Reading the news headlines this morning…happy for my Canadian friends that the King is paying them a visit and will be opening parliament for them. As a US citizen, I’m mortified that it’s necessary for the king to defend Canada’s sovereignty against the USA in his speech.

My situation at 7am Friday morning.
It has occurred to me that our friends and family who voted for Trump have — in a way — given up on our democratic ideals that require us to negotiate and compromise with our fellow citizens. Instead, they pushed the “easy” button by supporting a guy who says he can “fix everything” for them.

Oh, that’s a relief…I was worried there for a while about Elon’s conflicts of interest. But I guess we’re good…Trump said so! 😅

Looking at this morning’s headlines quoting Trump’s comments on the North Carolina and California disasters, it occurred to me: if I wanted to un-unite these United States, I couldn’t think of a better way to go about it than to install a president that talks and behaves like Trump.

Just saw a video clip of Elise Stefanik, Trump’s nominee for US ambassador to the UN, refer to the “overwhelming majority” of US voters that voted for Trump and his policies. I do not consider a 1.47% spread between Trump and Harris to be “overwhelming.”

Biden says the Equal Rights Amendment is law. What happens next is unclear
To come into effect, the constitutional amendment would need to be formally published or certified by the national archivist, who has declined to do so in the past. What happens now is unclear.
