...my grandmother and my father, uncle, and aunt. He was murdered in a bar fight and the cops didn't bother to look for the killer.

My grandmother never stopped loving him however because she said, "He was a nice man until he got that silver plate in his head." That's happened at the Battle of Flanders in the First World War. When he was murdered, the British Army paid for his funeral, an elaborate affair from what I was told, because he was a highly decorated soldier.

Although my Grandfather was a terrible person whose death caused no regrets to anyone who knew him, I resent denigrating him by comparing the Orange Pedophile with him by calling him "grandpa". There was, apparently something redeemable about my grandfather, being something of a war hero, whereas there is nothing redeemable about the orange pedophile.

grandmothers are addressed, or can be, as "Mee-maw." I don't know whether grandfathers are addressed as "Pee-Paw" or not, Nor if that's still too affectionate for you (it sounds pretty dismissive to me.) But a male human whose children have children is in fact a grandfather. That's simply a fact.

We have a crazy man as president and people expect normal behavior from him. Now that is even crazier.

He is clearly mentally impaired, he proves it each day by a multitude of words and action and the whole world knows our "president" is mentally unfit. This country, Democrats and yes, even Republicans have to stand up and say this is bigger than party, this is about our country. This is beyond serious.

This shows that when he dies, his last thoughts will be angry ones and he will die feeling unfulfilled. He will die just as vile as he lived.
The only power these posts have is due to the fact that too many people are still willing to listen to them.
