I’ve been around politics for nearly 50 years, trying my best to stand up for the little guy. But my generation of Baby Boomers failed to stop the bullies.
In my new memoir, Coming Up Short, I examine what went wrong — and what our children can do to build a better America.

How can a woman remember a time when she didn't have rights, fight to gain those rights but then vote for those who'd strip them from the women who remain after she's dead?
Fuck em. They as a generation failed, massively.
Look at the presidential candidate you forced upon Americans. She won no primaries.
Look at the criminal in the Senate, @schiff.senate.gov.
Look at the laws you ignored (immigration).
Selfish Greed went wrong
Tale as old as time
Blah blah, I know #NotAllBoomers, but enough of them.
Not directly relevant, other than hoping that your book offers some lessons learned as did the Dieppe raid for D-Day nearly two years later.
You know they don't pay taxes, right?
Of course, as a genxer, I'm sicked by what my gen has done, as well.
I love it.
listen to your elders! (unless they're watching FOX lol)
Somehow, they went from “peace & love” to “screw everyone else” as they aged. 🤔
😂
America has become Israel's slave colony.
We did it then, we will do it now. Battle worn but not battle weary.
Complacency always ends in misery, turning the other cheek is a luxury for the lazy, meek and weak 🤷♂️🖕😡🕊️❤️🔥🌟🙏
Robert missed it, the generation thing is only a small part of it
We are here because of white racism.
Honest intellectuals know this, and have been saying it for years.
Just now it's writ large, and pales STILL refusing that truth
Don't be too hard on #BabyBoomers. They were blocked & clocked.

What went wrong -
Democrats and fake Progressives went out of their way to help Tyrants and destroy Constitution.
Democrats and Fake Progressives caused the Great Depression.
What did imbeciles think would happen when took away ability of State Legislatures to stop tyranny,
regulate banks, coin money & regulate value of money, regulate investment companies, choose Judges on US Supreme Court,
make decisions dealing with Tariffs, trade agreements, Treaties, War, Draft, taxes, regulations.
Most harmful imbeciles are fake Progressives.
I like Real Progressives.
Noah betrayed Michael and his widow. His lack of good character does not surprise me.
Max should have to pay widow Billions of Dollars for breach of contract.

Sowing division & hate is so awful.
I like you and follow you. But, now, I HAVE to read your book so I can defend myself as a Boomer and know how to best discuss how my generation destroyed America.
The generation of peace and love.
If you don't go onto college .. if you don't go onto university .. then high school grads and dropouts could do an additional 8 months of regimented training with good leaders like Adam Kinzinger, Tammy Duckworth and Colin Allred.
Answer their questions.
Lead by example.
Get Socratic !!
With good guidance these kids can excel beyond the wildest of dreams.
American intent was admirable but ..
The self-aggrandizing and attendant sloganeering created room for dismissiveness regarding domestic issues.
Those unresolved issues have now roosted and weaved a cumulative and dangerous juggernaut.
They didn't want to stop them because they were the bullies of the world. Americans don't realize that they created this false narrative of "American superiority."
The Peter Principle. Failing upwards is as American as apple pie.

We don’t like that—it feels wrong like we’re denying free will and the value of education. But Nazi Germany was full of educated and may I even say inherently humane people. We’re social creatures and mass propaganda WILL sway a critical mass.
Boycott Fox advertisers.
Fucking white men.

Abuse begets abuse
Break the cycle! Fix your shit!
Specificity matters and generational generalizations are not helpful.
Pro tip: We hate you because you're racist thieves.
If you roll around with pigs you're gonna get muddy. I'm sorry you feel personally attacked. You might want to evaluate why you took it so personally.
What’s the point of reading the book about what we already all know? Is it gonna get that fuck out of our White House? Is it gonna fucking change anything or is it just a reason to sell a book? Every one of us need to make sure this fuck is removed from office now!
I mean you no offense I just wanna clarify that. You truly have served your nation with honor no exception to that. Your classes on economics and your insight has made me a better person smarter one I meant you no disrespect.
We need to stop that piece of shit .
