Limit the largest dimension to 6.5 inches.

Opposite of that ā€¦ it needs be a jpg ----

Heā€™s setting himself up to primary Trump in 2020, so donā€™t look for any radical departures from Republican orthodoxy. Remember, the most ā€œmaverickā€ ā€œloose cannonā€ ā€œwild cardā€ ā€œindependentā€ Republican still votes with Trump 95% of the time.

Yep. An ā€œair of discipline.ā€ No real discipline, but the air is there. And the air around the White House these days stinks.

eta, tiowally got there first. (I had a very wise, like you, uncle. But his name wasnā€™t Wally.)

Agreed. Now that he does not have to suck up to the party line, presumably (fingers crossed) he will vote for the American people, and betterment thereof, rather than all the BS division along party lines we have seen exponentially.

I donā€™t know what is coming, but with Triump who is unwilling to take responsibility for his actions, a GOP who desperately wants to push thru ways to pack the pockets of their wealthy donors, aka masters, and a GOP murder of voters that are obedient zombiesā€¦ the only thing Iā€™m pretty sure ofā€¦

It will only get worse.

Perhaps. But I think this song pretty well describes those hopes. :slightly_smiling_face:

Interesting, but I hope you didnā€™t have to slog through all those tweets yourself to pass this on.

No, I didnā€™t and wouldnā€™t make that slog through that particular swamp. A columnist at NYT did that work, I just absorbed it. Yuck.

Itā€™s disgusting for someone who is president to not be able to say a kind or complimentary word about anyone around him whoā€™s not named trumpp. The words I cited are not the only criticisms heā€™s uttered. ā€œOverratedā€ is another one, and always applied to someone whoā€™s stellar in his or her field, e.g. Meryl Streep and ā€œfailingā€ is in his top ten list usually applied to newspapers and magazines which criticize him, NYT, WaPo and Vanity Fair for exampleā€¦

Iā€™m no shrink, but Iā€™m going out on a limb to say that he has little self esteem doesnā€™t really like himself, and so has created this persona which comes off as confident, aggressive, all knowing (ā€œI know more than the generalsā€), has no regrets, but inside heā€™s a quivering mass of Jell-O who thinks weā€™ll believe the false front he displays.
