On the Matt Schlapp ask about impeachment, after

actually seeing it, I sensed the audience was ready to cheer, regardless of the question. The tepid response in the repeat exhibited the slightest of inward reflection.
Am I off?

A thought: we have never had a successful audit on

Pentagon expenditures. The Secretary of "War," has bragged about the superiority of our military.
Part of our military operations is in the world of quartermasters. They are certainly the best.
Perhaps we could get them to come up with the means to accommodate the president's request for $200 billion from the monies already outlayed or assigned.
We have characters in our movies and books who do just that.
Let's here it for the quartermasters coming to Hegseath's rescue.

A thought. Had we really partnered with Ukraine,

we would have learned how they advanced to modern warfare.
Putin is another story.

Went to a David Jolly stump speech sponsored

by North Tampa Democrats. Full house, around 200.
He was dynamic, energized and spot on.
Presented plans on housing and insurance. Get rid of private hurricane coverage and use the state catastrophic plan designed by republican legislature to eliminate the carrier fees. Save us all a lot. We already have $8 billion in house and could get it to $30 with good management. Insurance companies would hate it.
Pushed for expansion of Medicaid and also county health clinics that already exist. They have been restricted by republican tightwadedness. The system exists, just needs a release of funds. Better health for Florida.
Lastly, lambasted the cultural destruction of education. Called out the double dipping of the voucher system. Planned to improve teacher pay and bring back the books. Let teachers teach.
Did not mention the elephant and did not ask for money.
He sees the energy and the movement and called on Democrats to rise to the occassion. Recognized he was going to need more than Democrats as there are fewer of us after the blue dogs turned red.
Sharp and patient in the Q and A.
Hopeful.

Most sickening SOTU ever.

Hate to think about it.

Is trump playing Rameses II? Is that how Rameses parlayed his plastered, hyerogliphic, control over the money?
Trump needs a legacy. The good? The bad? It'll all be gone by morning.
Unless he plasters his name.
Will our descendents revel in his name/legacy?
