Grip, a talking raven, lived at the Dickens' home and inspired a secondary character in "Barnaby Rudge" as an exuberant force for discernment. Me? Happy amateur pianist, healthcare advocate, and retired accountant.

The arrogance and entitlement of rich, white men to do anything, regardless of its legality or depravity is antithetic to a democracy.

'Epstein’s in-box painted a picture of “a world where immense wealth, privileged access and proximity to power can insulate individuals from accountability and consequences. For those inside the circle, the rules of the outside world do not apply.”'

Sorry - I meant an oversight of the Biden administration for not replacing him.

Approaching the abbot with his sword drawn, the samurai leader said, “Don’t you see that I am the sort of man who could run you through without batting an eye?” Calmly, the master answered, “Don’t you see that I am a man who could be run through without batting an eye?” #zen #courage

There once was a band of lawless samurai warriors notorious for terrorizing the local people. One day they come to a Zen Buddhist monastery, intent on violence and plunder. The monks ran away in fear for their lives--all except the abbot, a man who had completely mastered the fear of his own death.

And I don't like how Biden was treated in the election run-up, but I fumed during those 4 years that things needing fixing weren't getting done - like immigration law, election tampering, fixing the Insurrection Act, backing off of the unitary executive brain-worm.

A thing to do that got dropped in the general chaos of running the country. But, the IG of DHS... kind of a big thing. In the current pic, doesn't matter - a Biden replacement would have been summarily fired like the others.

I covered the Jonestown massacre. Donald Trump is giving me flashbacks
