Guess we're in line for the next crackdown.
Useful idiots are doing this (I love Wyden's response):
And they have disappeared one of our guys (and several Washingtonians) while they were fighting a big fire. On the fire line.
Hey, quotas won't fill themselves.
Meanwhile, as the Alaska conference fades down our memory hole, and other "shock news" holds our attention, Kiev was in mourning this week after a massive drone attack, Macron says if Putin doesn't start making serious peace moves by Monday it will show he was just mocking Trump (he did NOT say the US -- Europe likes us even though it occasionally has issues with the government), and the president of Portugal, not being the head of government, felt free enough to call Trump "a Russian asset."
I would drop the -et as well as "Russian" and, as mentioned, think it's because the actually likeable and outrageous Donald Trump that we've known for decades is now too old for a very demanding job.
Don't know how valid all these tweets are:
Cutting to the gist of the matter, I think that, with both Biden and Trump, as well as several members of Congress, including the late Diane Feinstein, it's not them but younger people running the show.
Not to use the dehumanizing generation "brand names" that we Boomers invented first for ourselves, the real problem with this country might be that a power-obssessed cadre of our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren might be running things in all but name, with Boomers fronting for them.
And at some level the rest of us recognize this and are dealing with it as best we can, I think, trying to hold this country and its democracy together, as well as our nation's future: all of my generation's children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and those to come.
We're Americans. We'll find a way.
