Senior, wish I could ignore politics but know I can’t, angry that at my age have to keep fighting the same fights, live deep in the country, gardening and friends and reading keep me sane.

Well said! And how to convince republican politicians to stand up to the orange man who wants to take us to the red?!!!
We are on the way to becoming Russia 2.0. People drink a lot of alcohol there because their lives are so miserable. The government makes sure they have plenty to drink.
Please don't sleepwalk.
It's time for you to publicly express your opposition to Trump. No matter where you are.

I am very worried T is leading us down the Red path, and last night’s circus is one example. Nothing that happened last night was good for us or for our allies, just good for smiling Putin. And the way Republican politicians just turned coat and rolled over is appalling.

“As Maine goes, so goes the nation”. Read Heather’s February 23rd letter!
This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here?
JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here
TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply?
JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law
T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all
