Our message needs to be less about what’s wrong with T and more about wha’s right with Dems. Trashing the competition is not a strategy. It just leaves a vacuum. We are our own worst enemy. Every lib wants their personal priority to be top of the national agenda. Or else.

Today I got email chastising me for not responding to a recent donation request. It is very manipulative “Goodbye Sherry…Goodbye….” . It went on to say the senders “thought all good Democrats would donate” inferring that I am a bad Dem. Is this really who we are?.

So my dog and I hv been sleeping for two days now - me b/c I hv 2 broken ribs and her b/c she’s a dog. This morning, all of a sudden, I swear she raised her head and yelled “Who are you?” while looking into the hall. Then she lay back down and went back to sleep.

Dear Dems: please stop the drama 0hyperbole, the tacky posters. T is the all time champ for his kind of politics. We can’t beat him at it. The Dem story is all over the map. Use resources to create targeted, unified MARKETING pieces that we can all repeat as “What Dems will do”.

One of the scary things about getting old caught up w/ me yesterday. I fell when I went to bathroom in middle of night ☹️. Two cracked ribs but per doc they should heal w/o problems. Other than that, I’ve got aches & pains that hopefully will remind me to change my stressful ways.

Bottom - is being a US Congressman is a job. One with a good salary, a staff, better health ins, retirement & other benefits than rest of us-& opportunity to make a fortune from appearances, books, consultancies, etc. I think many genuinely care. But the system is not working.

A rainy Independence Day in my part of Texas as the heavens weep.

To try to save their jobs, America’s federal elected officials are voting against what they were elected to do. Another “day of infamy” but this time the perpetrators are the people we pay to keep us safe.

Nothing the Right has accused ANYONE of is as illegal as their failure to uphold the Constitution.

If Madoff were operating today, I wonder if MAGA would vote for him for prez - because he was “such a good businessman.”.

Does it feel like US is living in parallel realities? On one hand the govt is in the process of enacting things that will dramatically change our lives. On the other life is going on as normal. Vacations and recipes and sports and TV shows etc.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t scared.

Political parties are groups within a country, not separate, independent entities from the country. Voting for what is good for a political party but bad for the country is like cutting off your hand to keep your fingers warm.

The US has more guns & more gun violence than other countries. Others hv more effective gun control but doubtful that’s the whole answer. The diff must be related to the same social, cultural, & educational, structures that made it possible for someone like T to become prez.

What do you want for your family? .For yourself?. Don’t tell me what you don’t want other people to have. No whining or finger pointing or insults. Just share your dreams. For yourself your kids, your best friend. No matter how impossible it may seem, what are your dreams?.

Dear Fellow Americans( (Conservative & Liberal): We are being manipulated? Lied to. You are not my enemy & I am not yours. The strategy is to pit us against one another while they impoverish and enslave us.Ask yourself, “Who benefits? Who is getting richer?” . It sure isn’t me!.

The money that funds the budget comes from us. It’s our money. It does not belong to the President or Congress. Why do we tolerate their treating our money as their property? Why are people who are violating the Constitution and rule of law still in their jobs?.

RT @thetonymichaels:

How is disrespecting each other working out? Name calling? Insults? Nasty memes? Ridicule?.

To paraphrase the late great Otis Redding, the only way we can save ourselves - and maybe the world - is to “Try a Little Competence.”.
