23. I look at it like the German cardiologist looked at me some 18 years ago.

I had two forward coronary arteries 99% blocked. That I hadn't dropped dead of a heart attack yet was pure luck, and was an even about to happen. He said hours, not days. The only thing the surgeon said to me in English was "just in time."

But here I am, 18 years later, alive and kicking. As long as one steps back from the brink instead of crossing over it, one has a chance of survival. With Trump, we came close, and we're still in critical condition, but not yet ready for that great historical body bag, much as the Republicans would like to put us there.

I would guess that their big guns all have open first class one way tickets to Sochi hidden somewhere among their readily accessible personal documents. Not jerks like Lindsey Graham or Clarence Thomas, but certainly Moscow Mitch and the Kochs. Dick Cheney has already moved Halliburton to Dubai. I'm sure it beat having the GAO pore over Halliburton's books after what they pulled on the U.S. Treasury in Iraq. I guess you have to be a well-placed Republican to act like the disappearance of $9 billion in cash into the Iraqi desert is a bagatelle unworthy of further investigation.
