💯 looking at posts from the social media trolls, all MAGAhats need to hear is "drinking liberal tears " in order to fall into line with any authoritarian dictat.
They put on their "no thinking" caps.

Walken's face speaks volumes. I am out of words for how tragic is the end of the hopes and dreams that "America" once meant. Perhaps it was all an illusion, all along, but the aspirations were real, however naive.

I don't know how much longer BlueSky will be allowed to exist. But as long as we do here's an artifact from 1939, Joseph Goebbels. Making jokes about DerFuhrer not allowed.

Tough time to be teaching & parenting young people in particular. Luckily, being retired, I don't think I put my paycheck at risk for saying what I think. But the regime may come for all of us eventually

Yes, Joe's administration was competent. I get that. But his persistence to run again was a bad idea. Telling the truth about his obvious struggle health issues isn't necessarily a "smear." We democrats SHOULD be able to "handle the truth " IF INDEED Tapper's reporting is valid. I bought the book.

Bought the Tapper book, at my local bookstore, not online from Amazon. Didn't want to criticize it just for being harsh, kicking Joe while he's down, nor because Trump’s cognitive decline is worse & more damaging(true, but separate issue)
I want to get a sense of its veracity, for myself.

" Self Realization Fellowship" in a space that was a Texaco gas station back in the mid 20th cent. A small business start up in my town, where 'spiritual but not religious " is a catch phrase.
