Yes they ‘hat’ them, like in the olden days when the government would force Black people to wear hats so no one can see that their heads are just as big as white people‘s. Antiquated racism. 😉😉😉😉😉

There is no afterlife so he and all the other Trump traitors need to step on a lot of Legos while they’re alive.

Weird fact. The first person to let us know how bad the pandemic was going to be was a CDC employee called Nancy Messonier, who is Rosenstein‘s sister.

We also know why the Mueller investigation wasn’t shut down. Although to be fair Trump told McGahn to do with him he just wouldn’t.

Rod Rosenstein is the one who needs to be prosecuted for treason. What could be more "aiding and abetting the enemy" than preventing the FBI from investigating and revealing the enemy's greatest U.S. asset?

Late to this, but anyway...

I know how you feel. I am 64 and disabled, but I get around fairly well. After having been retired almost a year ago, I was enjoying not having to work, and getting enough money from retirement and Social Security.

But having to deal with everything Trump was/is doing and being home to watch it on TV, or read about it online, I seriously wished I was back at work where I would have to be doing other things and would have to wait until after work to find out how Trump was detroying the world that day.

And then of course the pandemic hit, aided and abetted by Trump and the criminals in the Republican party, and so here I am, not going out anywhere near as much as I did before, and that leaves me to yes - watch and read even more about Trump and the Repubs. Yes, I know I don't have to do it, but I feel like I NEED to know, so I won't be caught unawares when he decalres martial law or some other shit that I fully expect he will do if he can.

And not being able to connect with friends (with no relatives to speak of) except on the phone or by e-mail only exacerbates the situation. Most of those friends actually do still have jobs, and so I am limited as to when I can talk to them.And while I can listen to music at home, it reminds me of the nearly 20 live shows I would've been going to had things not shut down. Ironically, some were moved from the Spring when they thought they could happen in the Fall, but were ultimatlely cancelled completely. One show in May was moved to the exact same date next year, and one wonders at this point if that will even happen.And I can watch films, but it reminds me of when I was last in a theatre and ran into a friend from out of town I did not expect to see there. Now, of course, no films, and no friend from out of town driving here to see them.

I am used to being realtively alone, so much of this is typical, but I can imagine that many people are having a very hard time dealing with the silence, thq euit, the sparseness of people around them. But there's not much we can do about the COVID aspect of things for now. Of course, had we had a real, hinest, decent, non-criminal president and evil cronies in Congress, we might be further along and maybe even serioiusly to solve this problem instead of readind about crackpot theories every day.

And lest we forget, this goverment has fomented just about every bad thing we could think about - racism, xeonphobia, anti-immigrant measures, white nationalism, attacks on the poor, misogyny, anti-LGBTQ measures, intentional destruction of the environment, championing (and starting their own) dangerous conspiracy theories, taking away people's rights to vote, destroying the postal service, denying real science on nearly every level, forcing children to go to schools in dangerous environments*, forcing adults to go to work in dangerous environments, ceding control of the US goverment to Vladimir Putin and Russia, and so many other things my now-weakened brain cannot remember at this point.

So I soldier on, as I imagine may of us all do, but realise that more and more there will be people who will fall by the wayside, and as much as we may try, there will be so many that we ultimately won't be able to do anything about it.But perhaps we can stem some of the tide if we vote Trump (which means voting for BIden - NO EXCUSES) and - very importantly - vote out his Republican cronies.

Stay safe...

In a way it's flattering that they try to peddle their crap here, on this humble mommy-blog/recipe-hub, but then in a way it's not.

Trump Fdn was NY state. I’m still pretty pissed all these non-presidential trump world creeps weren’t charged. Like Don jr. ‘Can’t indict a sitting president’ doesn’t apply to him. 😠

The scholar’s call this type of thinking ‘exterminationist’. Useful, horrible word.

We better win this election by a megaton landslide or there will be no America.

Jaw lifted from floor. And I’m wondering why is this coming out only now? The most important thing is despite trumps abject shambolic incompetence he/the people around him manage to deep six an intelligence investigation. And no one knew! Absolutely horrifying.
