I thought I'd get that out of the way right now, although in 2016, that's probably the equivalent of tempting fate ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness, hi!

Also, $1/500 words is hingway robbery indeed.

Thanks for your card - I have something I want to send you, but I'm being shy about it.

I'm so happy you checked in! I think about you all the time. Glad you are okay, in what passes for okay in this whacked-out year. Wishing you, too, a good 2017 and successful publishing!

If this were anyone other than Donald Trump, who threatened to use federal law enforcement against an innocent woman because she made him look bad in debates, who is refusing to abide by the Constitutions emolument clauses, who's claiming that since the President is not included in particular conflict-of-interest laws, he can't *have* any, then I would say that, yes, the next four years could be rough.

But for Donald Trump, I feel the correct attitude is that we have a big struggle ahead of us: to hang every ugly Republican attitude around his neck, and every Trumpian attitude around the GOP's neck - using the simple truth as the weapon.

I'm not asking you to agree that we should look toward a struggle, in the hopes of breaking the metaphorical backs of both Trump and the GOP and hopefully see them out of power before four year are up. But that is how I feel, and I feel that it's long past time that we stopped allowing Republican rule to be normalized until they are sane again.
