Happy New Year, Infidel753. Looking forward to more of your insightful posts in 2019. Also, many indictments for Trump!
Your troll post was excellent. Immediate deletion of any and all comments is how I deal with them too. No discussion, no debate, just delete.
Shaw: Thanks! Hopefully this year will bring the last post I ever need to write about Trump -- one about his impeachment.
Debra: Glad to hear it. I've seen what happens where trolls are indulged. The comment threads end up looking like a dog park where there are no pooper-scoopers.
Happy 2019! I always enjoy your posts. Looking forward to all that you have to share this coming year!
I'm glad I found your blog this past year. You're very entertaining. Happy New Year.
Thank you both! That's praise worthy of trying to live up to. :-)
A Happy and Prosperous New Year to ya Infidel753!
I actually am more inclined to want tRump to survive through 2020 so we can relish his sorry was getting crushed at the polls. Besides, it is very unlikely the gutless Republican controlled Senate would convict tRump even if the House impeaches.
Rational: And likewise to you!
But as for Trump -- sorry, but I want him out of office as soon as possible. I remain haunted by what could happen as long as he remains in power. The lives of those millions are more important than American domestic political considerations.
