I remember my parents saying 'stuff' like "Birds of a Feather Flock Together" and "You'll be judged by the company you keep." All that Gobbledygook was to warn me about being selective in making friends. You know the message, don't run with bums and delinquents. Umm, looking back on things, I wonder how many mothers warned their boys about 'my kind,' whatever that was? Ah, I had good friends. Some of us could be idiots at times predicated on some choices we made but for the most part, we all became productive without being incarcerated.
There is much to be said about 'birds of a feather' however. Just examine President Donald Trump and those with whom he has surrounded himself. Trump is notorious for pontificating 'his' own truth on matters and refuses to accept facts that may be unpleasant for him. Example: The majority of Democrats and Republicans accept the fact the Russia meddled in our 2016 presidential election...Trump thinks the culprit could have been your fat nephew. Even White House staffer Kellyanne Conwawy purports, "We are entitled to 'alternative facts." Trump is known for his propensity to lie as are his two Generals, Flynn and Kelly. Trump is extremely arrogant and incapable of apologizing; well they don't get much more arrogant than Steve Brannon and the honorable General Kelly, when caught lying about a Congresswoman stated, "I'll never apologize to her." Thata' boy, Semper Fi.
Well, perhaps Donald's mother wasn't into those 'character cliche' reminders to her Little Donnie' and Donnie's dad was too busy running around with his own questionable crowd...The KKK.
