Sun is Setting on …


       Democracy!

The PINO (tRump) and unelected President Musk have their modus operandi fine tuned: tell lies about a government program or department and then fire employees and shut it down by cutting off funds. Look what has happened to USAID, FEMA employees and others. 

Only the courts are standing up to that pair of wannabe dictators but what power will they have to enforce the laws if the Justice Dept does not act? 

The Congress and Republicans there are being made fools out of fear they will lose reelection.  They’ve given up their oversight responsibilities and the power to deny tRump political appointees who lack qualifications. 

I watched the sunset last night and was up before the sunrise this morning because sleep was fitful with worries of what has happened and what new travesty will come today.

I was just thinking this morning that it is lost down there. I can't tell you how sad and upset that makes me.

...is buyer's remorse setting in yet?

So glad you have the ocean to calm you...wish I could say the same. So I actually have reverted to alcohol. It's Friday afternoon here anyway and I'm not going out!

I echo Anvilcloud’s comment.

How long has it been? It already feels like he's been there forever for all the damage he's done. We're shuddering to think how much more he can destroy in 3 years and 11 months.
