In late 2020 a crazy pro-Trump molestation conspiracy theory group calling itself QAnon grabbed news headlines, and I was treated once or twice following the presidential election to a group of those die-hard kuckoos waving at me as I carefully and slowly drove past them on Gainesville' sNW 39th Avenue, past the gentrified bunch of stores there, including Starbucks, called Magnolia Parke. During the past five electoral opportunities when Donald Trump's name was on the ballot against other candidates, I never voted for him...yet HillaryClinton(2016), Joe Biden (2020), Chris Christie [2024] an Kamala Harris in the2024 general election received my enthusiastic votes...I would have been happy with any of them as my president. As for Trump's suck-up acolytes...beginning with JD Vance, who I believe wants to sell out Ukraine to imperial Russia,and continuing with Pete Hegseth..I can easily confirm to the reader that I'll never vote for them, not even for dogcatcher. I know that my single, one vote on election day has about the same effect on outcomes as a drop of water in the ocean. I think that right now, DJT should be incarcerated for his 34-count felony convictions, receiving excellent medical care and security at taxpayer expense with all of the power he now exerts permanently removed. I also believe that past reported assassination attempts on him were fake, contrived hoaxes and that he successfully milked their media coverage to create a false public image about himself as a kind of folk hero. Well, that worked: at large, people are susceptible, gullible schmucks. But I can still love them despite my frustration, can't I? Yet they voted for him for president. May God in His mercy look out for my fellow Americans in spite of themsselves...

You've pretty much summed up exactly how I feel about the current administration. It's very sad, but my friends and even my doctor here all urge me not to go to the US for my yearly visit to spend time with my family. Of course, I'm going anyway, that's where my family and many of my friends are. But my husband isn't going this year and that is such a sad consequence of how things there have gotten so out of balance.
ReplyDeleteI wish you well on this week's Park Run, doing it for all of us "Slow AF-ers" our there.
I have no problem with Trump being comfortable an adequately cared for in his prison cell...that's a proper use of taxes.An i fthey summon me efo rjury duty before, God willing, I turn 70, I intend to take my sweet littl time and not allow aggressive pushy fellow jurors to pressure mewith verdicts.
