HOW PLEASANT IT WILL BE (IF ONLY TEMPORARILY) TO NOT SEE THAT ORANGE STUPID WEEPING BAWL BABY OF A MAN
EVERY TIME I HAVE TO WATCH THE STATE OF THE UNION.....

I need some relief, lol.....I am 70 I won't have too many more...but let me ask a stupid question then, WHEN A NEW PRESIDENT GETS ELECTED, ISN'T THAT WHEN A NEW PERSON WILL BE ELECTED???? AND HOW PRAY TELL are THEY elected?????

Imean this person is 3rd in line....can't we americans be more careful...
thanks for your note..often I don't want a bunch of really intelligent people hitting me with things i don't understand....

and I don't really understand how he could be worse than Boehner....and if he could be worse, WHY cannot we do something about it?

Have a nice weekend yeoman6987...you don't have to reply to so many dumb questions.....and you were also kind about posting an answer to me. I get very un-kind things sometimes.....
and since i am recuperating from leg angioplasty in both legs, I am not in a very happy mood.
