Trump is absolutely terrible, the worst, EVER! He makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence.

I think that here in the US of A we’re in pretty desperate need of Regime Change! I can hardly wait until election day to vote these vile Republican toadies out of office.

Long before Trump came on the scene, I vowed I'd never vote for a Republican candidate for ANY elected office. In the intervening years, nothing has made me even ponder re-considering this. The current iteration of the Republican party is truly a cancer on our country.

Trump’s DHS & ICE agents are attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping people off the streets (without any due process), operating concentration camps where members of Congress are not allowed in, and rendering people to foreign lands they've never been to. This needs to stop.

Now that ICE is monitoring social media, I want to make sure that there is no question where I stand.

Fuck ICE!!

I look forward to the day when those ignorant thugs are all in prison.

I have always tried to imagine that most people are basically “good.” But, this clown show that is Trump’s 2nd term has really thrown me for a loop. I never thought that anyone could somehow collect so many malevolent bad actors and then put them in positions of power. Truly incredible.

I might be mistaken, but I think that the Nobel Peace Prize that our Dear Leader so desperately thinks that he deserves . . . may . . . be . . . slipping . . . away . . .

Today is the 229th anniversary of the first administration of a smallpox vaccine in England. At the time, smallpox killed around 400,000 people in England each year.

RFK, Jr. is working his butt off to make measles a routine disease again, perhaps he can bring back smallpox too.

Wow, the news is really making my head hurt, so . . . here’s our Bloom for the day:

As a current resident of Arkansas, I can assure you that the folks here who were impacted by tornados or flooding the past few days are so relieved that they won't have to deal with those pesky FEMA people trying to help or assist them.
