QUESTIONS

Our 13 Questions logo.

1.  I know you’re a baseball fan, a Knicks guy bit what do you think about LeBron and the awesome record by the 76ers?

A few things. LeBron is like a new kid coming to a new team. He wants to show them he’s still got it and has been a true leader. His presence alone makes the East more competitive than ever. I’m glad for the 76er fans who have suffered for a long time.

 

2.  Did you expect that big of a blue sweep on Tuesday night?

I did not. Most Democrats like me have been very wary since a portion of dumb ass voters went for Trump instead of Hillary. When we were doing election returns our heads were on a swivel. We had NBC on one monitor, then were doing streaming with Maek Hiller, then opining and I personally did not have a full realization about the outcome until I got home. The Dems now have to make sure they are going to do something from the same page. They can’t waste any time and must meet Trump and his crooks with full force.

 

3.  What do you think of Medicare for all?

I think first off, get rid of the slogan. “For all” indicates that you are going to mandate or force people to do something they don’t want.

Rebrand it. Make it less “socialist” . Make the age 60 instead of 55.

Make it a public option which was what was intended all along. The people will come to it on their own if its es expensive.

Roll back money from the Defense Department and ICE and put that money into a separate funding mechanism for people who can’t pay.

Make it simple once its written. 80-20, 75-25. No preferences. That’s it for every American cross the board.

Any enrollee must have proof of a domicile or citizenship.

No tinkering around the edges.

 

4.  How do you feel about immigration reform?

Right now you’re not going to have that unless you restore the work effort to the work load of cases that were pushed back because the Trump administration gutted the system.

This will be hard to rebuild and it is up to the Democrats to make a more humane approach to this issue. Basic shit like maybe not killing American moms or male nurses driving SUVs.

 

5.  Turkey day coming up? White or dark meat?

Legs. Love the legs.

 

6.  I heard you saved democracy according tol some guy at your Sunday Mass?

 

LOL. Yeah we sit I the back pew at Sts. Peter & Paul in Plains   and a former coworker, soft player, fellow parishioner  and friend Kevin Kane said that out loud as his wife was   entering her name in the prayer book. I simply said, “Thank you but it wasn’t all me”.

 

7.  Did you get any feedback from the 28-22 live stream?

Yes more than I realized at first. The networks are still kings when it comes to election night dominance but things like streaming are making a dent. 

 

8.   Do you think it is a good decision to have Democratic Leadership work with the President?

 

Absolutely NOT. The guy can’t be trusted. Look at the tariffs and the Iranian war. You like me? No tariffs. You criticize me? I’ll raise your tariffs 80%.

The war. We won. We bombed even though we won. We are close to peace. We won. Some people there like us. They all want to kill us.

The man is erratic. I can work with Democrats. The election was stolen. Stephen Miller yeah.

It’s not going to work.

 

9.  How much damage did Pete Hegsmith do to the military?

Tons. He depleted our weaponry. Got rid of people for his own personal reasons.  Had no strategy for success. Treated military families like crap. Put stationed families of military personal in dire straits. Arrogant body shaming racisrt son of a bitch who will go down in history as the worst Defense Secretary ever. It’ll take two generations to get back on track.

 

10.             What do you think of Christmas music before Thanksgiving?

 

Not much. But I’ll check in once in a while. It already started on 92.1FM.

 

11.             Did you ever think Texas would go blue in your lifetime?

No, but I was pleased Greg Abbott got beat. He lost me when he sent buses of immigrants to northern towns unannounced. There’ one mean prick behind that smiling face.

 

12.             I heard you were going nuts at the Paul Anka concert. True?

  

Attorney and St. John's classmate John Terrana and wife Lori. 

Very. He was excellent. The event was well done and he was a master at it. I’m so glad I bought the tickets.

 

13.             How many visits did you make at the Never ending pasta promotion at Olive Garden?

Well it started in August so I ended with 5.
