“... Sen. Robert Byrd, ancient fossil of Virginia.”
Please be careful here ... Virginia has it bad enough; Byrd is from WEST Virginia.
Being the daughter of ol’ Virginny as West Virginia is, the mistake is perhaps understandable, lol.
It goes to show just how upside down our nation has become, that the only person in the current line of succession, that I’d entrust the nation to in the least, would be Robert Byrd.
He’s about as old-school of a Democrat as you’re going to find above ground. He has all the old-school Democrat baggage, too. But he loves his country and his people, that is not at question.
He’d try to do the right thing as he understands it, of that I have no doubt. It’s just that his understanding as a Democrat is too often at odds with mine. He’s still superior to any of the other transnational progressive trash before and after him in that line of succession.
LOL!
What’s really sad is that the old rascal comes from good patriot stock. I believe he is descended from Col. Byrd of Colonial times...
Some of my family served with/under Col Byrd and other revolutionary luminaries - including one who actually marched above Winchester with Col. George Washington in the French and Indian wars (there are some of the Slaughters, Websters, and Spencers mingled in, but the Lee/Lightfoot families of Virginia are the major part of my family tree - so intertwined through multiple marriages across several generations, the two cannot be disentangled entirely.
