Hey Snow, I just turned 69. Just one good year remaining I guess? After that, it's the Reaper's game. He always wins in overtime.

EDITOR: The collapse of the Roman Empire didn't begin with Caligula. And the same can be said about the American Republic.
It didn't begin with Donald Trump. It began a long time ago with the Vietnam War and the massacre of 3.5 million Vietnamese. There was Watergate and the impeachment of Richard Nixon; Ronald Reagan selling missiles to Iran and using the cash to arm the Contras; George W. Bush and Dick Cheney's invasion of Iraq and thus the enrichment of Halliburton; the tea party and Sarah Palin; and finally the stonewalling of the appointment of a moderate U.S. Supreme Court justice.
Yes, Trump has been a long time coming. He is the culmination of all this, and his rule will be brutal and unsparing. Yes, and as an afterthought, there is the nuclear button. One of his usual tantrums, and sayonara.

I bet that "crazy old man" $20 that Trump would lose. Sheridan told me I was making "a stupid bet". I thought I was going to fleece a doom and gloom leftie who didn't understand or chose to ignore the most recent demographics and polls. I paid him in person with ten two dollar bills. Those blue eyes were sparkling as he took the bills. It wasn't the money, he actually told me I could keep it (I didn't). It was a sage chuckling at my naivete. The money was a tribute, a bow to the superior analyst.
