Now that the Democratic Socialist controlled House of Representatives have completed their second Frivolous Impeachment of now Ex-President Donald John Trump, with the Articles of Impeachment in the process of being delivered to the US Senate: Where do you stand?
  Ex-President Trump gave me TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) and deserves the worst of it.
  Ex-President Trump is no longer president, and the US Senate cannot constitutionally Impeach and remove an ex-president.
  I thought he was already Impeached, so ... What was the question?

They "Teach" Our Children

    I went to a meeting a few years ago where the navigator on the Enola Gay was the featured speaker.

    His name was Theodore Van Kirk.

    He has since died on July 28, 2014 at the age of 93.

    He said during his address to us that he had made many addresses over the years to schools.

    One time he was introduced by a faculty member at a high school who told the assembly that he was a veteran of World War 2.

    Of course, that is normally written WWII. 

    She introduced him as a veteran of, "World War Eleven".

    These "teachers" are “teaching” our children. :-(

    Would I kid u?   Smartfella

Thank-you Alex for the sad reminder of the obvious.

As a Boomer, whose father fought in World War II, seeing action for the entirety of the Okinawa campaign, and the liberation of the Philippines, now sensing that he did suffer from a slight case of PTSD, which was never openly discussed in his day.

I am always incensed when those that did not serve, would never have served, know little to nothing of the sacrifice of our warriors, those men who were once just one of the many young boys, who worked hard, loved Jesus, and never doubted their inner patriot.
