44. I don't remember any consequences to trump and his toadies...

Sat Sep 17, 2022, 11:29 AM

Sep 2022

back when they were caging children and separating them from their mothers/fathers. I was just as outraged back then as I am now, but history tells me no one ever does anything about the mistreatment of these people.

Right now I am so sick of the way this country has gone for quite some time that I'm actually glad I'm in the last part of my life. Even on a personal, day-to-day basis I run into people who are just so damned nasty and hateful over the smallest things. I pretty much keep to myself and my very small circle of acquaintances and still someone I cross paths with always reminds me of just how many angry people are out there.
