Retired life-long Dem. Never Ever Trump! Lover of animals, my grandkids and my True Red Miata.

Thankful for this awesome new platform.
Trump denied federal disaster money to Michigan, a state he won, and now those citizens will have to pick up the full tab for the grid restoration.

Screwing his own voters.

There's no way anyone can get me to believe that these monsters are not paying Trump directly for pardons. He doesn't do anything that doesn't directly benefit him.

What's really tragic about the whole sordid Epstein episode is that we could have had good things happen in this country if Hillary had been elected.

Here's a story about what happens if the government doesn't reopen.

Some of the things in this story are already happening.

I wonder how much more will happen.

Even Mike Johnson admits the president is unhinged and unwell.
MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Just a couple of random thoughts for this beautiful Friday:

I sure would love to see all the democrats in Congress on the Capitol steps calling for impeachment in one voice.

I know we can't do it without republican votes, but it sure would be nice to see a loud, unified message.

I'll be calling my reps today and asking them to please do this. Join me.

This is the most accurate synopsis yet.
For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.
