We do not need wanna-be dictators in this county, nor con men sitting in the White House and Congress.

Bruce Springsteen: Land of Hope and Dreams
My feelings exactly, but I am not hopeful like Mr. Springsteen. The America I have always loved has turned into an abusive relationship.

We’ll Get What We Voted For – Charles P. Pierce
He sums it up better than I ever could.
Quite frankly I fear that the experiment that has been the United States of America is crashing in the most obscene manner possible.
Racism and Misogyny have won out
Kamala Harris is infinitely more qualified to be President of the United States than the tRump. I just do not understand how so many people could vote for this horrible, terribly horrible person except by explaining it by their fear of a woman of color holding the office – racism and misogyny. They also rejected Hillary Clinton, who was probably the most qualified person to run for the office in my lifetime.
I am having fantasies of checking out of this world rather than living through the next four years of the cluster fuck that is going to be a second go round with this monster. But I am not likely to do so as Señora has had enough pain in her life, plus I doubt I have the courage. What is about to come down the road, however, might make me desperate enough.
As a military brat I always had a great love and pride of country. No more. With tRump, Christian Nationalism, Project 2025, etc., I have come to hate what this country has become, especially since they seem to be doubling done on the awfulness. It does seem like from all the history I have read, that in the long run, evil generally wins out over good. tRump is evil incarnate.
Truly if there is a god as detailed in the religious texts, he hates humanity, as we keep getting leaders of such low caliber. I really thought that when tRump was elected the first time, it was one of the worst days of my life. I was wrong. Since we know what a monster tRump is this time around, yet he was elected, this time feels and is significantly worse.
The only positive thing to come out of last night is that Missourians did vote to repeal the draconian ban of abortion. However, I fully expect tRump and gangsters to make a national abortion ban law.
May the Devil save us as apparently God is not going to do so.
And so it should not go.

School House Rock – 2024 Edition Redux
I originally posted this”meme” on July 5th. Afterwards I remembered a song that might just go with our current political situation. See video below.
Theme song for politics in the USA circa the MAGA era.
School House Rock – 2024 Edition
You might need to be of a certain age to appreciate this. See video below image for a refresher.
From back in the day… when Saturday morning cartoons were still a thing and there was a little education thrown in.
My Anti-Trump Shirt
Below you will find my anti-Trump shirt. If you look closely you will observe that the motif is mostly sharks. I have been thinking about hand drawing some batteries onto my pool shirt to make it a double parody of Trump’s wonderful political rally speech in Las Vegas.
Just in case you do not get the reference, watch this video of the “highly articulate” felon going on about how he would rather be eaten by a shark or electrocuted.
Heaven forbid we should be talking about issues in this election cycle. What has our country come to that any sane person would think this man should be president one time, let alone a second time. My beloved country would cease to exist as anything I would acknowledge as my country.
John Oliver on a Trump 2nd Term… Be scared, very scared
John Oliver on a Trump 2nd Term… Be scared, very scared.
If you have 30 minutes it is well worth your time. There are groups gearing up to enable Trump’s anti-democratic, racist, classist agenda to be more effective on a second go-around. No matter how hard I try, I cannot come up with a single positive reason why anyone would support Donald Trump. I really wonder when they stopped teaching Civics, American History and critical thinking in the schools. Although I do not think critical thinking has ever been high on the American educational agenda.
Disheartening is the only word I can come up with…
