Please forgive me while I chuckle, for you ask a question many believe should have been answered a long time ago... like before the election!

; )

Indeed. 45 and his people have been busy. Nunes has fallen on his sword for both 45 and Paul Ryan; and though Flynn has already fallen on his, they are taking no chances... someone, it seems, has been thrown under the bus.

That-was-hilarious! Thank you!

Why, thank you!

Thank you! That article referenced above came out at midnight last night. I thought for sure others would have referenced it, or at least addressed the content first thing. But, I have yet to hear anyone, or come across another article that spells out exactly how far 45, and the GOP are willing to go to pass this…

You read my mind, I was looking for this to share. It is un-fucking-believable. What-is-wrong with these people...

With 45, I am often reminded of the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, “Samaritan Snare,” when the Enterprise responds to a distress call from the Pakleds. Their introduction goes something like this:

Correction for my own peace of mind... the meeting I was referring to was with the Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, not the Chinese... they came later.

Here, here!

The Affordable Care Act is not perfect, they knew that from the get go. Following an expected failed attempt at a single-payer system, it was a best case scenario given what they had to work with, a template for which improvements were expected to be made. If the GOP was not so hell-bent on repeal and replace, they…

Yep... seriously. W-T-F. Though we all knew it was coming. It was only a matter of time. Perhaps the question should be, “What took them so long?”

I am inclined to believe it was always part of the plan, but they were just waiting a bit due to the blow-back they received from her, and her husband’s attendance at the first meeting of record with the Chinese at The Tower. But, with the release of his lackluster approval ratings; the healthcare, and budget, fiasco;…

Who needs “like a deer in the headlights” when you have “like a vampire exposed to the sun!”

Agreed.

Thank you!

I concur, on all counts. I might even suggest he fight this in court. An infinite number of songs are based on a similar template/ format. If you are going to reach for credit-worthy similarities here, why stop there...

I see your point, however, I am more inclined to believe that it was more a spontaneous act wherein he simply didn’t put that much thought into the historical context of the decided upon pose, and taking a knee seemed like a simple, commonly profound and humble gesture; and/or, maybe they intentionally chose not to…

Awesome... you learn something new, thank you!

I respectfully disagree with your “golden calf” theory. No one would bring on that level of backlash, for a well-meaning, unfortunately misunderstood protest; and, back it up off the field as well, as a means to make up for lack of playing ability. I believe he experienced a personal awakening of sorts; and, that as a…
