A little backbone wouldn't hurt either.

    Dear trump supporters

    Congratulations.

    Not only have you contributed to the downfall of a once great and proud country, you continue to indulge in the absolute delusion that you are making said country 'great' as you piss all over the ideals and values that it was based upon. You see imagined treachery where there is none, as you ignore it where it is rotting away the foundations and principles you pathetically claim to value. You believe obvious lies as truths because they flatter your hateful and childishly self serving perspectives.

    You imagine yourselves as 'great patriots' and see an obvious and proven failure and liar as a leader and a savior. You are the most twisted, hypocritical disappointments in American history. As you claim to tout values that represent decency and morality while simultaneously betraying every single lement and thought those things truly represent.

    You are disgraceful, embarrassing, arrogant, petulant and absolute failures not only as Americans but as human beings, and we, the people who truly hold those ideals intact and in reality......

    will never...ever forgive you.

    Signed,
    The American Majority
    with sincerest apologies to the entire planet.

    1. It may be a balm to read that every morning. But they won't hear or comprehend it.

      Is "lement" actually "element"?

    2. Okay, I've used it twice now today. On FB I'm able to correct "lement" to element. I told my daughter it probably won't penetrate the hive minds of the cult members, but it makes me feel better to spray-paint a little reality on them.

  2. Did you call your Congress members today? I did. Good people in each office answered the phone right away, heard my concerns, and were wonderful. I tried to also call Speaker Paul Ryan's office. I got a recording saying that to have my voice heard I should listen to the following options, each being to choose to hear Speaker Ryan's views on something or other. It ended with a message that my message cannot be taken at this time and I should call again later. You can bet your bootstraps I will!
    Hot tip: To skip the lengthy message and go straight to VoiceMail, press 6. Good luck.

    1. I finally wrote him an email. I hope he gets flooded with them!

      Dear Mr. Speaker,
      I am a grandmother and very concerned. On Monday I heard our President give comfort to our enemy, instead of standing with Americans and the US Intelligence that came out only Friday. Given that we are in a cyber war with Russia, and our elections and democracy are on the line [and I do not say this lightly] I see this as treasonous. I can hardly believe I am having to write this message! As an American citizen, I insist that Congress immediately invoke the 25th Amendment. I tried to call your office multiple times today but you are not accepting messages. Please stand up for Americans! We need leadership and we need it now.

    2. Speaker Ryan
      H-232 The Capitol
      Washington, DC 20515
      Phone for Rep. Ryan (202) 225-3031
      Phone for Speaker Ryan: (202) 225-0600
      Fax: (202) 225-2012

      I called both the 3031 number and the 0600 number and both go to the exact same message. Bah!

  3. Yes, I got the same results with Paul Ryan. My local guys, except for Sherrod Brown are all Republican and one of them had all his phone lines changed to fax lines.

    It probably is "element". My touch typing ism't what it used to be. Oh, I use it for other purposes. You know how FB has an algorithm that the more responses a comment gets, the higher it gets to the top of the comment section. So when - say "John Brown" posts a comment insisting that Democrats are UNFAIRLY trying to unseat a president - rather than replying directing to John Brown, or even clicking a reaction- which has the same effect as commenting, I write a comment above his = "Hey, John Brown, this is for you and then I type the Kevin thing in. That way I get to have my say and express my opinion (low) without inflating his comment further.
