What if the Shitgibbon has had a stroke? What if he is suffering from dementia and it Alzheimer’s? What happens then? Do we watch him slowly decline until someone steps in/up? Then we get VP Couch Fornicator?

So we all knew the president is a pervert. It is well documented. Who else is lurking on the Epstein files that stands to lose their lives and livelihoods?

Wouldn’t this be considered DEI hiring and in this “MAGA” world we do not allow that anymore….so sad.

At what point is enough of the lawlessness of our “elected”leaders too much? Videos of Republicans telling people that “due process” is not necessary. The government is literally kidnapping people and deporting them. They are building concentration camps as I type this.

What the heck kind of propaganda is this now? Totally using Christian Nationalism and the names in charge to coerce the weak minded.

With a breach of National Security of epic proportions and nothing but denial and finger pointing and sidestepping blame. When literally millions of government employees would be fired and possibly arrested we are going to let this slide as business as usual for this coup of Democracy?

It is becoming even more blatantly obvious that our elected officials care more about their Billionaire backers than they do about our children. Sending full on Swat forces to protect cars versus doing “anything at all” to protect our children. Shameful.

Again I ask, at what point do NBC we call what is happening a coup? Treason? Above and beyond illegal but truly intentionally harmful beyond letting people die from a pandemic and encouraging hazardous solutions to it? Sincerely tired of beating around the bush.

I am, like many of my fellow Americans, simply appalled and certainly overwhelmed by the actions of this poor excuse for a Government. A President using powers not granted to him legally by the Constitution, but protected from retribution by a judicial system that has been proven to be corrupted.

Could we find a lawyer to start a class action lawsuit against Elon the Muskrat? I figure he can afford a million dollar each every citizen whose financial information he compromised without consent or clearance.

As the extreme cold has started to loosen its grip on W NY and NW PA I am thoughtful. I am certainly in hibernation mode simply wanting to eat dinner and go to bed most evenings. I am mindf of the safety of my
Children. Neither are at home currently.

Wait? People spent $5k for tickets to the inauguration?

Hard for me to think about things today. Having nothing to do with the machinations of the perversion of democracy to benefit a few at the ultimate cost of millions. My distractions are more personal and worrying today. To quote the person I am worried about, “Growing old isn’t for sissy’s”.

Terrible commute to work today. This was right before the detour that added 40 minutes and a lot of miles! Allegany National Forest is beautiful in the snow but the roads aren’t plowed.

Trust me there ARE other options. LOL but I am not that person.

I have options. Usually, the best option is to walk away.

I understand and agree. Like the young man in the Gym in the OP, I too have struggled my whole life with anger issues. Where I especially struggle now is with people who know that and intentionally try to get me unsettled and angry. They see that as “winning”. There are no winners in that though.

I've Studied Anger For Decades. Then An Encounter With A Man After Trump Won Changed Everything. "I was sitting in the bleachers when a young man — probably around 30 years old — came up to me and asked if I had a second to talk."

Ryan Martin makes a case for engaging with those on the opposite side of the political spectrum, insisting it's necessary now more than ever. I am still angry and disgusted, and unable to do this. But I admire him for it.

Would love to hear what you think.

Recognizing when the opportunity is there to have a discussion instead of an argument is a tough thing and that seems to be where we truly lack the ability to recognize the olive branch being offered.

You mean how maga is the NFL? The answer is almost as maga as NASCAR.

I am noticing suddenly a proliferation of bots and or thirst traps here. Phishing at its most basic.

My daughters were there on Christmas morning to open presents. Followed by dinner with my father and step mother. After Christmas a road trip that included a Spa stay was truly relaxing. Good company and new experiences. I hope this becomes the pattern for the New Year!
