And much like the tower you were in (last year by now maybe?:-) we won’t be rising in one day or one month or one year. As you said, it’ll take time and tremendous effort and there will be a few wonderful moments, but likely many horrific ones. But we will keep building helping each other, looking for love and light and progress wherever we can find it. Because that is who you, and those of us who love you, really are,; it’s what we do. With you leading us 🎊💗

Can I offer you a different perspective Jo-Jo? This is the gang - as Jeff Tiedrich described them - who could screw up a fuck in a brothel. As I like to say, they're the people who flunked the IQ test low enough to qualify for membership in MAGA. They're the Broken Toys who never learned to work and play well with others. Over the past three weeks - before they're even in office - they have screwed the pooch and munched the lunch. They couldn't pass the bill they had to pass without Democrats, and Democrats aren't going to pull their chestnuts out of the fire next time. they have till the middle of the month to fix the debt ceiling and they can't elect a speaker. There's going to be nobody there next Monday to accept the vote count of the electoral college. The odds are good the stupid sonofabitch can't get sworn into office, in which case, the position goes to the Speaker - of which there is none. Assuming they find a way through this mess, they have twelve months to do all the things they have to put through Congress - with a one-vote margin - and then there's the mid term campaign.

You're forgetting this is Donald Trump - Felon34 - who bankrupted a casino!

Yes, there's going to be a lot of screaming and yelling, and they're going to be throwing their best friend through a window, and they'll be tripping when they try to pull their pants on and falling against the dresser and knocking themselves out.

At the same time, in those same three weeks, Democrats have discovered what they need to do: they're the people defending the people getting fucked over. It's already working.

It's going to be "A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

These are *Trumpers* for fuck's sake!

We're the ones who won the Civil War and beat the Nazis and smashed the Japanese.

Act. Like. It.

HAPPY NEW YEAR JOJO, I'm glad your in love, you need the red properties to win Monopoly.

We have a rocky road ahead, President Musk (trump is just a figure head) will try to get everything he wants using the figure head. Think I'm kidding? Just check his 1st term in 2016and you'll find everything he did we were told would happen by President Hannity 1 to 3 days before. Let's stand tough and together to fight this fascist administration.

You too. You've come a long long way baby. I'm proud of you. We're all going to make it, but this next fight is going to be a real bitch. We can do it if we all stick together. We will beat this. The bully muther fuckers are just too stupid to keep the rest of us in line. See you all on the other side.

Well, here we are! I've been thinking about Winston Churchill the last few days. We are in a similar situation as was Great Britain in the summer of 1940. The Nazis had just overrun France. What Churchill warned about for years had come true. Many spoke of compromise with Hitler. But Churchill inspired his nation to fight against evil: "We will NEVER surrender!" His words should inspire us now in our impending struggle. There's an outstanding documentary on Netflix about Churchill. You and the kids should check it out.

Happy New Year, Jo. And the same to the rest of this wonderful community. We have a lot work to do, a lot to endure. But we will persevere. We as a people, I believe, are on the cusp of "Our finest hour." Hug the kids for me.✌️💪🇺🇸😘

Happy New Year, JoJo. Next year may we morph the battlefield to become the bottom versus the oligarchs and their paid politicians.
