This is brilliant, and you don't know how happy I am you are in Portugal. You might want to warn the people who live in your old place in Tulsa, if you can still reach them.

Jack, thanks for the good words. You know history and its echoes as well as anyone, so this means much to me. And Melissa and Gregory still live in that place -- I warn them every day. (Actually, she warns me.)

Is Melissa coming? Next month, right?

The cruelty (and inhumanity) of this administration is the point. Dontcha know, in addition to being part of the 'radical left,' we're all pedophilies who buy babies from Wayfair so we can drink their blood? But they get their cackle's up when we present them with the truth and facts. Trump and his goons part two are giving Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi, Saddam and Qaddafi a run for their money. I gathered you didn't stay with that ex much longer after the encounter with the old man.

Reading this so late makes this easy: I align myself squarely with what everybody here has written.

Very, very good, Ba. The writing, that is; the reason for it is evil and rotten. Glad you went with Melissa instead of The Ex, I cannot imagine your having that man as an FIL. Brrrrr.

Thanks, pal. I realized there was no winning the argument but well worth having.

Yeah, the much better choice.

A compelling read. You should share to your FB page so the readers can send to the senators and representatives who never seem to grow out of their bigotry and biases. Well said.

They’ve got a taste for it now—filling in the empty cavities with body counts has them in marching mood fer sure.

Noem made sure her tight little ass was pointed directly at the inmates standing behind her in front of their multi-tiered angle iron bunks in the El Salvadoran CECOT Konzentrationslager photo.
