My button is bigger than your button! What a statesman, diplomacy at it’s best. Move over Lincoln, Roosevelt, Churchill and Kennedy. The moron has spoken.
As everyone wonders why our wages have remained stagnant, might I suggest it is due to rising healthcare costs. Health care gets a 7-to-8 percent raise every year. How can our employers give us a raise when all allocated money goes towards employer funded health care increases?

What kind of wimps are we becoming and raising, where schools are closing and people are afraid to go out of their house because of the cold weather. Why when I was a kid, back in the 50s, we cavorted all day out in the cold and we are still here now, with no regrets.

Always remember, someone’s effort is a reflection of their interest in you.
Why the sudden exodus of Republican lawmakers? Are they hoping to avoid the Russia investigation?
When your most cherished thing in life is a mirror, and the voice in your head is the only thing that you listen to, then everybody and everything must revolve around you.
For Trump, a year of reinventing the presidency. And for the nation, a new kind of civil war: Ignorance vs. Rationality.
The Republican idea of “greatness” isn’t nearly good enough. America deserves better.
