Roger Stone often cited #Nixon as his formative influence, with Nixon's resignation shaping his political identity. Nixon is why Stone brought Trump into federal politics and facilitated Russian connections.
Once #Trump is gone, how many young Americans will become political operatives inspired by his presidency the way Stone was by Nixon? If one Roger Stone inflicted this much damage, what will millions of Trump-inspired operatives mean for American democracy?
#SundayMusing: Susan holds the pen
Continuing the never-ending dialogue with those elusive characters, it is my pleasure to hand over the pen to Susan, perhaps the most sinful creation of this writer's delirious imagination. I dislike your introduction: yes, I recognise that you have placed me in situations that many readers may find distasteful. But, pray, remember that yesterday's taboos are today's fads, and, perhaps even, tomorrow's traditions.

#SundayMusing #SundaySchool redux:
Proverbs 14:15
"The simple believeth every word: but the #prudent man looketh well to his going."
Second Timothy 2:15
" #Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of #truth."
>> "Study" = check the information and facts by yourself. Then, one need not be ashamed because one does know the facts and can assess the integrity of the message.
Good morning to the guy who was trying to open the car door for 20 minutes, thinking the car key was broken, only to realize that it was the wrong car.
That was me, by the way.
One of my most favourite quotes ever, I think of often it is so apt.
"We die to each other daily. What we know of other people is only our memory of the moments during which we knew them. And they have changed since then. To pretend that they and we are the same is a useful and convenient social convention which must sometimes be broken. We must also remember that at every meeting we are meeting a stranger."
T.S. Eliot, The Cocktail Party

Good Morning Mastodone!
It's a wonderfully lazy rainy day here. I wonder how many coffees is too many coffees? Today I will find out. #sundaymusing #MorningListening #goodmornlng
I used to write poetry, and paint. Now, photography is my main creative outlet. But sometimes I've combined things.
It's taken 10 months, but I now have a more vibrant and interesting network of people than I ever had on Twitter. I'm regularly getting to see things I would not have seen over there.
Which is just confirmation that building a social group *anywhere* (online or offline) takes effort, patience, and often humility. We can't just move from one place to another and expect to keep what we had (again, applies online and offline).
For me, it's been worth the price.
