“Why is everything taken at face value?” she asked. “You can’t give him the benefit of the doubt on this and he’s telling you what was in his heart, you always want to go with what’s come out of his mouth...."
This explains everything. It's the new world order. We aren't supposed to listen to what our next prez says or believe our lying eyes when he acts. Kellyanne will tell us, for the next 4 years, what our prez really means and thinks. I see. If I could block him from my thoughts and off the pages of the news I follow I would do it.
Since I seem to be blogging again -- but only in the early (this is early to me) morning when I first read the news -- I wonder if I can restrain myself from posting about politics. I'm gonna give it a try.
The picture is some impromptu wall art that my daughter made on New Year's Eve at a small party. She's not taking this whole election sitting down. She's mad as hell and not getting over it.

I will be at the Womens march on January 21st. My son, a friend and her daughter will be there as well. An 87 years old friend from Lions will be there as well with her daughter.
I find all of this so discouraging, but my 30 year old daughter is very fired up too. I think women her age have taken much for granted, and now are seeing that they will have to fight.
So proud of Becca! I'll be at the San Francisco march on Jan. 21, with my pussy hat on. And I'm knitting "pussy hats" to ship to friends in D.C. for the march too. Gotta get out there and be counted!
Facebook siphoned off my energy for posting photos and thoughts because it was so easy. Now it's sucking away my faith in humanity.
Let's use blogging to reconnect with thoughtful storytelling and observation, and find things to celebrate!

P.S. I have a pink hat on my needles for next week in Denver.
Peggy, so glad to hear that you'll be in town for the March. And with an 87-year-old! Inspiring.
Margaret, discouraging is right. An understatement even.
Margo, I'll be thinking of you and SF on the 21st. A city that knows how to put on a march. And your pussy hat too! My sister made a bunch and sent me 9 so I'm giving them away to other people who are going.
And Kitt, so glad to hear from you! Yes, FB has that kind of power I believe. Siphoning and sucking as it does. I've been thinking about "thoughtful storytelling and observation." If I aim only for observing I think I can do it. Blog I mean. Thanks for the encouragement. Another with the pink hat!
You're one of the only people I read with political opinions - except for Margaret and Helen. I'm not even reading that much now since it's all so depressing. I have not yet installed the app that replaces the orange idiot's picture with kitten pictures though. Perhaps I should.
And Hi! I'm finally catching up.
