Most Americans with a brain are "afraid of him". He's fucking nuts!
We all watched January 6th. We all saw what you did!

Threatening our nation's electoral poll volunteers and anyone that donates to an opponent's campaign is about as unAmerican as one can be.

Trump went on to threaten a wide range of the kinds of people who would face prosecution and prison time, including campaign donors and those involved in administering elections.
“Please be aware that this legal exposure extends to Lawyers, Political Operatives, Donors, Illegal Voters & Corrupt Election Officials,” he wrote, adding that such people will be “sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”
We may not be perfect, but he's nuts!

The Washington Post ran a story titled: "Kamala Harris ran her office like a prosecutor. Not everyone liked that." It goes on to list a number of people that left her staff. A few didn't blend with Harris' high standards she set for her team. I'm so fed up with her being judged on a different scale because of her gender. It made me recall this image. I can only cancel my WAPO subscription once sadly.

If you can do one, you can do the other! Because fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy and needs feeding. And soon, Your Honor, with banners flying and drums beating we’ll be marching backward — BACKWARD — to the glorious ages of that sixteenth century when bigots burned the man who dared bring enlightenment and intelligence to the human mind!”
— “Inherit the Wind”
(Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee, 1955: Act II, Scene I.)
“Can’t you understand that if you take a theory like evolution and make it a crime to teach it in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools? And tomorrow you may make it a crime to read about it? And soon you may ban books and newspapers. And then you may turn Catholic against Protestant, and Protestant against Protestant, and try to foist your own religion upon the mind of man!
This is perfection!

Interesting article on the political origins of Donald Trump. Learned some new things today from Andy Borowitz.

Had the great fortune to see one of my favorites tonight in Philly. I’ve seen James Taylor play several times over the past three decades and he still brings it! Lots of great tunes! Thanks James!
