@vivtek And the instant they get a degree, they automatically look down their noses at God-fearing salt-of-the-Earth working folks. Like a law of nature.

Ferocious and brilliant. I really don't know how much #election post-mortems matter at this point. But if you think they do, read this one.

Brid is the wrod.

@DemocracyMattersALot Of course. We're just a bunch of suckers and losers, after all.

I hate that I have to agree with this. But I do.

@BrianJopek I'm not surprised Trump (or one of his writers) is making these demands. But I'm horrified at how quickly and eagerly Senate Republicans are rolling over and showing their bellies for him.

#Reagan took a hard line against #Soviet power. #Trump will surrender to #Russia his first day in office. This is a really bizarre comparison.

I mean okay, it’s a MAGAt, so definitely not sweet, and no child of mine. But you know, poetic license.

Arguing about the #ColdWar with someone who told me I “know nothing about #history.” Oh my sweet summer child …

#Humans change. #Dogs don't. And that's just fine.

#Republicans, of course, will spin this as "#Democrats refuse to cooperate with #Trump's #transition team!" I suppose we could reply that we thought Republicans were against transitioning, but I doubt they'd get it.

@DemocracyMattersALot Republicans, of course, will spin this as "Democrats refuse to cooperate with Trump's transition team!"

Upon careful consideration, I believe it is time for us as a #nation to heal the wounds of our #division and move forward together. Therefore, as a #Democrat, I promise to treat #Trump with exactly the same respect and deference #Republicans showed for #Clinton, #Obama, and #Biden. I invite you to join me in this high-minded effort.

@fatsam That's what I'm hoping for too. But I know it doesn't always work that way.

@fatsam You may well be right. I'm going to keep hoping you're wrong, right up to the point it becomes undeniable. In which case I guess stuff like this will give us something to argue about on the way to the camps.

You know what, I never want to hear my fellow members of #GenerationX complaining about #Boomers ever again.
