As the outline of what happened in 2016 comes into focus and what continues to happen now regarding our elections, I get a little annoyed with people that say I am just a Trump hater and that has clouded what I think. I didn’t like W. I wasn’t fond of Reagan. And Poppy Bush was […]
The phrase “Trust but verify” was appropriate in 1987 warned Ronald Reagan after the signing of the INF Treaty with Mikhail Gorbachev …. today, the new phrase is “Never trust Trump, Always verify” … and that needs to apply to his sycophants also.
