@Daojoan I used to despise Bill Maher when I first became an independent libertarian…..the older I got, the more many of Mr. Maher’s views made sense! I called him a “dick” many times…but now the people on the “right” are pretty dickish! Thanks for letting me vent….

Our baptismal covenant in the #EpiscopalChurch includes the following:

Q. Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?
A. I will, with God's help

We fail continually, but that's a vow we reaffirm at least 3 times/year

@Daojoan This t-shirt exists for a reason. (I do have to say; nothing I ever wore before or since attracted more compliments or positive comments.)

I don't know how internationally we get back to trusting the USA?

I don't really mean what Trump has done, he's a world class piece of shit. I mean the fact #USA could elect him twice and nobody checks his madness. Whether ICE Gestapo gangs at home, let's invade Greenland or WW3 wars.

America has become a trash TV reality show parody version of itself.

Bemused thoughts from the UK. Hope USA public can come up with something because your institutions appear useless.
