Sometimes all we need is someone on the same side. Thank you, that in the midst of personal sorrow, you've chosen to support me/us ❤️

Sorry to hear about your uncle but glad you had a chance to visit him, despite the fact that "the bugs in Portland are not insects so much as low-flying aircraft." I will be sure to let my son who will be moving out there after June, is aware of that! LOL

Thanks for the updates, though.

Always mindfully written Mary - your political sharing reminds me of that of an old friends' work whose handle when I was first becoming aware of the realities of politics when we first met and he reported the news in Boston on WBCN as "Danny Schechter, the News Dissector", who unfortunately has left this earth. God Bless your family passing, and you, and all of us painfully enduring the Trump nightmare. I believe we will know better days if we work together to honor the principles of the American Dream .

How long will it be before Trump starts wearing chestfuls of military medals, like the N. Koreans?

My image for his entire 2nd run.. has been medals and, of course, lots of gold braid and buttons.

The Wall Street Journal is ultra right, not left. Or am I missing something?

the sarcasm, probably ...

The opinion section leans right.

I was told by a lucrative source, that the cost to We the People for Trumps' golf alone is thus far, $100 MILLION Tax Payer Dollars. Shocking, if true - and embarrassing one would think, to those empowered to speak for us and defend the Constitution. Sick, sick, sick - and sad....Stephanie.

It’s not just that Trump’s psychopathology is gobsmacking - it’s that those in his inner circle still find Trump worth pampering and enabling for their own dark agendas, the “common good” and global stability be damned.

Thank you again for the gifts of truth and clarity. May your uncle’s memory be a blessing.

Condolences on the death of your uncle, and thank you for keeping up the posts at this difficult time. Tomorrow I am travelling to south Devon, England, to say the final goodbye to my own uncle. I hope to give some comfort to his elder sister, the last of that generation in our family and always my favourite aunt. She is 94. At the same time I will visit my mother's final resting place, a couple of feet away.
