Never, ever surprised any more.

I'm not surprised by your absence of surprise.

Hello @Pedro Subrosa. How are things in your corner of the world? We are losing our freaking minds.

Things are pretty darn good in Canada but heading into a recession thanks to you know who. We're still boycotting US goods, vacations, etc. No way I'd set foot in the US under current administration. I could pass for Mexican or indigenous and find my ass in a third country prison. Ha. I have to remind myself fairly often that the majority of US citizens are good folks. Take you, for example.

Recession is far preferable to Repression.

Yep, the rest of us Americans are suffering as well. Heads down, moving ahead, knowing that just as we survived the BS of the bushies....we'll survive this. (and I was personally affected by 9-11 as well!)

The Bushes were nothing compared to this. We (democratic citizens) are down for the count, and the count is just about up.

@tomgrzybow I totally agree with you Tom.
"The Bushes were nothing compared to this. We (democratic citizens) are down for the count, and the count is just about up."
Republicans are just a few steps away from FULL NAZI MODE. What will they be doing for the next three years!!!
If I has children at home, I'd pack them up, and we'd get the hell out of the US.

Good!

@tomgrzybow Amazing how so many Democrats just don't realize the absolute seriousness of the situation.

But yes, he’s giving a gut punch to the whole world.

@Katherine Bond, we've got a liberal Liberal federal government and in our own province (BC) we vote for a center left party that's currently in power. In grassroots democracy, working with a neighborhood committee to fight our rural Regional District government over a $33 million loan for our water system. Otherwise, we'll go from $1200 a year to $12000 annual water bills. And each household will pay back over $250,000 over 30 years. Fuck no. Our committee ran a poll and we've got 74% of the vote to defeat the loan assent referendum (50% + 1). We organized 242 households with laptops and email lists. Gratifying to rediscover where the real power is -- the individual vote and uniting for a common cause. Not with B-team bureaucracts.

Power of The People - and Power of The Pussy. Boycott their sources of money. Stop aiding, abetting, comforting, supporting and having sex with REPUBLICANS. Natural Selection - Breed them out of existence.
