Retired old coot who enjoys hiking, good food and good bourbon. Might have taught a little science somewhere along the way as well. Worrying everyday as to what type of country my granddaughters will inherit. No DM’s please.

MS NOW just reported that White House aids are investigating the possibility of putting Trump’s name on Ford’s Theater. No…not an Onion headline. 🫤

Based on the number of food recalls, I’m beginning to think it’s not safe to eat anything. 😒

NOW I understand why they’re building all of those detention camps. They’re not building them for illegal immigrants, they’re building them to hold all of the men who refuse to be drafted into a war of choice in the Middle East. 🤔

Will there still be unwavering support for Trump when he starts drafting supporter’s sons (who knows, maybe daughters too?) to fight a war of choice in the Middle East?

I find it interesting that the price of gasoline already in the station’s ground tanks continues to rise. How does that work? Wouldn’t be greed would it? 🤔

I’d be curious to know how many Trump supporters have actually read the Constitution ? 🤔

I seriously wonder if the country can ever recover from what this administration has done over the last year. And there are still almost 3 years to go.

So the FDA refuses to review Moderna’s new mRNA flu vaccine. These companies spend millions of dollars to get to this point. What a great way to make sure vaccines are no longer available to the public. I wonder if anyone in the current administration has influenced the FDA in any way? 🤔😏🤨

Just saw a headline regarding Kennedy and his questioning the need for the polio vaccine. Let that sink in. I’m old enough to remember what it was like without the vaccine. He’s one dangerous man!

So we’re going to run Venezuela for the foreseeable future? When will we start hearing the first whispers about needing to reinstate the draft in order to have enough bodies to do the job? 🤔

Congress might just as well stay in recess, considering how useful they’ve been. We’re not going to survive another 3 years at this rate.

I can’t prove it, but I suspect that the people who would make the best politicians want nothing to do with the job. 🤔

Having trouble handling my disgust with both political parties. It’s a terrible feeling to know that you have no options from which to choose. 🤨

There is no word or words in the English language that accurately describes the disgust and revulsion I feel when I look at what’s been done to the East wing. 🤮

It doesn’t appear that this Epstein debacle is going away anytime soon. I’ll bet they’re cleaning a lot of ketchup off the White House dining room walls. 😏

Every time I think about what CBS is doing to Colbert, I remember the line from Star Wars…”If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.” - Obi-Wan Kenobi

I love Star Trek, but not enough to keep paying Paramount every month. Time to cancel. Doubt if it will make much difference, but it will make me feel better.

I see after 10 years, CBS is canceling the Late Show with Steven Colbert. Done as of May 2026. I’m sure the merger approval with Skydance had absolutely nothing to do with the decision. 😏

That whirring sound being heard in Arlington is being made by hundreds of thousands of soldiers spinning in their graves, who gave their lives for this country’s democracy. And it’s beginning to look like it might have all been in vain. There may be nothing left to celebrate by next July 4th. 😟

I’m waiting for the requirement of all citizens to attend church ( the one they tell us to) every Sunday under penalty of fine or jail time if you miss.

I’ve never been more disgusted with the actions of my government than I am today. Vietnam was close, but I think today’s vote may end up killing more Americans. 😟🫩

Between rising prices due to tariffs and other factors, and the loss of healthcare, a good portion of the American population will be devastated..to the point where I doubt if they’ll ever be able to recover..at least not in my lifetime.

I miss John McCain. I didn’t always agree with him, but I never doubted he was a patriot. 🫡

Is it possible that there actually is a red line, that if crossed, would cause this country to explode? I have my doubts, but miracles do happen.

The fact that the president is casually talking about shipping U.S. citizens out of the country, or to his new gulags, and stripping them of their citizenship should send chills down everyone’s spines. The lack of response to such a comment is even more frightening. This is NOT who we are!

I don’t feel like celebrating the 4th this year. Right now, I don’t see much worth celebrating. 😟

I’m finding that I have to spend more and more time away from the news cycle and out hiking, for the sake of my mental health. Sure hope I’m not the only one who feels this anxiety? Not sure my mental health will survive the next 3 1/2 years. 🫤

I’m so tired, so sick of this administration and what this country has become! I think I need a week in the mountains off the grid to recuperate.

Until we have a citizenry who can think critically, I don’t see much hope in turning this train wreck around. 😟

Unfathomable that my granddaughters could grow up in a country where they have less rights than their grandmother did. I just can’t keep quiet and let that happen.

I wonder if the Democrats will finally realize, that the days of bipartisanship in government are over..at least for the foreseeable future?

I really miss John McCain. I didn’t always agree with him, but I knew he wasn’t a Russian agent!

I have to believe that this administration still has supporters because their actions haven’t affected these folks yet. It will though..and soon. It will be interesting to see the inevitable meltdown.

Time to visit my little granddaughters today. It reminds me why it’s so important not to give up fighting against this despicable administration. It’s for their future!

I can’t believe what my country has become in just 5 short months. I’m scared my grandkids will have to live in a republican created hell hole. I only hope I can live long enough to watch Trump throw the “supreme” court ( not capitalized ) under the bus when they’ve outlived their usefulness.

If I learn about something I don’t agree with, the first question I ask myself is..”How does this affect me?” If it doesn’t, then I MIND MY OWN BUSINESS.

Women don’t go to Planned Parenthood just for abortions. From what I understand, public monies can’t be used for abortions anyway, most cases.

One certainty about this administration. You can’t believe a single word that comes out of their mouths. Not one..damn..word.

I think my biggest disappointment during these last 6 months was finally realizing how many Americans, including members of my own family, still support the Orange Menace and his minions. 😟

I may be wrong (my wife says I often am), but I have a feeling the Founding Fathers would be so disappointed (and embarrassed) by our current congress.

The thing that really bothers me is that even when Trump is gone..and even if we get a “normal” government back again, which of our allies will trust us again, knowing that another imbecile could be elected down the road?

TheCenterTrail @thecentertrail.bsky.social · 23/06/2025
Until we change the mindset of the people we elect, and their focus becomes, “what can we do for the American people”, rather than “what can we do for ourselves”, nothing will change.
