Given the toxic swirl of narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that has enveloped the country, I’ve never been more pessimistic about its future.
And it’s not even about FFOTUS. He could choke on a cheeseburger tomorrow—a fate no cheeseburger would deserve—and I’d feel the same way.

Let's find out.
No more F'n around!
You are not alone, George.
The question is: what do we DO about it?
Any ideas?
Freedom is not something you win; it's what you keep fighting for.
Vietnam War protests seemed intense too.
This time around though the American people sing disconnected and numb. I don't know if we have the energy to fight back against fascism this time around for some weird reason.
"Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope."

We’d have to put it in a large glass case in the Smithsonian
I for one was deeply disappointed, but as Joni Mitchell would say… you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
So, rethink the paradigm. It took a bit to get beyond the 1st part of this article, but a better democratic process is urgently needed, & sortition & citizens Assemblies is food for thought.

Take the corgis out for a walk.

Of course, you didn't have to belittle me in doing so.
We're supposed to be different here.
Without Trump, I believe the Trump faction will be marginalized because of party infighting over who will assume the mantle.
They’ve done this for over 1000 years destroying every nation in which they’ve been given voice.
It’s why our founders fought a war to create a constitution that never mentions Jesus or the Bible. They hate that. We are their enemy.
They'll pick someone to replace Trump.
I’m not sure they can. He’s a con man of the highest order and a thug.
I pray to God there’s not another Republican who is as deeply flawed as he is.
Find many
2025: Democrats. Crickets.
one Nazi at a time, we have to get rid of trump, so focus,
then if vance comes along the same way get rid of him.
the public's personality is only as good as the sound bits they want to believe.
need to charge trump with a breaking a law and take it to the supreme court,
Don't give them any.
Love is a force.
Some say it's the most powerful force in the Universe.
It's time for us to love each other with all our hearts & minds.
Love trumps fear.
Light always defeats darkness.
And the more extreme they get, the faster they'll crash.
Anyway, what’s on Netflix?

Years ago I was a kick boxer and fought a guy that snap kicked me in the floating ribs. My diaphragm decided to quit working for a bit after.
That's where I am now. I was able to go again once I could breathe.
We will hold each other up. Let's be smart, focused and courageous in the face of adversity. I talk to my kids and know what I must do.
Hang tough George. We’re all in this together! We’re only a week in to a 4 year horrible situation. Remember, you can always hug a Corgi! ♥️
I couldn’t wait to get my hands dirty, but it’s like all the joy in the world is gone now.
I’m trying hard to find my joy again
My community will probably need it
Your truth telling has changed the world and will continue to give us all courage.
There are wonderful people coming up in the country that are beacons of sanity and strength....and who KNOW hot to deal with malignant narcissists and psychopaths
WE ARE SO F*CKED!! And not in a good way...
But, her emails.
Whoever doesn't notice our amazing Country is being torn apart bit by bit...they're not paying attention and refuse to move off planet Trump, Fox News and the GOP
Maintain your sense of humor. God knows you'll need it.
Most of all, don't give up or give in. If you do, they have won.
You got this!
might be worse and certainly more long lasting. The apathy is because we feel our thought leaders were better, were stronger.
We see no leadership
No dynamic to follow
Don’t say democracy
It’s not a blunt tool
Indeed.

There are lots of egos and ambitious in that lot at the top.
I could see a lot of in fighing between them, and as for the brainwashed cultists, I agree they won't follow him.
Trump is emblematic of a much broader, deeper issue:
Fascism.
Again.
It’s the exploitation of one class by another.
And We The People weren’t even given KY.

There, Evangelicals. I did exactly what you said, and prayed for him.
Don’t underestimate the power of that cheeseburger.
That meme is an out of the park home run.
No group will evolve beyond the consciousness of the leadership and our countries leadership is about as unconscious as they come.
Rise up!
Civil disobedience, small acts of positive sabotage, flash crowding media comment sections and phone-ins. Swamp media with multiple talking points. Posters, letters, grafitti. Boycott the Broligarchs. Organize, agitate, kick the MAGAs out!
America has cancer and one it’s one it won’t survive - long term.
