Lynell, i am not giving up either, ,at least yet. I am appalled and disgusted that this, lower than scum and excrement SOB Donald TUMP is allowed to threaten our President, and threaten anyone that disagrees with his sorry ass. I read some articles earlier tonight that scared the bejeebers out of me about the threatening lies and rhetoric he is now continuously spewing several times a day. Anyone else but him would be either arrested and jailed or be sent to an insane asylum for evaluation and declared criminally insane. The fact that this is being tolerated makes me want to leave here for good and never look back. I just hope the unrest with this crazed and dangerous wild animal isn't about to boil over in violence. I have to admit, i am extremely concerned about this. His half-ass attorneys have become as delusional as he is......

Agree, John. I admit that I am not one of those brave people who..."rush in where angels fear to tread." But I am willing to stand behind the "foot soldiers" who are on the front lines. People like HCR, Robert Hubbell, Joyce Vance, Greg Olear, Jay Kuo...and even Dan Rather!

Too loosely quote Groucho Marx: “A good friend will come and bail you out of jail, but a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, 'Damn, that was fun'!”

I agree, Lynell. Do you ever read Robert Reich's posts on the Substack site? I am a paying member on this site and Mr. Reich's site too. These are great sites, and i like all of the people on both of these sites. One exception though, i sure as heck don't like those trolls that come on here at times just to stir up trouble. They disgust me.

Robert Reich's Substack is another good one, too, I agree. I just had to limit the number of sites I could afford to subscribe to.

I also had to limit the number of paid sites too. These emails i get from Democrats asking for donations are too numerous for my resources too. If i donated to everyone that sent me emails, it would cost me over $3,000 a month just by donating $3 to each of them. I receive less than that from my pension and Social Security each month.

True, this, John!

The authoritarian mood is spreading widely--threatening to infect many other countries, as well as ours. We must stay here and fight for the country that we want to have, to love & cherish because truly--there are no havens. No place is safe from the infection of authhoritarianism.

Agree that they’re delusional which is a component of their primary affliction - willful ignorance! The majority of Trump’s die hard supporters only read or hear information in which they already believe. Our hope lies in the possibility that there are enough of the “rest of us” to overcome them!

I'm reading Louise Penny's latest crime novel, A World of Curiosities. The prime suspect is a psychopath who is able to penetrate the minds and hearts of even the staunchest defenders of justice. His twisted genius preys on knowledge of others, their hopes and fears, to extract his selfish needs. That's what we're dealing with, and sadly he has beguiled our people, our systems, our country. Not all of us, though...
