Yes, he just might. Either way, dupe or dope, it's how the rest of the country reacts to him that gets my goat. He wants more than anything to be the Celebrity-in-Chief and it grinds me that he's getting his way.</p> <p>Glad you're warming up up there. I'm just a tiny bit ashamed to admit I'm one of those wimpy snowbirds who leaves for the winter. We're in the south--rebel territory--but I try to stay away from that bunch and hang around with yankees who  know better. Lol.</p> <p>Yesterday was quite a day for scandals, huh? I'm not sure how much more of this the Trumpians can take before they're finally swept under and out. Spring would be a good time for some heavy-duty House cleaning.</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 28 Feb 2018 17:59:06 +0000 Ramona comment 249338 at http://dagblog.com Hi Ramona. http://dagblog.com/comment/249277#comment-249277 <a id="comment-249277"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/while-trump-stealing-show-his-cronies-are-stealing-us-blind-24573">While Trump is Stealing the Show his Cronies are Stealing us Blind</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Hi Ramona.</p> <p>There ya are again; I forget about Crooks &amp; Liars!</p> <p>And yet, our Prez is a crook and a liar; among other things. hahahahaah</p> <p>You have to admit though Ramona; after all these decades; I mean to see repubs erase a line in their</p> <p>thingy so that Russians do not get mad?
