Today I am embarrassed to be an American. Our president appears to be in thrall to Russia's Putin. In the Bizarro World of the FOTUS, Ukraine started the war and Zelensky is a dictator. Meanwhile our amazingly incompetent VP lectures our European allies and takes meetings with Neo-Nazis.
I recognize this feeling. When we were traveling in Europe during the Vietnam war, we tried very hard not to be recognized as Americans, toying with the idea of attaching a Canadian flag to our motorcycle.
It's appalling that it's come to this. The stranglehold Musk and his wealth have on the GOP, with threats to primary any who don't support the agenda, has effectively put an end to democracy.
With all the information and technological expertise at his fingertips, Musk is capable of re-making our reality.
Where are the brave men and women in Congress who will take a stand?
(I was happy to read that Tillis (R, NC) did a bit of pushback on the FOTUS's lies about Ukraine. Speaking on the Senate floor Tillis called Putin a liar and a murderer and said we should treat him like one. Well, okay! --Tillis occasionally locates his spine.)

Such an easy takeover.
Indeed.
And now Kash Patel is in charge of the FBI and ready to use it as trump's weapon against his "enemies." I am more disheartened every day. Our only hope is the mid-terms -- almost two years away.
It's a dark day in the US, and I fear for all the people who've been fired, and their families. Tillis is finally saying what his constituents want him to, but I'm afraid it's too late. At least at this point we can still get news of the shameful actions of the M&T team.
Assuming we still have democratic elections by then.
By the way, Happy Birthday! Life must still go on and good things must still be enjoyed.
Very sad times but they won't silent my voice.
Thanks, Jayna!
