I just don't bother posting here much anymore. To much pain since the election.

They will allow trump because...

The GOP will continue with a blind eye to pass the most vile legislation to deprive the most needy in this country, destroy heath care, SS, Medicare and the very Medicaid that helped my dad die with some dignity at the age of 93. They legislate for one reason only and that is to line their pockets.

I am appalled at the rise of violence from white supremists. KKK and WTF? NAZIS as well. Under Don it is the norm now and the rule of the courts and the constitution is now null and void.

We are on the brink and I can only hope we survive.

Once again, thank you, Solly.
