Some say the Republican Party is dying.
And Trump has it gasping for breath.
It cannot believe what its base now is buying.
Like taking political meth.
And now in a panic, it’s wherefore-and-whying,
While Democrats wait for its death.
I'm Jerry Partacz, happily married to my wife Julie for over 40 years. I have four children and eleven grandchildren. I'm enjoying retirement after 38 years of teaching. I now have an opportunity to share my thoughts on many things. I'm an incurable optimist. I also love to solve crossword puzzles and to write light verse. I love to read, to garden, to play the piano, to collect stamps and coins, and to watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

Article (reported elsewhere, but Hollywood Reporter is the primary source) where a Simpsons writer noted that a 2000 episode with Trump as President : "And that just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom. It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane." (emphasis didn't need to be added).
In the meantime, I said on Berkowitz that I didn't care if the national Republican party self destructs, and 4zen said it was his goal, so I guess all 3 of us are happy.
And unless the Senate jerks act on the nomination of the nice guy from Linconlnwood, either President Hillary or President Lisa will appoint the next Supreme Court Justice.
Prophetic. I wonder what Alan Simpson's reaction is.
Don't know, but there was "all that Simpson DNA" in the "Who Shot Mr. Burns" episode. Also, I don't think Monty's political organization backs the current plutocrat.
One problem Trump avoided by selling out to Ari Emanuel: Miss Universe Puerto Rico Comes Out as Scopophobic.
I'm sure you and Margaret Serious can figure that one out.
The etymology didn't ring a bell until I read what it was. It used to be called being shy.
Looking it up it seems a more intense physical reaction.
Well, we reacted the same way, anyway. Shyness is a better word, and seems worth defending these days.
Well put, Aquinas, as ever. But if the Republicans are going away, what will we have left?
The Left.
