US Army Vietnam veteran '70-'71. I love cats, cooking, coffee and cars (Racing). I'm returning from social media exile because there can never be too many voices for freedom and accountability.

WARNING! I have a very low tolerance for bullshit!

The largest cash donation we've yet received for our nonprofit that serves homebound seniors came from a couple of bros driving a jacked up truck with giant tires who were buying beer on Saturday morning so never judge a book by its cover.

This is more than embarrassing, it's pathetic. Is this the "leader" #MAGA wants? I doubt it. This a deranged maniac who thinks he is part of everything. These players deserve better 🏆🌈☮️

The violent political rhetoric that spews from the GOP has encouraged violence, cruelty & possibly lead to murders in MI.

Pardoning Criminals & Violent JAN 6th Rioters would make Hitler proud & also build loyalty, provide protection to racists and bullies who conduct violence in the name of Trump!

Cowardice is running rampant in the #MAGA congress. The #MadarinMussolini is nothing more that a school yard bully. There are just a couple of #Republican'ts that, sort of, stand up to their "fearless" loathsome leader. Pathetic at best 💢🌈☮️

It's fun when there are stupid people like these two. The charges are breathtaking. Their hubris and arrogance are "Trumpian" in scale. I'm sure they love the #MandrinMussolini

I love a good #FAFO story. All it took was taking a few moments of her time reading. I wasn't hard, I do it all the time and so can #MAGA or #GOP zealots. The truth isn't hard to find, you just have to look for it 👀🌈☮️
This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.”
