Sheβs been slammed at work with so many layoffs and is taking a break from sm.
I did let her know youβre a traveler again and have been keeping us updated with all the legal shenanigans (with no latest [redacted] talk- I think she was happy about that π)
Have fun today (and the rest of your time there!).
Canβt wait to see all your photos.
Stay safe.

Elon is not just Americaβs problem, he is the worldβs problem now. Itβs no accident that he is aligned with Vlad. Donald has two puppeteers now.

In her latest (calls it like it is) newsletter Heather Cox Richardson writes:
βIf there is one major continuity between Trumpβs campaign and plans for his administration, it is that his focus on shock and performance, rather than the detailed work of governing, still plays well to the media.β

Untouchable!
So glad to find you here. I received an invite way back when that was a thing but didnβt really keep up.
Now that there are more of the accounts I followed on the site that shall remain nameless Iβve been checking in more.
Iβm still learning my way around here. There are features I appreciate and accounts that arenβt over there π€·π»ββοΈ
π on your plea/confession rationale.
My lips are sealed. Until such time as Iβm called into action. I may need reinforcements though if it gets to be like the Spring and Summer π€£
I second that. And if Angel were here sheβd third it!
Ahem. You *know* I remember all of that!

βFor the members of this new administration, favor-trading is their most obvious skill and slick morals the defining character trait. In a normal situation, these things would be blots on a rΓ©sumΓ©. In the Trump world, consequence-free bad behavior is the rΓ©sumΓ©.β
She writes: βFor all Trumpβs claims of power, he is a 78-year-old man who is declining mentally and who neither commands a majority of voters nor has shown signs of being able to transfer his voters to a leader in waiting.β

β¦Right now, there is a lot of power sloshing around in Washington, D.C.β and notes: βThat Trump and his team are trying desperately to portray a marginal victory as a landslide in order to put an extremist unpopular agenda into place suggests another dynamic at work.β
