Nah
Me neither.
All I remember is a president with intelligence and grace and sense of hope for the future.

(16,646 posts)I've often mentioned to my GOP colleagues, that regardless of what they thought of his policies, we managed to get through 8 years of his administration with no scandals or special counsels. The kids didn't show up on police blotters either. You can go back SEVERAL administrations on both sides of the aisle and not find that.

None of Obama's staff, family or friends had any dirt to dish.
And would not flip against Obama.
That is the kind of loyalty Trump wishes he had.

(4,429 posts)True loyalty comes when you are a loyal friend.
Trump has no idea how that works, because he has never been a friend or truly loyal.
Okay, back out to shovel (4th time). Do you think my loyal and friendly 15 year old will get the message and help me??

OMG you have been out four times already today to shovel?

(4,429 posts)I think we've had about a foot of snow. I just yelled at my daughter upstairs ('you've heard me out there all day, aren't you going to help?'
She said: "Oh."
That is not encouraging.
It's going to keep snowing here until 8pm. Honestly, I don't know where to put the snow anymore. There's just no more room.
Irish_Dem
(47,124 posts)The trucks come by and pick up the snow and deposit it somewhere?
Your daughter should help you before you keel over.
And end up in a snow drift.
They won't find you until spring.

(4,429 posts)I'm on a main street, so I can't push it out to the road. I can't line the driveway anymore. I do have a big backyard but my wall of snow is pretty big by now and I can't really get beyond it. Nothing here has melted at all (we haven't been above 22 degrees in weeks).
As for my lovely daughter......I'm just about ready to pull the internet from the wall.

(47,124 posts)The city trucks pick up snow from in front of people's houses and take it to the snow farms.
These are vacant lots or football fields, etc.
I thought the cousins were joking at first, but it is a real thing.
Yep, about time to pull the plug on little miss.
Reminds me of my daughter.

VOX
(22,976 posts)Was up to something.
"Trampling on the Constitution," played big for awhile, as did, "he needs to LEAD." And in a fantastic show of red-blooded nationalism, South Carolina Republican Representative Joe Wilson gained a measure of infamy by shouting You lie! at President Obama during a joint session of Congress in 2009.

(24,414 posts)nobody could exactly articulate how President Obama was being a tyrant other than him signing an occasional Executive Order or make a Recess Appointment (which used to be an accepted practice/power of POTUS), primarily to sidestep a severely obstructionist (Republican) Congress (and Trump has signed several, most of which have been blocked in the Courts).
