Unless there are 67 certain votes to convict, any attempt to impeach Trump is a futile waste of time that will only empower him. And anyone thinking the 25th amendment will save us hasn't read it.
We need a MASSIVE blue wave in November.

The animated DAVID is a decidedly mixed bag. There are some things that impress while other parts of the film are cringeworthy. Perhaps the youngsters for whom this is directed to will be more charitable.

Just when you think Trump and the MAGAts can't sink any lower, they're now calling for reparations... for white men.

I have nothing but contempt for MAGAts. But if someone says they disagree with me on issues but realize how horrible Trump is, that is someone with whom to engage, not demonize. To do otherwise is to play into MAGAt hands.

So, the heavy-handed "moderators" here took off the censorship label from my account, but in the process also unfollowed me from everyone I connected with over the last year. I've reconnected with some. If I missed you, feel free to reach out.
