Joyce... Nice that you got some R & R ...I hope your Dad & Mom are settling in as best as they can.
I honestly think he listens to voices in his head....he's paranoid & delusional. I don't think he sleeps a lot & that is mentally dangerous, besides physically. Plus, I think his ego allows for him to throw out whatever garbage he wants & he thinks everyone will believe it. He cares nothing for the thruth. And so far, no one close to him, family, friends & staff call him out on it for whatever reason. And when you have a supporter who salutes & prays for a cardboard cutout of Tweety, well, I'm sure he feels like he rules the Universe. UGH! ....

Some days I like Lindsy Graham, with abit of caution thrown in & then there are days like today when he says yes the press is important but acting over the top with Trump & Republican Party & should tone it down....ahhh, if this was HRC in same situation they would be screaming to high heaven for coverage on her. ( I mean look at email's & Benghazi, Rep were in front of every camera & press person they could find) If it wasn't for the Press lately, a lot of Tweety's crap & his staff's, would be buried deep & never see the light of day. Even if GOP knew this they don't tell...:-(:-(...frustrating !

A free press is absolutely essential for democracy. It's also important that citizens stay informed and evaluate what they read and hear from more than once source. I truly don't understand why his irrational supporters don't see that.

The few conservative friends I have left on Facebook are going crazy defending Dumpy. I've been blocking all posts from pages like "Trump in God We Trust" that one lady keeps sharing. She is waging a campaign of sharing crazy evangelical garbage comparing Pence to God and Jesus, disgusting anti-Muslim posts with creepy sexual connotations (my God the woman is almost 80 - it hurts to see it). And of course all of us liberals are on food stamps and spend our welfare money on tattoos and cigarettes. UGH!
My book club is reading The Strength Not to Fight by James Tollefson, interviews with conscientious objectors from the Vietnam war era. I was a child then, and didn't really understand the politics of it. I remember the nightly news, radio show programs giving the casualty counts every week (America - always "winning" with the lower counts). The monks burning themselves up, soldiers in the jungle, etc. Anyway, this book is opening my eyes as to the political climate. Rigid, hard line conservative Christian right. One interview describes a trial in which the judge made the jury leave the room before the defendant was permitted to present evidence. We are moving back in that direction. Trump is going to make Nixon look like an Eagle Scount.

The few conservative friends I have left on Facebook are going crazy defending Dumpy. Actually my FB has been strangely quiet, except for a couple of die hard, can't see beyond the end of their nose supporters. I've been very surprised about that, because before the election and right after the inauguration my feed was buzzing with his supporters who were bashing everyone and everything who disagreed with him. Also bashing the press, but now it's really quiet among my conservative friends. It's almost eerie . . . I'm hoping that means they are starting to question.

Andy Borowitz 6 mins · Trump now says he got the Sweden stuff from Fox News, which is roughly the equivalent of saying his imaginary friend told him.

Just sitting here on the bench gazing at what must, from all indications, be a very full moon. You know what happens with a full moon.
