@radiofreetom.bsky.social The Bulwark podcast w/you & Tim Miller the day after the inauguration was excellent. You mentioned you thought that LEO's wouldn't be onboard with Trump's pardoning of the violent offenders bcz, at a minimum, they wouldn't support those who attacked one of their own. cont'd
You could say he was worried about his own health.

This article resonates somehow. I had a brief overwhelming sense of grief earlier. Younger days when I didn’t even think about the state of my country: no fear for the future. No thoughts of comparison to oppressive countries, just peace. Trump has destroyed that. Who will lead us out of this?
Even when I didn't agree with a party's policies, I trusted that they believed in our Republic. Gingrich and his obstructionism was worrisome and the rise of hateful radio and TV shows was an irritation but I never expected that 1/3 of the US favored fascism. I'm so sad.
Among the reasons that Tom is staunchly against the invasion of Canada is that he knows that when he came to visit any of us he’d have to leave his shoes at the door :)
I've tried to express this to my adult kids and their contemporaries. Trump's lunacy would not have flown, The country would not have wanted such a man for president.
Real men & woman of business, not frauds or conmen like the Trumps, we’re not impressed by the orange moron today at Davos 2025. Trump is an embarrassment.
My 2014-2015 novel series, "The Angel Brings Fire", predicted basically the same thing, including, for example, domestic concentration camps for "illegal immigrants", a censored U.S. Internet and an "Argentina-in-the-70s" style police state.
