"...we are looking at the covers of a million books written about the trump era in the future..."

...I got up this morning and I took a look at the news and I took a look at the aerial photographs of the White House and it just hit me that in this moment, iikn this week, we are looking at the covers of a million books written about the trump era in the future, and a million documentary films...




EarlG: Welp, this is what The People's House looks like as we approach America's 250th birthday

The books. The movies. The historians’ perspectives on this awful time. I’m going to be 70 later this year.

I'm 65.

That aerial scene is a heartbreaking symbol of the psychopath's ruination and corruption of the fundamental moral principles embodied in the constitution and the body of law as they have evolved on the road to a more perfect union.

The destruction of the White House is certainly not our greatest problem when people are dying in concentration camps, but the scene does reflect the horrors of the felon's "era."

I’m living thru the last ten years and want to have some peace and calm.

I want to open a news app and not see the daily bullshit from tRump.

So what she has in mind are historians looking back a few generations.

And I for one certainly won't be around!
