Disenchanted American. It's not the fall of democracy that's important, it's the friends we've made along the way.

What a shameful day to be an American. The country that I loved is gone.

He wasn’t a fan. Until someone explained to him how he could make many billions from it by doing nothing and producing nothing of value for humanity. Now he’s a big fan.

I'm thinking about installing a flagpole in my front yard for the express purpose of flying the flag at full staff when that fucker dies.

Flying flags half-staff for 30 days after the death of a former president was put in place by President Dwight Eisenhower 70 years ago in 1954 & has been done for every president since that time until this Monday when Mike Johnson will end that tradition at Donald Trump’s demand.

Wow. If we still had a country left, I'd find this upsetting. He'll probably make it on Mt. Rushmore after all; if they have to blast off the faces of the other presidents to do it.

No other man or woman elected to the highest office of the United States would be psychologically damaged enough to demand this. Trump is a sick fuck and I really wish his sycophants would stop catering to his malignancy.

A expected, the stupid Trump shit has already started before the imbecile is even inaugurated, and I just don't have the energy to give a damn. I'm literally out of fucks. It's a weird place to be. Let's forcibly annex Canada. Sure. Why not. Of all the stupid times to be alive...

They absolutely got away with it. They are likely to continue to get away with such things for a while. But here’s the thing: I’d rather be unsuccessfully decent than successfully evil.

Conservatives are *pissed* about this. I would remind you that Trump awarded Rush fucking Limbaugh a Medal of Freedom. This is simply the universe correcting itself.

So Mike Johnson barely wins election to Speaker of the House, where he will have a slimmer majority than he had at the end of the last Congress, after a few Republican holdouts were finally twisted into submission by Trump himself. And Republicans are like …

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That is fascism—ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power. —Franklin D. Roosevelt

So it seems I may not become wealthy under Trump's promised egg savings largesse. How disappointing and totally unexpected. Next you'll be telling me his concepts of a healthcare plan will fail to deliver and America will not be respected on the world stage. Alas.
