(Red = enemy/threat; pink = maybe so)

Sign that your 9YO may have two lawyers for parents:

Me: “You’re not complaining, are you?”

9YO: “No. I’m just stating my feelings in an aggravated tone!”

There's a saying about 'the news' . . .
"If you don't watch the news, you're ill informed, but if you watch the news, you're misinformed."

Can't even watch the news to be informed if they let people come on air and lie, unchecked.

Has anyone ever noticed that autocrats and wannabe autocrats are almost always obese and unhealthy. Maybe all that self loathing has taken a toll?

My daughter was talking to my wife and I about lockdown drills at her school, and at one point she said

"It's like a game of hide and seek, but you can only play once if you die."

This broke my heart. We live in a sick society, and I dont know if their is a cure.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

Looking at postings on BlueSy, and if you don't live in the US, you could be forgiven for believing that you were reading notes from discarded "Twilight Zone" episodes.
