Retired botanist and IT administrator. Trumpet player. Grampy of twin boys. UCC church member. New Mexican. I stand for democracy, which is why I could no longer be a Republican. With fear for our democracy, I dissent as well. #HoldFast!!
No DMs.
Not to worry. The lies will come out.

Escaping justice will be the individuals most responsible for these crimes. Mark my words.

What’s more infuriating is that he will return to the cult soon. It’s likely only momentary outrage. Just watch.

Impeachment by the House means nothing without 2/3 of the Senate voting to convict. Dems are unlikely to get a Senate super majority in Jan 2027. A significant number of Republicans must come to their senses. Possible but unlikely.

SCOTUS didn’t think this through. It’s what the founders feared most.

Being petty and hostile is a baseline for this administration.

This vile, hate filled language from our President will not end well for anyone but will, hopefully, end without him and his evil sycophants, especially Stephen Miller, anywhere near power.

Yes, the Russian leaders are Terrorists. Their attacks are not meant to accomplish anything but fear in the Ukrainian population. The people of Ukraine are stronger and Russia will have to pay full reparations when this is over…soon, I hope.

We see you Kate.

I find myself trying to imagine what a Trump redesigned Coast Guard cutter hull would look like. Definitely form over function.

I am also trying to imagine the conversation between Trump and the naval architects regarding his redesign. Maybe just deep-six it.

Does he have to lie about everything?

I hope so. But it’s a big professional risk and risk to their employers.

Give the reporters credit for asking the good questions that bring out his ugliness. Every one of them should be doing this every time.

Personal risk assessment: (1) Disobey illegal order and be subject to immediate court martial and sentence, possibly overturned after change of administrations someday, or (2) Obey now and perhaps be court married someday after change of administrations.

Would be enormous sacrifice to disobey.

US foreign policy is now dictated by Putin. Huh. Who would have guessed this would happen?

Every single one of us who paid attention!!!!
