    John Lewis made a big point about how Trump's inauguration was the first he will miss since joining Congress.

    He lied.

    Yes Dumpf needs to be super extra vigilant about people spewing blatant, easily disproven lies.

    The PBS Frontline episode was excellent and can be viewed online:

    President Trump - Transcript

    One quote by the author of TrumpNation:

    TIMOTHY O’BRIEN: "I think if you had to pick sort of three stereotypes that are probably constantly tap dancing in Donald’s mind and in his imagination of himself, it’s Clint Eastwood, James Bond and Hugh Hefner."

    That was an excellent show. They did a tremendous job of balancing out the interviews and Trump still came off like a petulant dickbag.

    Welcome back, Hermes. Not sure which previous poster you are, but if you track what I do here, I've actually been criticized for not weighing in and taking positions on issues. So over the past few years, I have occasionally provided various comments, way before 8 Nov 2016.

    My preferred mode is to joke around and draw a laugh or snicker, because life is tough, our jobs are tough, and laughter is the best medicine. And besides, this is just a message board. I'd much rather develop friends to have a beer with than enemies who can't stop arguing with each other in an attempt to "win" or get the last word.

    Anyway, that's kind of the Vombatus Manifesto. I'll take puerile as a compliment.

    Happy New Year to you and yours!

    Thank goodness Trump is leading the GOP to finally help America deal with the John Lewis Menace.

    Good idea.

    Laughter is the best medicine?

    Outing alert: Vombatus is your parents' old copy of Readers' Digest.

    He meant it seriously, but not literally.

    We've discussed this before, but you throw this word out so cavalierly. You throw it out there when could just as soon as have erred. You shouldn't. It assumes intent. You shouldn't assume the worst about people just because you disagree with them politically.
