The Merriam Webster dictionary today has nine synonyms for "enfeeble"- no need to list them as you have hinted at them in your piece today. The antonyms are: Strengthen, Energize, and Invigorate. Does that sound like Trump? You bet. Mr. 5- cup here
"If we are going to be able to keep our Republic, we need people working for us, not against us." I have intentionally taken your quote out of context - your intention appeared to be to rally the electorate, but I think the quote also underscores the basic problem we have in our country today. THEY, the politicians, work for US. WE, don't work for THEM. The erosion of civility between the political parties in America seems very "protectionist." We elect them to do OUR bidding, THEY quickly forget that and create their own fiefdoms, and the next thing you know they are protecting THEIR power at the electorate's expense. Much of this would go away if only DOJ would convict those committing fraud with OUR dollars, and throw them in jail. And guess what, I believe we would once again see civility between the parties.
We would invent political parties if we hadn't already succumbed to the corruption of our glorious constitutional republic by having it serve man. People are nearsighted when it comes to politicians - they just see "what they'll do for me" rather than noticing that the federal government's jurisdiction is the whole country, and elected officials should govern accordingly. The fetid odor in and around DC is not just the pollution in the Potomac.
Actually, there would be some good uses for a Barry Sanders type, particularly making jaw-dropping highlight films. (I think you meant Bernie, but keep Barry in there.)
To be honest, comments are hard to come by without a large critical mass of readers. Over the years I've been blogging I think the most comments I ever had on a post was writing about my Rushalanche years ago, but it took a post with over 5k readers on a hot topic to get to that number.
You deserve a LOT of good comments on this one! (However, you didn't have to type all the words to "It's My Party" for me...) Go Fetterman! Is he a little like Henry in "Regarding Henry" in that some sense was knocked into him after the frightening experience? I did not know much about him before the stroke.

Yep, Bernie. Working too late last night! Thanks for the heads up.
I'm just impressed you remembered Barry. Of course, being from NW Ohio I would.
