Trying to save democracy. I post mainly about political issues of the day, with some of my dogs thrown in.
Midwesterner. Former Baptist. Atheist. Divorced. Remarried. Dog dad. Trying to fight for our democracy while we still have one.

I asked my grandmother today "Has your social security check ever been late?"
She responded, "No, and it better never be. That's my money."
Howard Lutnick can kiss my ass that piece of shit.
'Down with the tyrant!'

This is totalitarianism. Not rule of law democracy. And everyone who excused thus is potentially signing this nation’s death warrant.
The woman in medical scrubs, who was a U.S. citizen, was yanked from her car and wrestled to the ground by federal immigration agents in a Key Largo traffic stop Wednesday before she was released.
Woman forcefully detained in Keys was driving ‘illegal’ boyfriend’s car, feds say

“What I do with vaccines is a very, very small part of my job,” Mr. Kennedy said in the interview.
"Measles outbreaks," Mr. Kennedy wrote in 2021 in an e-book..., 'have been fabricated to create fear that in turn forces government officials to ‘do something.’
Unhinged 😒

Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim.
Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen.

I hope all the folks standing behind Trump feel real good about being the backdrop for the racist ravings of a jerk.
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."
