Liza, more great comments from you. How do you describe a disaster in the White House? We can survive only by joining hands, joining hearts and speaking out. Your words and drawings give us hope.
We live now in planned chaos. Everything from the inauguration onward has been designed to knock us off our feet. Trump was asked at the beginning of his first term (paraphrasing) how are you managing in the midst of this hurricane going on around you? His answer was I AM THE HURRICANE. Nothing pleases him more than stirring up controversy. We must hang together or we’ll all hang separately. ( Ben Franklin)
This week I started to 15 minutes of Qi gong meditation movement each morning. WIthout it, I think I would have ground my teeth down to nothing. I have to remind myself to stop clenching my jaw. And I cannot watch national news at all. Plus, I work in the nonprofit sector, so this week has given us all a case of whiplash!
thinking of Jim Acosta- another good media person gone to better pastures.
this is a sad trend, but good media folk will keep on reaching out to us.
I live in a small town with universal problems. we have two newspapers-one, thank God is still independent. you might find this article interesting. just sent it to Ann T.

in the words of one of our late local writers, K.N.C.B. Moore-
We saw a disaster commenting on a disaster. Instead of saying sorry to the families of the victims, he did his usual rant and blame. Not the time nor the place. His handlers should have got the hook and dragged him off stage
Written by William Donovan during WWII for the Issue. This is a great DIY guide to non-violent acts against governments. Until the turn of the 21st century, it was classified.
Basically, we all need you to remain strong. I don't want a headline that reads, "Trump's Flood Zone is Stressing Me Out," though others might welcome it because, as C.S. Lewis said, "We read to know we are not alone." I don't know. When I get a whole line of stuff like today's subject line, I hardly want to look at any of it.
Once again, your drawing speaks volumes about how anyone with a conscience must be feeling but trying not to fall and scream their lungs out or throw fits of rage writhing on the floor. Forty-seven is purposefully sewing chaos; all his enablers are in on it, too. Where is Congress? Today, a granddaughter told me they are discussing patronage in her AP Social Studies class. She gets it! Michaelangelo could not have spent all of his time sculpting and painting without having patrons who supported him. - Popes and the Medici family. So, Musk and the others who have patronized 47 expect something in return. Unlike the beautiful works of art left for posterity by Michelangelo, we are left with nothing but grief, heartache, headache, body aches, and most likely empty nest eggs and bank accounts. All we hold dear is being destroyed, torn down, disassembled, dismantled, and devalued. Democracy is indeed under attack. It's all about the money but when it is our time we can't take it with us. We all need time to grieve the loss of those who died in the crash of the helicopter and plane.
Oh my Lord. Were you secretly at my house....hiding in the kitchen...while I went nuts in the family room, as depicted in today's drawing? Were you there to hear my husband ask the same question? "I thought we weren't going to react to everything trump does?" Wow, you live drew me after I read some news headlines. That's me, kicking and screaming. Yes, I did make an "I am not going to talk about that creature" vow, and yes, your drawing depicts how well I kept that vow. I Just Can't. I mean I Just Can't. I am going to copy this drawing and put it over my computer to remind me that...perhaps I am not the only one....and perhaps I am in the majority and not the minority when it comes to trying to block out "the Chosen One." Dear God, save us.
Intending no insult to respectful creatures, this man only wallows in shite. It’s where he lives. I believe after over 50 years of acquaintance, he knows nothing else. I know more of his father than mother. I wonder about her. More importantly, I wonder about his sister, a Federal Court Judge, who resigned to prevent continued investigation. How afterall does orangezilla navigate the judicial system? Surely it’s not the lackeys he hires as errand boys.
Well, he got one thing right: "We want somebody that’s psychologically superior."
Trump's response to the plane crash is indeed beyond despicable.
But what do we expect from Trump?
Let's call it as it is: TRUMP IS A ROTTEN, VENGEFUL SON-OF-A-BITCH.
Liza, more great comments from you. How do you describe a disaster in the White House? We can survive only by joining hands, joining hearts and speaking out. Your words and drawings give us hope.
what happened to the statement "the buck stops here"? Harry Truman had this on his desk.
Helen, this is a great quote from Harry Truman. "Of all the quotes found on the internet, 46% misattribute the author."

Take a deep breath. You are reacting just as he wants you too.

Yes, I hear you. I am strong, no worries!

Love you, Liza, But love, this time around, may not be enough.
Wonderful depiction, condensation of this moment.

Yeah, sticking to his norm. Beyond that and more frightening to me are the folk across the nation that swallow this whole.
