Thank you for keeping up with me, Laina. I truly appreciate your support. Peace and love is winging its way across the country to you. We’re good at handling messes, my dear.

I won’t even turn on my phone tomorrow let alone the television. I can control what to see and hear better that way. I feel so badly for those people who are so afraid right now and there are many. I feel that sexual harassment in the workplace is going to return with a vengeance because no court will prosecute and corporations feel no compunction to follow the law. I would not shake that bastards hand for any price. I despise him and the whole ilk of Elon Musks. They are evil and wear it for everyone to see. I moved to Europe to escape the toxicity of America in 2022 and I daily feel so happy to have gotten out of there before this criminal gang comes in and operates with impunity. It is a very sad day in America and I just hope that the idiots running the place will screw over the magas to make them finally see that they’ve been used as stooges for over ten years, but I’m not counting on it. God help all Americans who do not want to see their country destroyed.

Wow, Gayna, you made a smart move it seems. Thank you for reading my rambling from wherever you are now.

I, too, will hold thoughts of MLKJr and watch puppies and kittens on Meidas Touch, here on Substack, Bluesky, YouTube, and probably more platforms that haven't been mentioned.

Yes, Gayla. Thank you for confirming that we still have some ability to control our input.

Think crowd size and the photographs that would be compared to previous Democratic inauguration.

Absolutely, Carle. And for any Seinfeld fans, I hope you caught my double entendre.

I find it increasingly difficult to even talk to people who voted for this individual. What I have observed though is that he OBVIOUSLY suffers from mommy/daddy and anger management issues and attracts people with the same. He is their mouthpiece and that is why his supporters are so damned stubborn and blind to the reality of what is going on. He makes tantrums acceptable.

Now it looks like he has it all set up to 'miraculously' save TikTok and win over even more blind masses.

Good morning, my faithful reader. I’m glad that I never got into Tik-Tok. At this point getting less connected is my goal. Peace and love to you in my favorite city.

Don't know if it is helpful, but RUSSIA help DumDum win. Not necessarily American voters.

It was posted that the e-poll books were attached to Musk's Starlink.

It was possible.

Timothy Snyder's book "On Tyranny" has helped.

His second book is, "On Freedom."

I'm in agreement, no media tomorrow except to celebrate the life of MLK jr. And I'm going dark on Fascbook as of today. Will only use it to check in relatives occasionally. No more posting. I'll be on Bluesky from now on. Stay well/warm and hang on. It's gonna get messy.
