As much as I try to stop wasting the mental energy (not to mention torment), I still ponder the unlimited possibilities for a different world had the 2000 Florida recount been allowed to go on.

I wonder if China requested he wear them. China: We are concerned about discoloration we see in photos. Tell us what’s going on. US: There is no problem. He shakes a lot of hands. China: Tell us really what is going on? US: We have already. China: Then he must wear gloves or else no meeting.

The Final Battle for America’s Democracy
Forget November 3. It’s January 3 when Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans might bury our democracy once and for all. Here’s how.

“Curiously reticent”…hmmm…perhaps as a metaphor think one foot on the dock, the other on the boat that is free and drifting away. Commitment reticence leads to a big splash.

I can get a handle on understanding DJT’s malignant (meaning progressively worsening) narcissism. Curious to know if it typically comes with all this darkness. It appears that the condition chokes out humor, which is…sad.

Dead serious. This attitude, this myopic rhetoric, does nothing but guarantee our 250 year experiment in government is doomed.

This 👇 Either the President is the holder of a public office, working on behalf of the country, or he is a private citizen working to protect his personal reputation. It genuinely can't be both in a functioning democracy.

The *access* needed by the press to best serve the public (and ultimately their bottom line) is to insiders willing to tell the story with support (docs, recordings, video etc). *Access* to podium liars is unnecessary - and counter to the mission - of an informed public.

A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

I won’t for sure. I’m fearful though. Future political leaders MUST FOLLOW THROUGH. It will require unlimited commitment, and super human multitasking capability.

Perhaps the fear of *burying an ICE agent* is a pretty good reason to overhaul or eliminate the force?

I do 💯! Those that can’t or are conflicted by implications to military tradition / doctrine / order please consider that the ordering of lethal attack / murder of non-combatants on the high seas started this, and makes a uniformed protest necessary.
