Wednesday

The ones who have the facts and the mouth appear on MS-NOW, not in the Oval Office, face-to-face.

I had a father whose personality resembled Trump's. My siblings and my family were subservient to him. I was a teen and mouthed off to him. And I caught holy hell from him. Didn't change things. Didn't make him wrong and humbled. It emboldened him.

Some folks like Trump, it's a waste of time to confront them, at least in person and in the same room.
