But since I've quit visiting my barber and its getting quite long, I've taken to brushing it straight back. The result is something like a white-haired, Fu Manchu mustachioed Christopher Walken. Or as my wife describes it, an aging Moe of the Three Stooges. Hopefully, it will eventually get long enough for a pony tail. But I swear, I'm not going for a man-bun.

This a President that tried to blackmail a foreign leader into smearing a political rival, and every Republican Senator tacitly went along with it. Do you think that's going to even raise an eyebrow with this crowd? Cheating on your taxes is what these people do. They have total contempt for anyone who doesn't. We're screwed unless we win this election, and even that is no guarantee we will be rid of this malignant narcissistic sociopath. This is not a Trump problem, its a Republican problem. Unless the GOP takes steps to remove him, we are stuck with him. And I wouldn't hold my breath about that bunch suddenly getting their conscience, or their balls, back. America wanted a businessman President. Well, we got one. And he's turning out exactly how we expected. And nothing is going to come from any of it.
