Well, they now have the White House, SCOTUS, and both houses of Congress. How will they ever blame their failure on the Democrats?
Oh I'm sure they'll find a way.
This is a virtual cafe where all ideas are entertained all facts discerned, all topics discussed. And just because the proprietor has a passion for Christ, books, and the Acoustic guitar, that doesn't mean you can't veer wildly off into different subjects. So, come in, have a coffee (imported especially from Verble's finca in El Salvador), and talk about whatever you want.
Well, they now have the White House, SCOTUS, and both houses of Congress. How will they ever blame their failure on the Democrats?
Oh I'm sure they'll find a way.

One Technician: So what is your suggestion - that we all quit?
Second Technician: I'm not saying that. I'm just saying don't let them make you waste your time and effort on something that's never gonna work out.
Today my wife told me that she wanted back the man that she had married. She meant the man I was when we got married. That man, she said, was funny and kind and caring and sweet and was always very tender and never got angry and was always mellow and completely in control of everything.
I thought about that man. My wife is right. He was a great guy. Late 20s, still had all his hair, was relatively in shape (no middle aged spread, no arthritis, no back problems). That guy hadn't yet lost his parents, his grandparents, his wife's parents.
That guy still hadn't gone through raising three kids, one of whom stopped speaking to him 15 years ago. He hadn't moved states, been though downsizing and layoffs, been fired, been told he was unqualified for a position he'd been working for seven years. He hadn't faced major emergency room visits for his wife who nearly died from a rupturing gall bladder. He hadn't yet had to drive four hours to rescue his daughter from a violent roommate.
That guy hadn't yet had to watch his savings dwindle to repair his house that the insurance wouldn't cover, never had cars die, been stranded, helpless, apart from his kids in hurricanes, hadn't yet reached his fifties and still wondering if he will ever have enough money to retire.
So my first thought after wondering about that great, wonderful, guy, was "That guy didn't fucking survive three decades of this thing called LIFE!"
But that would have been mean. So, I just told my wife, "He's still here. He's still me. I'll do better."
And she said, "You've been saying that for over 25 years."
My wife last night, from the other room, out of the blue, just said, "My breasts hurt"
I said, "I'll rub them for you."
She said, "No thank you."
And I thought, 'Well, that about sums up your Fifties!'

Galatians 1:1-9
First of the 13 letters written by the Apostle Paul
Laundromat Preacher - this was the most fun, because people couldn't just walk away and leave their laundry. He said it was especially fun when they got someone who had just put the quarters in and HA! they're there for another 45 minutes!
Spring Break Preacher - When asking the question, "If you died today do you know where you would go?" and the partyer would say, "Give me 5 bucks so I can get another drink and I'll answer your question"
