Pretty much.

But there are always new marks to be toyed with, lied to, taken advantage of, and fooled.

P. T. Barnum would be impressed. There really are new suckers born every minute. And opportunistic CON artists all too ready and willing to exploit them. We’ve seen this again and again, down through history. trump is only the latest and the biggest.

Excellent! There ARE things that can be done!

It’s NOT true that there’s nothing we can do.

We are NOT out of options.

And we certainly don’t need to feel hopeless.

I hope you're right.

Adam Schiff is a great blessing to us all. Such poise and command he showed as the Intel Committee Chairman. Real leadership. Calm and steady. I could see him as Attorney General in the next Democratic administration.

Congratulations, and may he stay safe.

A huge day in his young life. Please thank him for his selfless service to his country.

But don't forget - if a gun had been the weapon of choice, the wounded would be dead.

Thank goodness it wasn’t a gun. There would have been much more needless carnage.

Thank you, Chairman Schiff!

Another reason to feel grateful over Thanksgiving weekend.

That's a damn shame.

I was driving home through the BEAUTIFUL Columbia Gorge on the day she announced. I was listening to her speech. I felt so proud and uplifted that I got choked up.

They've been trying to sell that "trickle down" shit since reagan.

Cut taxes and the rich will benefit and that benefit will trickle right on down to little ol’ you and you, too, will prosper.

And it’s still being sold now. And it didn’t work as reagan promised, and it isn’t working now, either. But the CONS will CON.

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.
