As a non US citizen, you should stop seeing it as Democrats taking back control. More like, US Citizens deciding that through the democratic process, the Constitution is important and that "we the people" is an immutable truth.

Sadly, swathes of Scotland have been practically sterilised to make way for grouse moors and estates devoted to deer. The cliche of Scotland's beautiful scenery would be better viewed if nature was allowed back into those barren glens.

US officials advise Trump that no one gives a toss anymore about the TACO Doctrine of threats, tariffs, and promises of gold edifices in their image....blah..blah. 💰💩💰✨️

And Trump "harrumphs" and fumes, etc. at the EU 🇪🇺 because they don't want their citizens to eat mutant chicken or mutant anything for that matter..how dare they. 👈 🇺🇲 ..🍗🧬👽

You're totally right, the percentages never make for comfortable reading. Complacency won't secure the future you think you deserve. 🤔

England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 voted for Brexit, then pulled on their Balaclavas and blamed the RNLI for all their woes. Maybe Liz Truss will deliver more 'wise council' to whoever is daft enough to pay to listen to it. 🙄

Remember, England voted for Brexit 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and all of a sudden, the inflatables headed for the White Cliffs of 'Utopia'. Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 said no to Brexit, and now it's trial by balaclava. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🙄

I remember when I started a new job in 1983, the future was "the paperless office", it would appear this hasn't happened and books and print is doing just fine and you still don't have to plug books into a wall. 📚....🔌

Xi Jinping must be puzzled why the US gave the village idiot democratic mandate it's taken the fun of trying to outwit your strategic opponent when they're imploding their own country. Oh well! 🇨🇳 🙄

Try and remember, non US citizens can't vote out Trump. The world has to watch while you try and work it out for yourself. A pencil ✏️ an 'X' and all this pain goes away!.....QED

Walked past this tree (sycamore,not sure🤔) at Kelvingrove Museum and Art Galleries), a couple of weeks ago. It's a wee bit bigger since I first wandered by in the late sixties.

The great thing of being a few hours ahead of the USA (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) is that you can switch out the light, and the USA (self-inflicted) madness temporarily goes away.....night! See you tomorrow, probably.🙄 🇺🇸

Since 1957 It hadn't even occurred to me I should count the vaccinations that kept me alive (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿). It's a genuine puzzle that US citizens would rather put their health at risk than disagree with RFK Jr

Watching/hearing anything about the USA from afar these days (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) whether it's sightings of Mitch McConnell or even the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. It tends to be just crap from the Republicans. 🙄

A few years ago, the FBI investigated FIFA. That won't happen with Trump in charge . Gianni Infantino knows a free reign awaits for those with the 'right' business connections.

I just wandered out to the garden (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿), and I appreciate how even light rain should never be taken for granted. There are still far too many people with very rich pockets who fail to grasp that drying up our planet is actually bad even for their entitled arrogance.

Mitch McConnell is recuperating and welcomes privacy at this time.

This was taken a wee while ago in a corner of our garden, I like the way nature quietly gets on with the seasons, whether you notice or not.

A wee while ago, I spotted on our garden table a water droplet that appeared to have stopped in mid-air until I saw the spiders web. The "small beautiful things" are there awaiting that fleeting moment of discovery.

This wee wildflower corner was taken about a year ago, overlooking the river Clyde from Gourock (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿), looking towards the Holy Loch where the US had their Sub. base until 1992. 🤔

It's intriguing when watching US politics from afar (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) it's like watching deck chair attendants on the Titanic jostling for the best place for their doomed guests. Trump knows best.......🇺🇸👎 🚢........🛟

Years ago, a college friend said just look up, Glasgow's wealth was in its architecture. But walk into many of Glasgow's tenements where the coal sacks once bumped the tiled walls, and you'll see Art.
