I'll tell you what I didn't get done last week.
I didn't fire every federal employee and/or agency investigating my companies for unethical and illegal conduct.

Finally decided today is the day to delete all Meta apps, Amazon and Prime and the Washington Post. X was deleted long ago. Makes me sad to lose contact with distant family and friends on Facebook but I just can’t stomach what’s happening in the US.

Hi. Greetings from Toronto. 🇨🇦 So happy to have found many of my favorite people, both American and Canadian, though I am taking a break from US news. And thanks for the follow backs. Still working on getting my artistic inspirations on here and a few French speakers and I’ll be happy.
