The greatest test of courage on earth is
to bear defeat without losing heart.

Why are you showing a picture of WV Democrat Robert Byrd?— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 31, 2018
No, I didn't watch Trump's "State of the Onion" address. (I'm making fun of the "Uniom" ticket misprint, which could be straight from the satire portal. I don't watch late night shows, so maybe the comics also used it.)— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 31, 2018
Hearing Trump take credit for the economy is fairly nauseating, including the black unemployment rate. First, the unemployment rate has known issues (i.e., labor pool definition), it's simply due to a long-term trend, and it's much higher than for the nation as a whole. pic.twitter.com/90uNsDTpCO— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 31, 2018
What's the record for the number of browser crashes during the writing of a single tweet? Mine is 3 times under Google Chrome.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 31, 2018
Trump doesn't have the right or Constitutional authority to demand loyalty of Rosenstein. Don't play disingenuous word games here. As far as I'm concerned, this is an impeachable offense.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 31, 2018
It looks like not very many retiring Republicans feel like they are "winning" under Trump. "Trey Gowdy"— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 31, 2018
Apparently Trump isn't the only train wreck GOP lawmakers have to deal with. #TrainCrash— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 31, 2018
I didn't listen to the SOTU address because I knew it would be all about Trump: how "successful" he has been at "making America great again." He's just an unaccomplished insecure narcissist craving validation from his minions.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) January 31, 2018
QOTD: "No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." - James Madison, who would opposed every President since at least Kennedy. STOP THE EMPIRE NOW!— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 1, 2018
One of the things you are taught in macroeconomics is there are lags in policy effects on the economy, and Trump's taking credit for it is nothing short of preposterous. https://t.co/46rVISmdRL— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 1, 2018
Those who live by the sword, die by the sword. A market correction and recession in a long recession are likely to happen during a Trump Presidency. The one thing you can predict is that Trump will have 101 excuses. But the pain of recession will loosen his grip over his minions.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 1, 2018
