The Judiciary branch IS holding!

We're almost there.

The Judiciary branch is strong and WE. WILL. HOLD"
May 2019

A few weeks ago, a dear old friend, a Republican-appointed federal judge, trying to console me during a moment of despair about the future of our country, said to me “The Judiciary branch is strong and will hold.” When I expressed skepticism, he leaned toward me, looked me dead in the eye, and said as firmly as he could without shouting: “We are strong and WE. WILL. HOLD.”

Staying off of social media does wonders for one's health - emotional and otherwise.

Got hooked back in Tuesday evening. Gotta cut down again. You got it right when you said emotional and otherwise.
