How tweet it is

Tweeted during Trump's speech accepting the nomination. First I laughed, then I got depressed.

(N.B.: It was actually Kennedy who used the "city on a hill" quote, taking it from the writings of early Massachusetts Bay Colonist John Winthrop, 1630. Reagan's slogan was "Morning in America." Nevertheless, damn funny.)
More good tweets ===>

I have trouble believing that enough people took Trump seriously for him to get the Republican nomination; it's so shocking and so depressing that our country has reached that state. But maybe it'll be a wake-up call. Maybe some good will come of this.
Or maybe I'll need to spend even more of my mental energy living in the 23rd century. :-)
