Happily retired, carpe-ing the diem in UK. Dad & Opa (sounds younger than Granddad). Travelled Europe, US, Asia on business, lived 8 happy years in Netherlands. Enjoy football, K-Drama, ruining good walks with average golf. Disillusioned with politics.

Kamala Harris nailed it. We warned everyone the stakes were too high to hand the guy built for Project 2025 another shot — but noooo.

Ever have one of those mornings you just want to throw the window open and yell, FUCK YOU ALL? Yeah, that.

A video arguing that women shouldn’t be able to vote was just shared by Trump’s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still can’t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

Please explain term Democratic Party Leaders

Surely another phrase like Bermuda Triangle; Roswell; Area 51. Recognise the words but no physical evidence of existence.

Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

Sadly, Democratic Party Leadership are front & centre on your list of “missing in action”

So much they could & should be saying & doing.

Instead the tired, bitter (compromised?) old guard are only active in resisting new, young, angry voices from their own party. #Shame

Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.
