#86 - That dog don't hunt. The one thing Democrats do is get rid of the questionable ones, unlike the Republicans. Menendez being the latest example. I had nothing kind to say about him. No one chastised me for what I said about him, either. I don't recall anyone chastising me over Anthony Weiner. I do think Al Franken got a raw deal by the Democrats, though. Bad taste, frat boy stupid stuff.
Oh, this is kind of informative. I was trying to think of other Democrats and I googled political scandals and got this:

Now I know why the Republicans are always getting threads about them! Sheesh! How the heck did they ever get the reputation of being the party of law and order? Trump's just another criminal in a long, long line of 'em.

Donald seemed engaged, especially when several people in our group spoke about the heart-wrenching and expensive efforts they'd made to care for their profoundly disabled family members, who were constantly in and out of the hospital and living with complex arrays of challenges..And it gets worse. This is heart wrenching stuff. I do not understand how any truly sentient being can support or vote for Donald Trump. Those two things are incongruous.
After I left the office, I was standing with the others near the side entrance to the West Wing when Donald's assistant caught up with me. "Your uncle would like to see you," she said...
He (Donald Trump) sounded interested and even concerned. I thought he had been touched by what the doctor and advocates in the meeting had just shared about their journey with their patients and their own family members. But I was wrong.
"Those people . . . " Donald said, trailing off. "The shape they're in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die."
If fmr Pres Trump truly wants to return to the 1950's and bring more wealth to the middle class, then his goal of tax cuts for the uber-wealthy just will not cut it.
Does that mean tax rates for the high income earners of 84.357% again?
Or maybe the early '60's when it was 91%
Oh! And there's this:

BTW - did you all hear the GOP "leaders" are frantic telling all their underlings to stop insulting Kamala Harris for being a woman? What's it say when you have to tell your party to stop being openly misogynist? I'm surprised there are leaders that get it!
#160 - no comment necessary, but boy howdy, they sure aren't hiding, are they? Interesting. Her district cuts out every major city in that area. It's alll rural NY. I wonder if they are they happy with the representation they have? Yuck.
