They have both exercised their right of free speech (with the possible exception of talking about blowing up the White House which may get Madonna a courtesy call from the Secret Service) and I have exercised mine.Gary Fousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014739065121483409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-58591244814553849032017-01-27T09:27:06.702-08:002017-01-27T09:27:06.702-08:00The loyal opposition is people like me, you might ...The loyal opposition is people like me, you might call us the silent majority, those who are not in the least thrilled to have an ignorant narcissist as our president, but respect an orderly transfer according to prescribed electoral process, and are prepared to raise our voices when and as we can effectively curtail the amount of damage Trump can do from the oval office.Siarlys Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083839117838391267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-55602229771043548732017-01-26T08:39:47.975-08:002017-01-26T08:39:47.975-08:00Are you making excuses?

My biggest concern is international diplomacy. He's going to need to work with our allies.Gary Fousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014739065121483409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-59324506101124457.post-76823243821576900682017-01-26T08:05:57.018-08:002017-01-26T08:05:57.018-08:00The loyal opposition is sitting this one out for n...The loyal opposition is sitting this one out for now. A competent strategist bides their time until a real opportunity arises. Remember what happened to those who said Abraham Lincoln was "No my president"? That didn't work out so well -- and if they'd quietly waited a couple of years they might have done much better for themselves. In that instance, "Those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad," and I'm rather glad they were foolish. Slavery would not have been abolished otherwise, Cf. Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address.<br /><br />What you're seeing here is vapid street theater. Its not surprising that so many Hollywood types are involved. I might add though that Trump is acting, in office, in quite as deranged a manner as might have been expected from the way he campaigned.Siarlys Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083839117838391267noreply@blogger.com
