That lunch today was more support for the military than 45 has ever shown in his entire life.

I’ll try not to think of how depressing their conversations in private are given the current situation in the country.

...which could be an earring but on closer exam turns out to be a trick of the light. No arms or hands in view to add to the picture. It was not the hair per se.

We form first impressions out of a lot of things.

Could be anybody.

I think that the description of who the outfit is helping added to my flash-assessment: disabled vets and spouses etc. Vets disabled or otherwise can be male or female (just ask Senator Tammy Duckworth), but most spouses are female.

I'm totally prepared to be wrong and don't really care, but having been challenged, I analyzed how I came to that snap judgement.

Tue Jul 31, 2018, 09:51 AM
Jul 2018

and how far we've fallen since then.

If anyone is wondering, "They ordered ham and gruyère sandwiches. Obama got a side salad, and Biden got a slice of mint basil blueberry cake." No pie this time but everything else sounds good and I'm really curious about that cake. Yum!

Contrast this to Trump's fast food and well done steaks with ketchup.
