Maybe they remember it so well that they’re willing to be decent to the Trumps. After all he’ll be gone in a year and a half.

How I miss the normalcy and grace our last POTUS.

It will be nice when the next POTUS is not on the news hourly for being a dumb@$$.

Vote Dem 2020!

I have wondered around the net looking for a close up of the Queen's brooch for the "wasted days and wasted nights" of the ruler's visit. No luck yet...found a reference in his 2018 visit. (Did the dump time his visit to crow and show off for his zoo keeper, Vlad the Impaler.

Was the Queen sending coded messages to Donald Trump via her brooches? Absolutely
On the first day of his visit, she wore a brooch given to her as a mark of friendship by the Obamas. By the end of the trip, it was Queen’s brooches 3, Trump 0

President Obama could charm anyone who was not gop. How did we go from all that class to the trash we have now? In such a short time,. too.

Seriously, I was fully prepared to be disgusted. Then I was pleasantly surprised. Then I got sad. I sure do miss him. We got eight years of what came as close to carefree and secure as I've ever felt. Hey, now I'm smiling.

Damn, you. See what you've done to me?

POTUS and 'charm' seems an unlikely combination in our current Trump-topia.

Sigh.

I long for those days when O was in the White House and things were under control.

I'm so glad DUers post his image to remind us that we had such a smart and charming man as a leader once upon a time, even if it is a trick

A true gentleman, he is.

Conversely, the dotard looked like he had ten corncobs stuck up his ass today and the Queen looked as if she had been pistol whipped by Putin.

Thanks for that very uplifting PIX, Madamesilverspurs.......
