Just sayin'....


My daughter is 29.  If my brother (to try to replicate this story in my life and family), whom I love dearly and have a close relationship with, were to make a comment like this about his niece, I'd be hard pressed to restrain my first impluse, which would be to slap his teeth out.

And more appropriate to the matters at hand:

Gonna take us a long time to realize we got played, and played ourselves, in letting this monster into the Oval Office.  He shouldn't have the security clearance to get in the building on a public tour.  But we can't attribute it to his "genius" or the "genius" of some puppet master.  We did this to ourselves.  We are the people on Maple Street, jumping at lights going on and off, fearing strangers who are friends from the next block over.  Maybe we were manipulated, but we let ourselves be manipulated.  The mark is as much at fault as the conman.
