I actually do believe there are some unenviable commonalities btwn Reagan & Trump. I just don’t accept the premise of political causality implied in “Reagan led to Trump.” There were 16 years of Democratic Presidents btwn Reagan and Trump 1, 20 before Trump 2. Our collective pathologies run deeper.
Unless they're corn meal muffins. (I make a mean blueberry cornbread muffin.)
I was there in 84 and 87, first time on my honeymoon (long story—wife was doing Russian art history) and second with the USIA. We should have a drink and share stories sometime.
If Al Franken was made to resign because of some puerile humor then this guy needs to go. Sorry, I liked him, but he's done.
I had to pass a test – admittedly not a terribly hard one – in four languages: Greek Latin, German and French. One of my publications, a papyrus I edited, required at least a working knowledge of Greek Latin, German, French and Italian. Oh, and English.
Please, let's stop calling it the Trump Presidential Ballroom and just say "Epstein Ballroom" from now on.

As a New York ex-pat, I can tell you that yes, I voted in off year local elections back then (Mayors are elected in odd years). Also, TODAY I VOTED IN GEORGIA FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION! Get with it, people.
Imagine going to No Kings and still catching UGA beating Ol Miss.
Wow indeed. Stories I could tell . . .
Remind me sometime to tell my visit-to-the-Hermitage-and-Scythian-gold-in-1984 story.
I know all about Greek history. I saw "300."
When you go ON AIR to complain about a protest BEFORE IT EVEN HAPPENS, you are panicking.
Maybe more something along this line:

How do I post this on FB? Seriously.
If you're there to root for the Blue Jays, I hate you.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.
"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."
