Just an Ohio grandmother who is struggling to remain civil with anyone who voted for the orange human garbage sitting in the White House….

When the Big Beautiful Obituary happens and there's party across the land, the GOP will try to shame us. Talk to the hand. ✋

Just watched David Frum (on the Nicolle Wallace Show) likening the morality of Paxton to Platner, who is running for Senate in Maine. There is no comparison, obviously. Shameful. Do I need to list all of the crimes of Paxton?

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.
Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.

Just as jarring as Trump's pro-Russia foreign policy pivot has been his embrace of Putin-like tactics at home, unfolding with a speed and ferocity far different than what Trump was able to pull off in his first term. Call it the Putinization of America. www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

Donald Trump’s Putinization of America
It’s not just in foreign policy that the President is turning Russia’s way.

Our president, everyone…. I hate this man/child! TRUMP JUST NOW: "[Ukraine] should have ended it. You [Ukraine] should have never started it, you could have made a deal." What a F-cking traitor.

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

This Trump transition is worse than expected, and I knew it was gonna be awful. Hoping the sane republicans will reject his disgusting cabinet picks….

The people on this site are so kind…. I can’t believe 800 of you have chosen to follow me. As a 67-year-old grandmother, I don’t often post, but I read many of your comments and it makes me happy to know there are still nice people in this country.
