Agreed and it is home to one of the best and smartest people in the media trade, Mollie Hemingway.

The Clinton years I remember well. As a person I did not like him. As an individual who worked with others to get the job done, "balance the budget" and left the Oval Office in somewhat good standings, I liked him. Obama was and never will be good for this country. I felt extremely stagnant for 8 years. He was in over his head and not prepared to run a country. It was auto-pilot as I see it. I believe Obama to be a greater divider than Trump will ever be. I'm not sure by definition Trump is a Republican. But, I don't think he will be the last Republican(can't register as King). Say hello to Ivanka. Time for a woman president many are saying. Why the hell does it need to a woman who registered as a democrat? As for your last paragraph, I concur with your prediction. Not sure about the next American Revolution. However, if you want to start penning a book about it let me know.

Forseeable that the laws protecting whistelblowers would be ignored by the scum around Al Capone, but still saddening. Another piece of law and order being buried in a foggy night. The man did obey his legal obligations and followed the procedures for such cases. But maybe he should feel lucky that he escaped a knife in his back. So far at least.

Amongst the first lessons any staff in the WH is being briefed on, is what a demand to blow the whistle is, and what to do when it applies, and what procedure has to be followed in order to do so, and that this procedure has the full guaranteed protection of the law and law enforcement. Well. Laws are overrated. Lets ignore them. Deeper and deeper into the dirt America slides.

Having been in the military, I've seen my share of members "go outside the chain of command" for redress, and more often than not once the dust settled they were transfer'd off the base either to civilian life or another command. Col. Vindman's treatment is not extraordinary. Odds are he will announce his retirement in the near future. |

So goes another democratic debate. Not one US flag on stage. What group is pushing the divide in this country? Trump? I think not. That started during Obama's tenure. Mr. Autopilot. Nice to see at least one had an issue with a democratic socialist running.

Sincere, or not, the message was one of healing, and unity, and it WAS good. Trump's message was a big middle finger and Bronx cheer. No class, no appeal to Americans' to put differences aside and work together in the aftermath. Just spit, venom, ego, and no more sincere than a snake oil salesman's pitch.

They all should have including, and most importantly, the president. But that is something beyond his shallowness and what will define his presidency, or at least strongly influence his legacy.
Trump has no moral high ground as far as his relationships are concerned, maybe even less.

Nice try, I have two properties close enough already. Yours are subject to a property inspection report as regards to value.
