The bluenami is exhilarating but let's keep our eyes on the ball. Don't let up. The demons are clever. (metaphorically!)

Canceling because of an incident you don't like strikes me as throwing out the baby with the bathwater. For every blithering CEO there are thousands of hamsters making all the little wheels turn who will be the first to suffer.

Perhaps a proper time to quote Donne:
"any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

I'm at a serious loss to explain how Drumpf can keep declaring fake emergencies to harm people and there is no one who can stop him.

Drumpf says he'll put the DC homeless somewhere far away. No specifics. Does he have another concentration camp ready for them?

Billionaires do not want a bigger yacht or another vacation home. They want more billions. They want it all. If they just wanted another yacht or home, they could already afford to buy it.

Welcome to the new AmeriKKKa, now with military lads on every street corner! Why, you can't have a banana republic without that! Enjoy your free escort to a brand new country you've never seen, where you can enjoy the true adventure of wars and poverty, just like the place you left, but different.

Trump cannot be bound by law. The only remedy is removal.

1. I consider the proverbial dog eventually catching the car it chases. Once Trump has declared martial law with soldiers on streets of the "Democrat" cities, what's he gonna do with it? With the armed forces fighting their own people, it seems unlikely that he can annex Poland, or even Greenland.

Sometimes I feel old. I remember when I couldn't imagine soldiers and military vehicles on our streets, or tanks streaming through D.C. But now I'm imagining water cannons, and I'm surprised they haven't yet been deployed. Dark days.

"O' beautiful, for spacious skies
Now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details

Here I am, doomscrolling in the middle of the night just in case.
In previous years the first thing I did most mornings was to stumble to the toilet and urinate. This year the first thing I do in the morning is yell "IS HE DEAD YET!"

Based on his interview on CNN, It seems as though Drumpf has no idea that small business is the backbone of America. From the greasy spoons to the auto mechanics to the daycares to the furniture stores, small business is the economy.

Isn't it a bit silly that when Drumpf's polls are bad he rants and the people doing the polls instead of those answering them? 😆
