Remember the old folk tales about the devil and people who sold their souls? The devil always managed to trick them and make their "reward" a misery because, well, he was the devil. That's my worry about #TheEpsteinList. That somehow those grifter devils will manage to pull the rug out once again.

I saw someone post their regret that everyone was “so mean “ to Trump. Perhaps they didn’t notice that Trump was “so
mean “ to immigrants, people of color, women, veterans, Democrats, people who disagree with him, children, the disabled, the elderly, the young, the non-rich, the intelligent.

Oh, dear Hamlet, something is truly rotten in the State of Denmark, and Sweden, and Poland. But these days the enemy sends spy drones to threaten the populace.
All because yet another insane man-child has dreams of world domination. And of course OUR man-child has given him free rein for a decade.

We have to pass tests in order to be doctors, lawyers, teachers, accountants, to assess our ability to do the job. We have to take a test to get a driver's license or determine placement in school. But the assessment of the president's competence is nonexistent. Why?

The suppression of truth-tellers is the default mode of any corrupt coward who craves power. It is also a threat to all freedom-loving people, all artists, writers, thinkers, humanitarians. Speak out while we all still can. #FreeSpeech #CantPickAndChooseFreeSpeech

Yes, good vs bad is eternal. But when the bad is preventable and leaders do nothing--ask questions. WHY won't POTUS do more to protect children? WHY discriminate against all minority groups? HOW can so many powerful bodies

We have been lied to many times by many people. It's as though we've come to expect lies rather than truth.
Outside of the endless river of political deception, today's most egregious falsehood: "Your call is important to us."

If we hear “thoughts and prayers” and “ guns aren’t the problem” rhetoric, and if they go on to say that this is a mental health issue, then know this:
1. Trump cut mental health services significantly.
2. This administration does not care about America’s children

Sometimes, when I question the logic of a person's "true facts," they yell, "Do the research!"
I guess this is a euphemism for "I have never done research on this topic, but I enjoy hopping on the 'Misinformation Express' on the reg. Also, my thinking cap was long ago lost at sea." #criticalthinking
