hard-charging leaders - after a very long week, which included losing their North Star, Rep Elijah Cummings - they got on a plane and rode for hours on end in an effort to find a way to maybe, somehow, do something about the carnage the madman has so cavalierly unleashed.

hell yeah, I am just so delighted!!

about their safety. We would lose so much intelligence, knowledge and talent if anything went wrong. I will breathe a sigh of relief when I hear that they arrived home safely. They are showing the Jordanians that the government of the US is more than just an orange clown, with stupid hangers-on.

Part of me chuckled at Trump’s dispatching Pence to Turkey to “negotiate” with Erdogan. My thoughts were that Trump came down with an acute case of bone spur - itis and c(w)ouldn’t go there - or anywhere dangerous.
