I haven't heard "My Cup Runneth Over" in years. Thanks for the memories.

You're welcome.

I like the song when it was first released and have grown fonder of it as my wife and I age together.

Perhaps if you would order something from ACME Supply, you might see one pop-up.

Yesterday, on Mother's Day, the following song popped into my mind - reminding me of my wife and our life together. It has long since become that moment when we have both grown old.

There are numerous reasons to dislike/distrust Trump with the reins of our government - from Quora.....

A short summary of Trump's disastrous term in office.

He began 2017 with an administrative staff of campaign donors, w***e s*********ts and his own children. Then he set a record for most indictments, guilty pleas and criminal convictions of members of an administration. He immediately increased the deficit and halted a deal that had kept Iran from going nuclear because he thought paying them their own money to bend to our will was a bad deal.

He started a trade war that increased the trade deficit. It bankrupted American farmers as Russia supplanted the US as the chief importer of soy into China, forcing us to spend billions more (deficit spending) to bail them out. By the end of 2018 almost 2,000 American factories closed or moved overseas because of his tariffs, costing us about 300,000 manufacturing jobs.

His first major legislative victory came in December 2017 when he got his tax bill passed. The immediate effect was that 2018 was the worst year for the Dow since the 2008 financial crisis, ending the longest bull market in American history. Over the next two years the unemployment rate fell at about a third of the rate it was falling under Obama policies, and in 2019 the Fed started lowering interest rates for the first time since Bush was President to try to boost the lagging economy, and Trump himself complained they didn’t commit to do more to prevent a recession.

We closed out 2018 amidst the longest government shutdown in history, as Trump refused to work with his own party—who controlled both chambers of Congress—to pass a budget because they wouldn’t agree to fund his vanity wall (the one he insisted Mexico was going to pay for).

By the end of 2019 he had committed a war crime, tweeted a classified photo, legitimized the North Korean dictatorship, sided with hostile dictators against our own intelligence agencies more than once, promised the Taliban he would secure the release of 5,000 terrorists being held prisoner in Afghanistan, and diverted Congressionally-allocated funds to use them to try to coerce a foreign leader into helping him smear a political rival, resulting in his first impeachment. A GOP majority in the Senate bailed him out.

Then came 2020. We had advance warning that a p******c would endanger our nation. Trump had already dismantled the p******c response team Obama left in place and had defunded every agency that would respond to a v***l outbreak. Trump refused to take any action to keep the country safe, instead using it as an opportunity to launch r****t attacks against Asians and Asian-Americans and to attack Democrats for trying to protect their communities. His mismanagement led to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, record job losses, the six largest point drops in the history of the Dow, tens of thousands of unnecessary American deaths, and a deficit twice the previous record.

When he easily and predictably lost his re-e******n bid, he refused to concede, made false allegations of widespread v***r f***d, asked some states to nullify the results of their e******ns and asked others to manufacture thousands of f**e b****ts for him, participated in a scheme to seat f**e e*****rs, asked his vice-president to refuse to certify his loss, then incited his followers to r**t at the Capitol to try to prevent the E*******l College v**e from being counted, prompting his second impeachment (again bailed out by the GOP majority) and a number of felony charges.

On his way out the door he illegally withdrew all but 2,500 US troops from Afghanistan in violation of the National Defense Authorization Act, and stole classified documents that he would mishandle, deny having, and refuse to return, prompting more felony charges.

To this day he still has not admitted that he lost the 2020 e******n, and is currently standing trial(s) for completely different sets of felonies.

Most assuredly, Trump deserves no second chance to destroy our nation.

Tom, a previous posting of mine spoke of those feelings about Trump:

"My feelings for Vets (especially 'Nam Vets) run deep. The below links/articles & my following comments may help explain a major source of my disdain for Donald Trump. I doubt my lack of regard for him will ever change, though I regret that it often creates a schism between myself and others.

https://www.bing.com/search?q=donaldstrumpspersonalvietnam&cvid=a41d5983f0f94daaa1d225ba1510d899&FORM=ANAB01&PC=HCTS

https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/times-trump-insulted-u-s-veterans-military-service-article-1.3204210# (Taken from above link)

Regarding Donald Trump's interviews on the Howard Stern Show over twenty years ago, I wrote the following:

In the field, particularly, but also on the hospital ship USS Sanctuary in 1968, I saw kids my age whose bodies were ripped apart by gunfire from rifles or automatic weapons, artillery rounds, mortar rounds and booby traps from the enemy in Viet Nam. My lesser wounds allowed me times to walk through the wards visiting those who were left without arms, legs, g*****ls or had suffered damage to various body parts---including their facial structure and features. Many had also lost all sense of who they were before incurring such wounds, from psychological and emotional damage. A kid younger than I from a bed near mine ended up dying. IMO, he died of a broken heart. Sometime before, he had received a 'Dear John' letter from his fiancee back home. That letter (again, IMO) destroyed his will to live. This, after he had struggled mightily to achieve a certain degree of recovery, enough for having been scheduled to go on to Japan for better treatment and surgery necessary to guarantee a somewhat normal life.

For Trump, in any way, to compare the dangers of dating from STDs, etc. to the experiences of young men who sacrificed their lives or body parts in combat service to their country in Viet Nam or any war was/is abominable to me. When I first became aware of his comments, I was livid with anger. This many years later, I am reminded of Trump's callousness and obvious disregard for the feelings of friends or families who lost loved ones in that or any war.

Wh**ever one chooses to call his tone---mocking, sarcastic, or just down-right thoughtless, I cannot/will not forgive him. Neither could I tolerate his belittling of John McCain's service or the associated belittling of all POWs for getting captured. I can't listen to anyone who tells me he didn't demean them with his all-encompassing remarks. I watched while listening to his own words. I personally have met/know two living POWs (One died since this was written) and knew a survivor of the Bataan death march of American POWs in WWII. The last died a number of years ago, but the other two survived tortuous treatment by their captors and remain with us today. By surviving, they each were able to return and have families that, no doubt, help each forget the months and years of their imprisonments.

Trump's statements exceeded stupid or in jest, especially since he was playing to an audience and being recorded, both for radio, TV---and, for posterity. He was, at that time, around the age of fifty, an age most would have shown some maturity and empathy for those who did not have his good fortune in escaping service before, during and after college, but instead served their nation. Again, the families and friends of those who either didn't return from that horrific war, or, returned physically and/or psychologically maimed did/do not need to be hearing of Mr. Trump's bravery and courage in the dating game being equated to other's service to country.

IMHO, President Trump's patriotism is about as thin as the outer skin of an onion."
