He asked the audience of white, middle-aged folks if he thought "the new guy" would build a wall at the border and deport Muslims. They said (unbelievably) that he couldn't do it, the Constitution and courts wouldn't allow it. (Huh -- read Japanese internment and quote for Jewish and other immigrants for decades).<br />Then Bernie asked why the'd vote for a liar? No one could answer him.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-57390347746270644262017-03-23T06:24:14.411-04:002017-03-23T06:24:14.411-04:00You are a inspiration.

The why seems to be the same as the why for Brexit, or the rise of the extreme right in far too many places, if you ask me. We are both adventurous women.<br /><br />"The elephants of life." You are aware I am sure of the mascot of the US Republican Party.

Fortunately, guessing at words turned out to easier than I would have expected. "Constitution" = costituzione. "To Vote" = Votare. I got really good at it after the fifth or sixth demand for an explanation from stupefied friends--small consolation for what we are all suffering.

You left home when Obama was in office, and came home to winter (some names should never be spoken). Such a sad tale. It's a good thing I know you well enough to know that you've already raised the ebullience level in New York by a solid 3%, all by yourself.<br /><br />Welcome home!Everett Kaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12371555243187874414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-85643615098587045212017-03-20T05:14:55.890-04:002017-03-20T05:14:55.890-04:00You were adorable at 14 months, so full of life an...You were adorable at 14 months, so full of life and curiosity. And you still have that same zest and inquisitiveness.<br /><br />Sad about your spouse. Life throws a lot of curve balls. I've had my share. <br />So I get it. It is sad.<br /><br />But look at all that you have done in 83 days. My head is reeling from reading about the air travel alone. <br /><br />But you went to so many countries and cities and took terrific photos which will be new memories for you.
