Greetings from the real upstate New York! Married (40 years), retired teacher (30 years!), animal lover, avid reader. My world pretty much revolves around my dogs and cats. Disgusted with the state of my country under Trump. Please - no DMs.

Okay, I don't believe a word out of Trump's mouth, but he HIJACKED the 9/11 memorial ceremony this morning by making it all about him - again. Naming his sycophants as worthy of mention when there are so many deserving TRUE heroes is blasphemous.

Officials say that Trump has not made up his mind on what he will do after the midterms but that he appears to be leaning toward ordering major action [in Iran].Officials also caution that Trump has appeared in the past to lean toward actions only to back off at the last moment.

Mr Axelrod, it will get worse. We are facing a man who has grasped dictatorial power on the self-stated mission of defeating "the enemy within."

No president in history has tried more swiftly or aggressively to disable every source of accountability--the courts; the media; independent inspectors general. Another late Friday bombshell expands this audacious, anti-democratic power grab.

"Trump has said in the past that he regretted not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines after the 2020 election. And in recent months, he has taken unusual steps to disrupt voting procedures in several states." NYT Cancel the bastards! EVERY LAST ONE!!

The Alexander brothers' lawyer: “They apologize to the women they insulted or offended. The evidence at trial showed virtually every woman who testified had drank some alcohol." Apparently, raping, trafficking women, some of whom were minors, is okay if the woman drank alcohol beforehand. 😡

Trump on Abdul EL-Sayed: “If Abdul and the Democrats win, they will open the floodgates and invite hordes of jihadis to our shores, creating a nightmare of violence and terror until you cannot even have a Christmas.” Anti-Islamist. Weaponizing Christmas. Nothing is too low.

On State of the Union (CNN) Dana Bash: Then if republicans win no one was confused?? Blanche had no real response, just stuttered. Then asked Bash "Why is this controversial?" If he has to ask he truly is the ignorant toady we all thought he was. Thanks for the evidence Todd!!

Dana Bash and Todd Blanche went AT IT this a.m. on State of the Union (CNN). Mainly about the DOJ lawsuit over Alaska. Blanche maintains that the fed has a right to object if there is "confusion" about the ballot. Dana: How are you going to prove that people were confused?" LOL

Fareed's Take: "The world's trust in America is collapsing. That has consequences." In 26 of 35 countries, China was viewed more favorabily than America. Some of them need America, but they no longer know if they can trust it. Who could blame them?

NYTimes: "Ukraine’s Feeling of Moral Whiplash at the Hands of Trump" The United States once declared that Ukraine’s fight was the front line in a global battle for freedom. Now the Trump administration is sending money to Moscow. Trump & Putin sitting in a tree . . . .

🔥 OBAMA: “Trump should be on HGTV. He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory…. He’s clearly not focused on lowering prices for you.”

We are living in a nightmare from which it will take YEARS to awaken. The twisted legacy will live on, and the eventual rehabilitation of our standing in the world will not come easily. If it comes at all.

Now veterans are being threatened by Trump with no reparations concerning illnesses from tainted Camp Le Jeune water if republicans lose in the midterms. First it's bribery, now it's threats. Panic is not a good look, Donald.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: The speed limits on Starlink and Starshield are still there. The speed has not been restored. And the delivery of interceptors to protect us against Russian ballistic missiles is still delayed. This is a real problem, because the Russians attack us almost every single day.

Vivek Ramaswarmy (misspelling intended) is clutching at straws while trying to justify his abhorrent ad campaign. Dig the hole deeper Vivek! You're doing GREAT! And what is going on with the top of his hair?

🎶 Bribes, bribes, everywhere it's bribes, ruining all the scenery, breaking my mind, do this don't do that, CAN'T YOU READ THE SIGNS? 🎶 WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

Ever wonder why Trump likes to speak with Marine One or Air Force One burning GALLONS OF FUEL in the background? Must be he wants to be able to say he misheard the question, deny that those were his words and further dissemble.

The company behind Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp has been hit with its largest fine ever for its business practices. Yippee!! Keep them coming!!

BBC: "US orders some diplomats to leave Saudi Arabia" So, doesn't Trump trust his buddy MBS?? We're lucky they're not coming back in body bags - if at all. Rest in Peace Jamal Khashoggi

Trump: “The Horse-drawn Carriage in New York City is a quintessential New York experience,” So sad that, for political reasons, we will see it go!” It is NOT a quintessential experience of any kind for the horse.

NYT Opinion:"Americans underestimate one particular potential threat to our economic future: President Trump’s expressed desire to interfere with and even usurp the midterm elections. Nov. 3 could be a defining test for the rule of law, and both our democracy and our prosperity are on the line."
