In these turbulent times, please be kind

Earlier this morning, I posted a call for the 25th Amendment to be invoked. Numerous people gave my post a like, but several others ridiculed me and told me what the 25th Amendment is about. Yes, I know. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a PhD and am a member of Phi Alpha Theta International Honor Society in History.

I heard Trump's screed first thing this morning and thought this has to end. I posted out of frustration and anger and a desire for logic, reason and ethics to prevail. I am sorry for posting while I was so upset, but I love this country and want it to return to a democratic nation that much of the world respected.

Let's please be patient with each other. These are difficult, trying times. Yes, we need to hold each other to account, but please know anger, frustration and desperation occasionally enter in.

Thanks for reading.

Hope everyone got to see Richard Painter on Nicole's show

He said this has to stop and it has to stop now. Articles of impeachment need to be filed, people need to be fired, and people need to step up now. He was impassioned, on fire, and adamant. He gave me hope.

The Hill is reporting Kilmeade is apologizing for his remarks

Must be feeling the heat. Sorry deviant - too little, too late. We have long memories.

Is anyone else having trouble streaming MSNBC?

I always listen when I'm in the kitchen, but for over two hours I've been getting a message saying "The station you are listening to is experiencing technical difficulties. The program should return in a few short moments."

Really weird.

Beware - Facebook is on the case

My husband has had a FB account for years. In the past 18-24 hours, four of his posts that were critical of Trump have been removed. So long free speech. Along with so many of our other rights, this one seems to be in jeopardy.

Edit to add - we just found another one, so that makes five deleted posts.

Is Nicole Wallace okay?

My husband and I have been concerned about her. She has scaled back on her hair and makeup which is certainly her choice and not an issue, but she seems to have lost weight. Her cheeks are a bit hollow and her neck seems gaunt. She also has red patches on her neck.

She mentioned recently that she watches hours of video regarding Trump and his antics. Certainly, that could take a toll.

Please know, i am a huge fan of Nicole's and this is in no way a criticism, just concern.

Have you noticed Trump is looking really disheveled lately?

No tie, shirt unbuttoned, sweaty looking, that insipid MAGA hat on even when he's indoors. That would seem to be a red flag for dementia, especially when a president is supposed to have some decorum. His followers will probably see it as the rebel spirit in him. It's weird.

We need to have "Impeach Now" protests ASAP

We cannot wait until the "No Kings" protests scheduled for July 17. I honestly believe it is up to us, the citizens of the US, to bring this maniacal idiot down. Our elected officials are weak, ineffectual or complicit. We need to demand action now, while we still have a country to defend.
