Well, I'll leave the link live, here, but I think I'm done with social media. Tired of talking to the void.
If anyone is interested in maintaining any kind of relationship with me, I'll be happy to provide my email to you. I hate this character limit and nearly all my "friends" have disappeared.

Trump just ordered the DoE closed. It is illegal. And it is a another step in dumbing the country down so far it waill HAVE TO be run by foreigners: We won't possess the intelligence to run a republic. MAGAts love this because they are in love with a dictator. They're happy to do his bidding.

Welcome the American Fascist Oligarchic Kakistocracy, wherein Putin is the new Hitler, Trump is his new bootlicker, Mussolini, and Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg, are Goering, Himmler, and Goebbels. -This had better fall hard and fast, as Trump is already calling protests against him "illegal".

Watched A Complete Unknown the other night. It was like watching a dream of what happened. There was a lot that looked right, but some of it was unconnected with reality. As an amalgam for those unfamiliar with Bob, it's an amazing film and captures the period far better than "Inside Llewyn Davis".

It is clear as crystal that Americans do not know what happened in Germany in the 1930s. We are treading the very same path. The American Republic is in grave peril. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQpd...

Trump and Vance just made the US the 22 republic of Russia. IMPEACH. CONVICT. REOMVE FROM OFFICE. We need to get the criminals out of our government.

"If a nation expects to be ignorant & free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was & never will be." ~Thomas Jefferson. -He warned us, as did Franklin, Washington, Madison, and Henry. -Today, Trump is busy dismantling the Dep't. of Education. He loves the uneducated.

Yesterday was my birthday. A right lonely one, too, as Sue had to depart for the wilds of western Wisconsin to close out her Aunt Clara's affairs. I spent the day in reflection, mostly. There were no phone calls. I'm glad Sue is taking care of dear Clara, though. That's a great B-day present.

Ultimatums. Threats. Insults. Bullying. Harassment. Hatred. -These are the only tools in Trump's toolbox. THIS is what Americans think is going to make us "great"? -Did those of you who believe his lies EVER listen to your parents when you were growing up? I ask, because it looks like you didn't.

I don’t want to be in a country where political appointees are selected based on absolute loyalty to the president rather than on competency or dedication to the benefit of all the people of the country. -All these "I don't want to be in a country" posts are quotes from Canadians. I concur 100%.
