In reply to dyannedillon. Comeuppance at the mid-terms! Nothing Pollyanna-ish about it, just determination! There are SO many weasels to flush out. Thanks for writing!

That $1.50 a week doesn’t begin to cover the rise in our insurance premiums. Paul Ryan is a weasel. I have been despondent since the election, but the Pollyanna in me KNOWS The Orange One and the rest will get their comeuppance some day, hopefully sooner rather than later.

In reply to Nancy Strelau.

I know just what you mean, Nancy! RFK and MLK–and even Stalin!–must be turning in their graves. I have found a good outlet by canvassing with Swing Left once a month in our nearest Republican-represented House district (you have to travel a bit in these deep blue parts–I imagine upstate New York is a bit redder). It helps a lot to be engaged. I try to really limit the real estate DJT occupies in my mind. I’m actually more disgusted with and alarmed by his congressional enablers, and changing Congress is the most effective remedy.

Anyway, who would have thunk any of this when we were sweet little girls at Vinson-Owen Elementary School? How could we be fuming, let alone suffering from insomnia (which menopause brought to us long before DJT). Thanks for writing, great to hear from you.

Brava!…I promised myself that I would not let this happen – but I did. I stayed awake fuming seemingly all night because of Trump’s parade, his Stalinist approach. I spent the night summoning up Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King. I spent the night chastising Trump in my mind, but knowing I have no outlet in which to vent and take the American Politic by the collar and shake it to its core.
