A Sign of the Times

I went to see Daddio yesterday and what I found was a nursing home filled with oldies glued to the TV. Usually it is the Hallmark station but yesterday it was CNN thanks to you-know-who's unhinged rant of a presser. Anti-Trump sentiment runs high among those left of The Greatest Generation. They didn't make the sacrifices they did for the freedoms we enjoy to have it being mangled by the man baby from the golden tower. As for all those lovely immigrants whose hard work and dedication keep the place going-God bless you for being kind and patient with my old man. What would we do without you?

    So true! I think people forget that a lot of the caretakers working today are from other places. God bless them, and Daddio as well.

    WOw. An intersting post and I am glad the seniors are not in favor of moving backwards. HOpe the visit was quiet and daddio was calm. Some of us get really worked up by THAT MAN

    Big hugs to you and your dad! And blessings to all of his caretakers.

    Spot on! I was bouncing off the walls of my cubicle yesterday. I think they called me into a meeting to keep my muttering to a level ...

    Unhinged is an understatement. I mean Yikes! It was painful to watch. I give the news media lots of praise for keeping their cool and continuing to give us the facts, He appears to be trying to shut down the free press. That simply CAN'T happen!

    My Dad was of that generation, fought in WW II and raised us to believe in doing good for all. He was disgusted by DT, and frankly most republicans. He dies a year and a half ago, I am glad he is not alive to see this.

    I hope all those folks are able to vote! We need them.
    This last month has exceeded my low expectations. I'm afraid to check on the news each morning.
