Nice riff Anand.

It brought a smile to my face in these dark times. Then I engaged in my laughter yoga, which is intentionally laughing out loud. I was on a medical zoom and according to the experts, the body doesn't really know the difference between "fake" laughter and genuine laughter. The therapeutic benefits are the same. HA HA, HO HO, HEE HEE !!!

I’m absolutely flabbergasted over the willingness of folks to continue to go down this Trumpian rabbit hole of dismal agony! So damn sad!

Man! How delusional of folks like this believing in this shister! He’s got them so brainwashed and is leading them and the country into the abyss!

This, plus Joy yesterday kind of kicks me in the stomach. Both resonate strongly. One a sad truth about white supremacy and the other an apocalyptic-style warning wrapped in humor.

I appreciate the satire even if it hits a bit close to home. But since isolation starts with "I", I simply won't isolate. I feel for my MAGA relatives, but they're down the rabbit hole, not me. I have no intention of following them. I can love them from afar, but still surround myself with truth and as much joy as I can make. Fortunately for most of my family, MAGA is a four letter word.

Very, very clever. I can only hope life doesn’t come to this.

I’ve realized that only Republicans can stop this. But they won’t, will they?

Can we call him what he is: A Tyrant. Nothing less.

A tyrant posing as a televangelist.

It takes a relatively short time for newly “minted” United States citizens to vote, according to information that requires minimal processing aimed at them.

Bleak. And the fact that there are powerful people with a lot of money and influence who think becoming a serf nation is an inevitable and desirable end to the AI/Robotic tech revolution, with the tech broligarchs of course sitting on their private islands waited upon by android sex slaves and using the rendered bodies of us serfs as biofuel makes it not only unfunny but downright terrifying. Ro Khanna has spoken quite softly and obliquely about this vision and the folk in his Silicon Valley constituency who've adopted some version of it. We are under seige, and we ought to be taking note of the power brokers using the Orange Idiot toward their own arcane ends.
