Since Cheney/Rumsfeld in 2000, I have been eliminating friends and aquaintences that guzzled the Kool Aid. Some of them lifetime friends of over 60 years. My FINAL purge started early on in the Trump years. (See, I can't even call it the Trump Presidency) I may have a few more to cull, but they are living on borrowed time so to speak. Those few remaining RepubliCONs will be history the next time we make contact.

The shit storm they have rained down on the American Population has been devestating. The most fascinating aspect of the TrumpHumpers is that they have absolutely NO comprehension that the Republican Party they worship and support is screwing the living shit out of them also, maybe even worse.

This last four years especially has been a never ending fucking nightmare that has been a cross between TWILIGHT ZONE and
ALICE IN WONDERLAND..... The RepubliCONS script has been nothing short of Orwell's ANIMAL FARM at the very least.....

I have the hardest time wondering about my kids, and their kids, and maybe even their kids. The damage that has been done to the United States, our democracy, the world, the economy, the quality of Health Care, and the entire planet Earth is infinitesimal and much of it will be permanent, and it will not be able to be reversed.

We no longer have any STATESMEN...........I think it was Lincoln that said:
"A statesman is interested in the next generation, the politician only in the next election"......
