As I watch

The USWNT march onto the field, holding hands with all those bad ass little girls, the future, (also dad of a daughter) my heart breaks thinking of any future they have under the rule of Trump, Musk, Vance, Hogsbreath, Waters, Tuckums, and all GQP (women included). And the National Anthem makes me nauseous any more.
Show us what you are ladies!! Kick some ass.
The “She relieves Cup” (I pray they do somehow believe these day’s)

It doesn't belong to them!

I, myself get tearful, hearing it.

Same with the Pledge of Allegiance.
The last line is what keeps me holding on (usually with tears):

With LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL

That Idea of America MUST persist!

Someday I will again as I did when I served.
Right now, I kinda feel like “The Righteous Brothers”
With That Lovin Feeling.
Hope that we take it all back……soon.
