At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed. Do not forget this.

#vss365 Her expression #stormy, she stomped into the house & threw herself on the sofa, exuding rage. Nan made tea & sat quietly, knitting. "Aren't you going to ask me what's wrong?" Nan shrugged. "Nope. Want a cuddle?" "Yes please."

Yeah, I get it, but it was too much hassle to buy my own ISBNs and market them elsewhere. Maybe when the American nightmare is resolved, you might reconsider? I assure you they're worth it! 😉

I'm not sure people heard what our crazy president said HE SAID "CHEAT LIKE HELL" The president of the United States of America just told his supporters to cheat and offered a $5,000 bribe. THIS IS NOT NORMAL!

THIS IS NO ACCIDENT! Trump/Miller/Mullin, and even the “Conservative” SCOTUS 6 “Christians”, like the NAZIS, do NOT believe in our Constitution, Bill of Rights, Habeas Corpus, Magna Carta, Equality of Justice, nor in basic Human Rights or decency. Like Hitler’s Brown Shirts, ICE is Fascist, LAWLESS!
