I hear you Vincent but we know they won’t. Just wait until you hear what comes out of the Republican convention. I don’t have to seer to see what they will do because they do it every single time.

I'll give you another way to step away from the edge today and in the weeks to come.
When you are tempted to speak in terms of “we” and “they,” pause. Take a breath. Reflect on your own motivation. Take stock of your emotional state.
Ask: Is what I am about to say true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? Is it helpful? Would I want my children to hear me say it?
Would I be able to recognize myself making the same assertions with the protagonists reversed?
And might it not be better said without the foul language?

We will find out soon.

But would it not be a welcome relief if at least some of the Republicans were to make an effort to act like the "loyal opposition"?
I know! That's a quaint, old-fashioned concept.
Still, one can hope.

I’ll hope with you. I just won’t hold my breath.
My fear is that this is going to get worse not better
Migs:
Let's check back in with each other on Wednesday.
