I am filled with contempt over the actions of the Executive Branch of our government and the inaction of the Legislative Branch. Nothing seems to have been put in place to safeguard the American people from this barrage of hate, guns, and overreaching of power. We never in our wildest dreams thought this had been given to this clueless, conniving monster of a man whose ego reigns. My heart is sad, but we cannot give up! Down with the king!

Trump is locked into a few vague ideas he adopted a half century ago and shows no mental capacity to adapt to changing realities or process new information. At 79, he’s an ossified, declining version of the vengeful, self-obsessed, adoration-addicted, fundamentally mediocre man he’s always been.

Such traits, barely tolerable in an aging relative, are terrifying in a president who can’t deal with complexity and believes reality should bend to his whims as they did when he was a TV boss.

Those with money and power still seem blind to the bad consequences that also await them if they continue to accept Trump’s erratic behavior and his allies’ radical far right mission to destroy centers of learning and research and the pillars of democracy.

Until they wake up and act, the fight is on us. The historic peaceful protests on June 14 won’t be enough but set a stunning example of what we the people can accomplish together when focused and strategic.

THIS: "a $5 million taxpayer-funded settlement quietly handed to her family for the death of a woman who was attempting to reach and possibly kill elected officials during a violent coup attempt. The defenders get ignored and the attackers get a payout."

Selling off public lands should arouse everyone’s ire. This limp dick fascist’s -oops, darn autocorrect- I mean lame duck president should be opposed by every party in Congress. The other irony is that he’s been carefully cultivated as an asset for SO LONG that by the time he has peak power, he has dementia and can only sell trinkets and tweet. Will keep calling and marching and speaking up until we get it righted. Thanks for your writings!

What’s next? Oh right—they forgot one thing: selling off the names of the protected lands to the highest bidder. Welcome to the Grand Canyon -- Now the Chevron Bowl™
