that she's not spoken of before now.

I am disappointed that no one mentioned the things that were done to the Biden's on Inauguration Day. Like, Trump firing all the household staff and then making sure all the doors were locked as he and M left. Which meant not only that there was not the usual welcoming to the White House of the new President and his wife, but they couldn't even get INTO the White House!

I know, in the whole scope of things that T has done to all of us, these are small beans... but it just really puts a strong mark on how petty and vindictive the man actually is.

Wanting everything just right, nitpicking candidates for not being perfect, not voting or whining about holding one's nose and earring votes because the porridge isn't just right. It's terribly selfish and dumb.

And no whining about nobody from the campaign contacting you, sitting there waiting, whining that there aren't enough yard signs or whatever. Boo hoo. DO SOMETHING.

And the whining that begins almost instantly when a new Democratic administration doesn't solve all the country's problems immediately. "Disappointed."
