One of my very good friends in Illinois added this to our teacher friends' chat line.
I therefore looked this up and I'm finding quite a bit of truth in it. And then I saw this fun picture.
It's bad enough right now that Tulsi Gabbard could become the Director of National Intelligence.
Seriously? Most people in Hawaii where she is from know better just how intelligent she is.
And now there's Robert Kennedy Jr. in line to become the new Health and Human Services Secretary. He's the guy who is against vaccinations. I'm not going into it here.
I was aghast when Trump won the first time. Remember when COVID hit and he suggested pumping bleach into our veins intravenously?
Is it true that he wants the U.S. to take over Gaza? He wants to change Denali back to Mt. McKinley? He’s dismantling USAID? He’s getting rid of DEI programs?
It feels even scarier now.
It beggars the imagination.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until he tries to change the American Constitution to allow him to attempt a third/fourth/fifth term as president. I don't think he would succeed, but I'm willing to bet he'll try!
ReplyDeleteIt's a coup and the media is giving it a pass.

Hi Ceci, I just read the New York Times yesterday and they seem to be trying to get the truth out.
DeleteI dislike political memes and try to avoid them. All they do is fear monger, causing paranoia and political divisiveness, exactly the opposite of what is needed if we are ever going to heal this nation.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Can you provide your sources for the top meme being "mostly true"? I have searched high and low and can find none suggesting it is.
ReplyDeleteLike Ed, I dislike political memes but worse than that, I dislike POLITICS! Can't trust any politicians.
ReplyDeleteYes. It is true. And it is happening very quickly, so quickly, that I cannot bring myself to try to keep up with it all. I put up a post today that might help. Heather Richardson Cox sees the big picture and lays it out in an understandable way.
ReplyDeleteI wish the interaction with Canada was that smooth. I am one horrified Canadian as I listen to the man say that he will use economic means to force us to become the 51st state. It is insane. Frankly, I would condone any means to stop that. Any means. Much as I like individual Americans, just now I do not like America.
ReplyDeleteThe world is in a sad state. Folks think he is going to save them, when in reality they will most likley suffer. DEI is helpful for everyone, not just folks of colour too.
ReplyDeleteThe guy is absolutely unpredictable. I phone an old buddy every night. we talk about Trump.
ReplyDeleteMany of us Americans do not like what America has become. It is frightening.
ReplyDeleteHe is a dangerous lunatic and so are his followers/cult members. I can't believe what we've come to in this country.
ReplyDeleteHopefully from this outrage, a true leader emerges. Three years and 11 months to go.
ReplyDeleteCrazy stuff happening with Trump, all over the news worldwide
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see you wading in politically, if just a bit. It's very important that we Americans, and Canadians, and Mexicans, and the world, pay attention to what the Trump administration is doing. We were warned that he could destroy our democracy, and with the aid of Elon Musk, that's what he's trying to do.
ReplyDeletei think it is important to educate ourselves about politics...but i don't really talk about politics with anyone.
ReplyDeleteI'd read in one of the major news channels, that the repubs have aleady submitted a bill to allow more than 2 terms for the presidency. So many are explaining away his alleged rationale for all of his blab and ideas, I'm afraid the Repubs just might change that law. I don't want any one with the Trump name or his associates in office. It's very sad and sickening. The above is certainly how he operates. God save us. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteThis is truly a scary time for our country and it's sad to see us losing the respect or friendship of people around the world.
DeleteFor not following politics you nailed it with this post!
ReplyDeleteNot so rosy future shaping up.
ReplyDeleteRecently found your blog and enjoy reading it. I am surprised some commenters think they can dictate what you write on your personal blog. If they dislike what you write hopefully they won't come back.

Hello Peggy, Thank you for your kind words. I'm so happy to meet you. I actually do have the most wonderful 'blog family' here who support and cheer me on with every post. I hope you'll write again soon.
DeleteI've seen so many blogs that say exactly what you say here... that Trump is going to destroy democracy as we know it.... and I agree, he is a nasty vengeful evil man, but where are all the comments for those millions of people who voted for him? I never see any blog comments defending his actions. Weird.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you see those comments because they're probably in their own world with their own like-minded people. I'm embarrassed for our country.
DeleteTrump is a Dump-ster fire and he is trying to take us down too...with Musk in control of the purse strings.
ReplyDeleteAghast is a good word. People's lives are at risk here. And there. And livelyhood. It is awful. I am so sorry for my US friends.
