On a new path in the mountains; immersed in art, friends, garden, nature, laughter; owned by a border collie, now battling snowy winters, gophers, moles, voles, and Republican'ts at 73. With freedom comes great responsibility. Terrified for America.

I am a broken record but: this will require Supreme Court reform. There is no chance the John Roberts Six allow prosecutions of Trump officials to stand.

Special prosecutors on day 1. Everyone in this administration who broke laws— including every ICE agent who ever kidnapped anyone— must go to prison. All of Epstein’s buddies prosecuted too, Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter.
Has to be this way or this country won’t survive.

No but really my fear is that the next democrat in the White House will be conciliatory and deliberate when what we need is a chainsaw and some sage.

Absolutely the truth. It would yet another way of dumbing down our citizens and they've proven their stupid enough by putting the orange idiot back in the presidency.

“I have the greatest blinks, people say the best blinks. Sometimes my blinks go on for hours.”
Trump also denied falling asleep during Cabinet meetings, claiming that reporters only catch him while he’s “blinking.”
“I’ll just close. It’s very relaxing to me. Sometimes they’ll take a picture of me blinking, blinking, and they’ll catch me with the blink.”

There is no way if I was a parent I would do anything 'cept home school my child AND I would require all parents of kids that would socialize with that child to show proof of vaccines. Period.
We’re sleepwalking into a disaster
5 million-plus kindergartners now live in counties where schools don’t have “herd immunity” for measles, Washington Post reporters found.

Not only do Republicans have no agency, neither do voters.
There is NO charge that would've prevented Trump from running, because any conviction would've been appealed through 2024.
And the only people who let him go free are the people who didn't vote against him.

Joe Biden’s fatal flaw was relying on the reluctant institutionalist Merrick Garland to prosecute the case of insurrectionist Donald J Trump. Had Garland done his job, Trump would have been banned from office and America and the world would not be in this predicament.

MAGA sympathizer/Chief enemy of the Voting Rights Act John Roberts says the Constitution remains "firm and unshaken" with major Supreme Court rulings ahead.
Which translates to the Constitution being in the most danger it has ever been. I don’t trust this lying asshole at all.
