Nov 13

and I say that with the utmost sadness. You and I have no power. We were always told the ballot box was our power. Well, that's to be taken away. And, I stand convinced, it was taken away from us with this election, itself. Unless those in power push something we're sunk. And frankly, I think most of them are too afraid of what trump would do to them if they opened their mouths or tried to initiate any action.

Anyone remember the one congresscritter some years back who refused to recognize the inauguration of the candidate? I want to think it was Bush they were protesting, specifically because it was SCOTUS who put him in and not the people. It was a female. ONE lone female. Anyone else remember what I'm thinking of? Anyone thinking we'd have anyone willing to stand up for our country and do it this year? I wish I did.
