Remember when Republicans used to be the party of big business? When I was younger, folks used to oversimplify things by saying Democrats were the party of the union halls and Republ;icans the party of the country clubs. That doesn’t seem true anymore. At least when it comes to Republicans, I feel like they’re the …
Donald Trump keeps edging us closer and closer to the abyss. The only question anymore will be who goes over the edge — America or Trump himself.
