My WWII veteran great-uncle said that he would never live to see it, but that there would be another H-tl-r. And that he would be American. He was right on all three counts. I miss the man every day, but I'm glad he didn't live to see the 21st century.
On this the anniversary of the Night of the Long Knives, it's important to recognize what is happening here. It isn't hyperbole when it's accurate.

Real question here.
As an adult, which haunts you more?
* The times people told you that you couldn't accomplish anything (and didn't); or
* The times people said you were special and could do anything, but you weren't, and you couldn't?

On the other hand, Trump's nominees do seem capable across the board to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. That's not really a step up from any previous administration, but in this one area only, they haven't lowered the standards. Yet.

An interesting, poignant thing about engaging in a new social media platform (at least for me) is thinking of the people I used to talk with at earlier stages of the public Internet.
I've been online since 1992-93 if you don't count dial-up bulletin boards. So, I've seen things come and go.
