While he is not my representative, everyone here on LI knows tough talking Peter King. This is what the big shot had to say about "traumatized" anti-Trump protesters shortly after the election:

“C’mon, have some guts, have some nerve, get out there, we’re supposed to be a great country. Are these the morons we’re counting on to be leaders in the future?”

Why no town hall, Mr. King? C'mon, have some guts, have some nerve, get out there....

From wiki:

Heiress and socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post...envisioned the house as a future winter retreat for American presidents and foreign dignitaries, and following her death in 1973 it was bequeathed to the nation. However, successive presidents declined to use the mansion, which was returned to Post's estate in 1980 and in 1985 was purchased by Donald Trump.

I just got a phone call from a woman who knocked out my headlight while she was parallel parking back in early November. Like me, she is in her 60's.

The day of the fender bender, I was wearing Hillary gear, and she told me that she was a supporter as well, but was keeping it relatively quiet due to the verbal abuse she had received at work in our very red area of a very blue state. (She worked at a hair salon, so one can only imagine what a pile on it must have been, given the number of people who had the opportunity to hurl invective.)

The next day, she mailed me a check for the damage and enclosed a note saying she hoped we would succeed on election day.

Out of the blue, she called me this morning. "I know you were involved and hope you can tell me how to volunteer. I'm haunted by what happened. I want to do something to make sure it never happens again."

MADE MY DAY!

before the election.

Tweety is covering the story in his next segment.

Aren't these the people who voted for Trump and the Republican promise to repeal and replace the ACA? They got who they wanted as president and will be getting what they wanted in health care policy. Why are they so angry?

The more I see it, the more I wonder exactly how Trump won.

so that they can seamlessly slip him into the highest office in the land.

If Trump is tainted by pre-election illegality or ethical breaches, then so is Pence. The ticket should be held to account. Pence either knew what was going on or he is so dimwitted and easily manipulated that he has no business being president.

You made my day!

I have a colleague whose son went to an all boys high school in the city. He was involved in the drama productions, and his mom was a frequent chaperon at play rehearsals. The female roles were filled by the girls at a city sister school.

"You're going to be a big star some day, Stephanie," is what my friend would say to one young singer any time she heard her rehearse or saw her perform.

You can catch Stephanie tonight during the halftime show on the Super Bowl. She's the headliner.
