4. Now now EarlG. You know he doesn't like unflattering pictures of himself.

Of course it's kind of hard to find one that is flattering.

5. Hope, like the Dove, has flown away.

6. A thank you to EarlG

It has been fun getting these for the last years. I don't know if your job will be easier or harder during the next 4 years. I do know you will have so much to choose from you will have to make some hard editorial choices. I just hope I can keep my sanity.


Peace

9. am so scared

of what's coming down the pike for us. These people are evil-not just Trump, he's naïve and ignorant, but those in Congress like Ryan, McConnell and Pence are wolves in sheep clothing. Now they own us. If Trump tries to intervene they will just impeach him.

Dark days -

10. Hope was Never Enough & Never Will Be. Democracy Cannot survive on Hope

Cannot Survive on Slogans. Cannot Survive on Soundbites. Cannot Survive on Emotional Appeal. Cannot survive on Dramatics and Mass Rallies. Cannot Survive on Following Charismatic Leaders, Cannot Survive on Followship.

Democracy is a form of government that requires reason, logic, thinking, and that old favorite eternal vigilance.

Rah Rah Rah is fine but it can never be enough. It just leaves us open to the conman, always waiting in the wings eager to step out on the stage and work his show, just as this Trump character was waiting in the wings getting his lines read to him in Russian.

Obama is a fine person, a great person; Trump is the opposite.

From 1789 we had an element of luck to see us through. In 2016 our luck ran out. I don't want to depend on luck anymore.

11. Let's see

Rescues America from the financial crisis - done.
Saves the auto industry - done.
Passes health care reform - done.
Brings the troops home from Iraq - mostly done.
Eliminates Osama bin Laden - done.

12. I wish I could laugh.

[Cracklin Charlie]

14. I think my husband is worried about me, because I can't laugh about it, either.

I laugh about plenty of other stuff...but, I really can't find anything funny about this.

13. Nailed It!
