I first came to [View all]
Democratic Underground in 2002. I was outraged over SCOTUS interfering with the Florida fiasco. DU was my link to sanity as W, rummy, cheney and rice plowed US headfirst into an Invasion of Iraq under completely false pretences. I can still see W smirking face, on the eve of invasion, warning saddam not to destroy the oil fields
As disgusted as I was then, it doesn't even come close to the abhorrence I feel for the current inept, lying, arrogant asshat occupying the White House and his party-before-country horde of enablers. I fear the damage inflicted on US will take generations to repair; those generations will pay for the blind decisions made because he can pick up a phone and bark fux conspiracies as policies or a sharpie and scribble his name on some misguided idea hatched in hannity's pea brain.
DU is my refuge, my quiet place assisting my blood pressure meds. It is comforting to know there are intelligent, compassionate, thoughtful persons supporting the good while acknowledging the work needing our attention.
Thank you for being here. And especially for being here today.
