Yet, the obvious contrast with the former tenants should fairly scream "WTF were they thinking??" when they put this petty narcissistic pathetically unqualified con artist grifter in the ultimate position of responsibility.

Decency, kindness and competence -- will we ever see them again?

We will when the profiteers of the outrage industry develop an immense will to focus on the right things to be angry about.

R.I.P. George H.W. Bush.

The Clarence Thomas appointment and the Willy Horton ad affair left a bad aftertaste to an otherwise honorable legacy.

Flying all day, watching the ceremony from 30,000 feet (literally). Struck by the solemnity, grace, the normalcy of it all. GHW Bush achieved greatness by working well across the aisle. The country is better for his long service.

The contrast with the current carnival barker, who will never achieve much of anything beyond bitter divisiveness, is striking.

Considering what a sh!tstorm in a dumpster fire that the Trump presidency has been (George Conway's words), when Dolt45 croaks, he should be cremated in a dumpster and the remains dumped unceremoniously in a landfill.

It was a very moving service. There was a lot of love in this cathedral.
