I am just as ill at ease over the way this administration has hijacked American democracy...and taking basic competence with them.
But for a number of reasons I'm done with outrage. These people no longer get my anger. Just my determination to replace it and chaos with justice and kindness.

Imagine the president as the father figure of the country. Not hard to do, considering what we call Washington.
Now imagine the child comes down with a major illness.
Instead of caring for the child, the father goes golfing.
MAGA and Christian Nationalists: Defend that.

Get your exit, Secretary Bessent. I don't blame you.
But don't think for a moment we'll forget what you did...and failed to do. Your only hope is the Fox/Newsmax ecosystem. Speaking for the rest of the world...we don't trust you.

WHITE HOUSE: "There are no tariffs on Russia because economic sanctions on Russia following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine already preclude any meaningful trade."
REST OF WORLD: Then why did you tariff Heard and McDonald Islands? No meaningful trade with an island that has only penguins & no humans?

America became the nation it is (was) because we granted leadership to Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Obama, etc. People with courage, intellect and patriotism.
When you allow fear, greed and bigotry to dominate, you hand it to the people who say what you want to hear.
