Sunday - still hot, but it's August so that's not unexpected. The Repulsive Republicans are ready to starve the unemployed

Sundays such as today tend toward chores and errands. A toilet seat needs to be replaced, screens repaired, paperwork and more paperwork. Yet everything gets done and the day winds down so that I can stop and think for a moment.

I am getting ready to start writing fiction again. A couple of story ideas are percolating through my brain and when they finally arrive in my hands and fingers, I will put them on paper. I enjoy writing, otherwise I wouldn't be practicing by writing a short piece for the blog every day for the past three months and more. But this hasn't been fiction, this has been about surviving the worst of the pandemic in the NYC region and then coming out the other end full of righteous indignation at what the so-called leader of this country is doing to all of us, and all those who are his enablers, and the zombies who follow him. 

He is an enabler himself. He gives permission to racists, bigots and the most selfish people to express themselves and act on their hatred and bigotry. He stands as an example of everything that is wrong with America and Americans, and we need to confront this side of ourselves, and overcome it, becoming better people and making our nation a better place. We will never eliminate racism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, religious bigotry and hatred, but we can make it less acceptable, we can teach our children, our neighbors, our relatives and our elders that when everyone is accepted, we all are, and we all have more. It's not a zero-sum game. Everyone contributes and it all adds up to more.

We can welcome the refugee, the migrant and the immigrant. We must make space at all of our tables for those who live alongside us but we've kept them outside until now, the descendants of slaves, the native Americans, and the first step is to take back our country from the wannabe tyrants who control much of the government right now.

Not able pass legislation he wants because the Repulsives lost the House and have a scant majority in the Senate, the sTrump'et tries to rule by fiat. His imperial edicts, though, are one after the other challenged in the courts, delaying their actions. Many are stopped, many are allowed but they are all revocable when a new government takes power next year. 

The Doofus Donald wants to become King Boogers for Brains the first. We are going to make him a one-term president and whether he likes it or not, he'll be out and facing some serious consequences for his actions as President and before.

A friend of mine one quipped, "beauty might only be skin deep but ugly goes to the core."

So people of good will, good Americans all of us, vote this year and vote the ugliest man who has ever served as president out of office and into prison.

Unelect Trump and his band of Repulsives.

Take back America - make America American again.

And now a few photos - more things I see, including signs.
