18. I think there's a lot going on behind the scenes

As in this war is not going well or is not going as Grandpa's delusions forecast. The blame game has already begun; Vance is the latest scapegoat candidate. Guess blaming Zelensky didn't get off the ground. Trump is screeching about munitions, how we have enough to last forever despite reports that our supplies are dangerously low, so low that we won't be able to resupply our Arab allies over time. And then, there's the fact that support for this war is at 27% across the country. My husband read that at the end of Vietnam, American support was sitting at 29%.

Astonishing. But then again, not so much. The American public is sick and tired of these pointless wars of choice and ambition.

Oh, and btw: Epstein is NOT going away.
