I keep thinking: maybe if we referred to them as Hydra, maybe the election would have come out in our favor. 'Cause who wants to fight against Captain America?

My final Dorothy Parker inspired card:
Are you sure my eyes are bright?
And is it true my cheeks are clear?
Young what's-his-name stayed half the night;
He vows to cut and burn it down for me.
Bring my scarlet slippers and fetch the powder puff to me;
The dear young men think I'm only seventy.

And is it true my cheeks are clear?

He vows to cut and burn it down for me.

Another postcard inspired by the majestic Dorothy Parker:
If, with the illiterate we are stuck,
Those of us who have the pluck,
Must protest lest he run amok.

Wrote my postcards! With apologies to Dorothy Parker:
Every fragile thing shall rust,
(Your ego most of all),
For you are just a silly man
Who fears his own shadow.

Talked with the hubby tonight about those 8th grade essays we had to do on "What will life be like in the 21st century."
His predicted the fall of the USSR.
Young pessimist me predicted that nothing would get better.
I think we both were right, but I didn't have oligarchs take over in it.

So when we remove birthright citizenship can we go by the mother? Because:
Don Jr was born in 1977
Ivanka was born in 1981
Eric was born in 1984
Ivana became a US citizen in 1988.
Barron was born in March 2006
Melania became a US citizen in July 2006.
Trump’s entire family would be deported.

Can someone please tell me how Gladiator II (finally an appropriate use of Roman numerals) can have the son of Maximus?

I've been workshopping signs for the march. So far my family likes:
1) 40 Ft. Woman, Please Phone Home.
2) "There You Go Again..." -R. Reagan
3) Plant Your Recession Garden Now.
4) A meta sign: a photo of my mother holding her sign at the march in 2016. Her sign: Now You've Pissed Off Grandma.

Dilemma: My mother loves to watch MSNBC in the evening.
I get a headache from the all latest crazy Michelle and friends relay to us.
Short of drinking bourbon every night, how can I split the baby in a small house?
