A combination of actual genetics and five marriages indicate I'm related to Vincent Van Gogh. A history chain for the win. We are family!

I honestly don't see how America recovers from the damage Trump and his goons are doing even after he is out of power. We are witnessing the collapse of a superpower at superspeed, and that doesn't get turned around easily. Just his actions since January will take decades to repair at least #r4today
