My first blog from 12.5 yrs ago. It's frightening how the Republican agenda back then, in the hands of inexperienced and weak Reps has itself into today's political scene.
The tragedy playing out today didn't start with trump. He's just the latest marionette.

Now that China, South Korea, and Japan have agreed to work together on trade and Europe and Canada are cooperating in opposing trump's tariffs, the rest of the world is doing in a couple of weeks what the American people had 9 years to do but didn't. They've told trump to piss off. Or is it f-off?

It ain't getting any easier....
Wake Up! Or Sleep…whatever
We all need to be a little more woke. The evidence is everywhere. When Trumpistanians made “woke” a bad word, we should have all known it was actually the most important word of the 20th cent…
