How soon before Trump gets that inscription chiselled off?    Maybe once the wall is built?

That was a reminder to everyone of the words written at the base of the Statue of Liberty in New York City.

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

I don't think The Donald will last long in the job.  

I don't think he'll like the job.

There goes the neighborhood.

To our elected officials, take a day or two off to shovel your drive. You will be most productive that way.

An incredible storm now winding down. I hope everyone made out OK.

Deacon ...... brilliant observation.   LOL!!!!!!!

Only nice thing with this storm is that the congressmen and senators are at home. They can't mess anything up further when they're snowed in.

Lovely autumn colours.

MD, they do that where u live too? Where exactly do u live? What did people in your country think when it happened?

Carol... they do that here.... lots of progs on tv over this last 10 days or so. It must be dreadful in the US where there are lots of people affected by it. As you say... it re-opens wounds.

Mira Bilis... very apt without being sickly.  :)

Ty Mira. That was beautiful and comforting.

I agree we should honor the heros and the victims but there is no reason to replay the actual tragedy on tv every year.
