I think of you always, you do know that!

I pray you are as well as can be.

I keep having difficulty realizing what our American way of life has devolved into. Personally and corporately.

Love always in all ways to you and yours...

💛 💐 🌈

I wish you the same, that you're keeping well and safe. I feel very lucky to be here in New York, pretty much everything's closed except for groceries and gas stations - and those require masks. I did manage to see my dentist yesterday, she's only seeing a few patients one at a time, but my tooth was bothering me so she took X-Rays and put me on an antibiotic, told me I was right to come in. I'm lucky to have her, too - I've seen her since the '80s and she's treated my whole extended family.

And I know what you mean, if I allow myself to think too much about what's going on, I start to feel panic - and it's long from over yet. But I'm also lucky that I can remain at home as advised, only going out of I really have to. It's not much fun, but I remember to take it just one day at a time - and my dog appreciates the company. Stay safe and keep well!

what I am seeing the republicans and Fox News pushing is just so bat-shit crazy it takes a comedian to bring their insanity to light. You can't make this shit up. There is no way to even argue against these people logically. Ridicule is the only weapon we have.

Seth did a great job and I am so grateful for him and the others for shining the light on the madness of the right-wing nut cases who are constantly trying to gaslight people in this nation that their warped reality is the truth. Sometimes I just want to scream!

Anyway, thanks for posting Rhiannon! Well done, as usual! Much appreciated!

It's gotten so I cringe at the news so often, it takes the late night comedians to calm me down again - since they seem to feel the same way that we do and they're speaking out! That's why I started posting them when I couldn't take Trump news anymore (2017!) and they cover the issues that we need to know about without having to listen to RWers (for "balance" ) or Trump!
