I wanted to put into word what I felt, but I couldn’t. Perhaps I was the only one who believed like it. Turns out I wasn’t! 1988 a woman wrote down what I have been thinking and feeling all along.
One year of Trump, what is left to say, that hasn’t been said or written on my blog and so many others.

My willingness to accept him and all the backward changes he and his rich friends are making, is still zero.
