"It's been Like That Since the Election." That's the phrase that is so scary: [thenation.com]

This is clearly an action to make a big deal out of! I simply can’t trust anybody that is part of this Administration! Where people once had ethics and morals...that seems to have changed...ethics and morals mean what a lot of people want them to mean! So a portion of us are left trying to figure out, how to keep our life together, if we can’t lie, cheat and steal and bully, with that ‘in crowd!’ 😖

Is Trump looking for the comfort zone?

Freedompath comments on Aug 3, 2020:

I wonder if Dr Birx, is trying to present our dilemma in a way that will not draw trump’s ire and at the same time get the message to the American people, that we must keep up the vigilance, this pandemic is still going strong! (She may be very concerned that trump will fire her and America will be worse off.) But trump is unpredictable at best and off in ‘never, never land at his worst! Americans are going to have to keep watching/listening to scientists and save ourselves! Those people that are determined to hang onto trump’s killing coat tails will need to have their life in order, in case they don’t make it! There is little else that can be done!

And, I fear that part of the reason is, I will have to part with them sometime in the future! And I can’t do it. I was crying when I took them back after a week! I am so sorry your hurting over the loss of your dear friend, and Gunther was your friend! Just cry your tears and soon you will get to a better place. That is all that can be done now! 🤗😪 ♥️

And how this is possible is beyond me because the PO belongs to the people, not the government! But, on the other hand we are loosing our government to criminals that we can’t stop, so if we don’t start screening, we are going to end up in who knows what, next!

And his power hungry Republican minions, will fall in line, because they want the power more than anything written in our Constitution. We need to be protesting now! Trump has already put in place actions on dismantling the Post Office! This is a fact and happening at this very moment!
