - he’s long gone by now, and I STILL remember that moment. I saw him in a whole new light, as of that moment. Never expected him to be that deep.

It's ABOUT TIME that SOMEBODY says "NO!" to him!

Stinks too bad even for Republicans.

Neither have I.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
