1. Mom always said "A haughty attitude is always headed for a big fall."

And dad would usually follow up with, "Yup & the bigger they are, the harder they fall."

Did they not expect to get their asses (no offense to donkeys or mules intended) trounced?

I highly doubt they will learn anything from this. Their behavior is so far beyond the pale, it boggles my mind!

The way polling places were innundated with armed magats intimidating voters sickens me!

Unfathomable!

They HAVE TO be right. Just GOTTA!

Nobody wants to admit they were wrong, much less that they’ve been HAD.
