We’re not to blame man. When you are lied to constantly from the pezzonovante in between trying to raise family, pay bills, and survive!!, one can get deceived.

I’m angry as hell that I got deceived, but we’re not to blame.

Dont worry, there’s still plenty of time to straighten things out with Trump.

And though I’m pretty beat up at 48, I’ll take 3 or 4 of those muslim/dem mother #####ers down with me if it come to it.

You used the word “pezzonovante” and that made me look it up:

“It comes from the Italian “Pezzo da novanta” which literally means “ninety caliber cannon”. It’s a World War One reference about large artillery used on the Italian / Austrian front. Immigrants to the US used it to refer to powerful men such as attorneys, judges, or mob chieftains.”

Funny, my maternal grandfather fought on that front in the Alps for the Italian army, and was captured by the Austrians.

After the war, he went back to the coal mines, and said the hell with his and came to America in 1920 with his wife, his son and his daughter, who became my mother.

He died when I was nine. He was tough. After the war he stepped into the church three times—once when his son got married, once when his daughter got married, and the third time when they carried his casket in for his funeral mass.

The reason? He said as a wounded POW, he was so horribly treated by the Austrian nuns, he swore off his church from that time on.

When our tempers flare in our family, usually toward some injustice done toward others, not internally, we still call it the temper with his last name. My older sisters have it worse than me—cross them and you are a dead man walking!
