Y’know, folks, I really think Republicans should have to wear tinfoil hats so we can identify them and keep our distance! Jeff shares a post by Jerry, aka Grumpy, that will either make you laugh, growl, or at the very least shake your head! Thanks, Jeff & Jerry!!!

Ronald Reagan said, “The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.” When he said that I absolutely agreed with him.

He was able to talk about such things in detail because of his first-hand experience in doing it himself. Over the past 5 years I have written about this many times on many blogs, but hardly anyone has listened. They don’t understand how Trump works.

I just never realized Repughs have been doing this since at least Reagan’s reign!
