Unloved by Elon (who once tried to get me fired), disgusted at "conservatives" who turned out to be Trump cultists, hoping Democrats will get healthier, and wishing Congress would do its damned job.

There are so many disgraceful features of the Trump Administration, but its embrace of Putin & betrayal of Ukraine is the very worst of them, and is likely to have the most dire long-term consequences. Why trust the U.S. any longer?
