    “...Offer your sentiments with modest diffidence—opinions thus given, are listened to with more attention than when delivered in a dictatorial stile. The latter, if attended to at all, altho they may force conviction, is sure to convey disgust also.” Geo Washington to nephew 1787

        George Washington studied manners and strove to be a gentleman. Also didn't want to be a "President forever" and warned future generations to watch out for politicians who are wannabe dictators. GW and other founders were miracles in human history.

        George Washington’s book on civil discourse should be mandatory reading.

        I mean, he's not wrong, but GW wouldn't last 5 minutes in today's political world. He'd nope the eff out of there with alacrity.

        Hi Deplorable Rob Bee! Your implication that I am blessed & privileged is correct. My children are healthy & thriving. They have nutritious food, clean water, books, space to play & more. I believe every child should have that, including those seeking asylum with their families. https://twitter.com/robbee5424/status/1008903152924594178 …
