JOHN RUBENS is no Mother Teresa.

The way I feel, he could be right.

What do I want to leave as a momento of my life? How will I inspire having no known children?

Gail Eichenthal might tell me to “Be nice John!”

It does take less muscles to smile… .

Re: Trump Immigration Relocations

“What about white collar crime in high-rise office buildings Mr. Trump?”

“They don’t wear white collars much anymore. You’ve got to give people a chance. You’ve got to give them a leg up sometimes.  How about you?”

“Don’t like high-rises or global warming Mr. Trump.”

“Okay, to each his or her own.”

“[T]he old ideal of devotion to the public good had been supplanted by rampant avarice; the love of country, by a love of luxury.”

“Money, wrote James Warren bitterly, was all that mattered anymore. ‘Patriotism is ridiculed,’ he had warned Adams. ‘Integrity and ability are of little consequence’.”

“Then why do so many know-it-alls get elected?”

“There are lots of know-it-alls sometimes, especially when no one knows.”

“Like Iran in 1978?”

“What happened?”

“All the experts left the oil industry to new managers.”

Anecdotal:

I figure to be more involved, either for or against the Trump Administration policies than if “that woman” is elected.

Why?  She won’t ask for it.

Point Trump.

Score Card:

Hillary Clinton: 5 Rubes

Donald Trump: 2 Rubes

Dear Gilbert:

BEVERLY HILLS COP: How does one write a joke about cops?

STUDENT: Maybe more women cops won’t be so bad.  Male cops don’t usually treat me so good.  Arn’t enough female cops to date as it is.

GILBERT GOTTFRIED: One doesn’t write a joke about cops.
