Thinking of David Garrett. We went through basic together at PI, Camy Lejeune and Pendleton with orders to VN In 1967. On our way to CA David loved to say he got me a role in the new Tarzan movie, the punchline being, “they’re looking to replace Cheeta.” Only your friends made jokes like that. RIP

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

Remember when the GOP was so outraged by their own delusion that Obama was making himself a king that they started the "Tea Party" which eventually morbed into MAGA?
Between then & now they've moved from

Does he honestly think that DC went from the world's most dangerous city to the safest in a week because he took over and sent some soldiers?
He's delusional but also lies constantly about literally everything, plus he's always bragging, so it's hard to tell. And he doesn't really care what's true.
