Let’s face it. About 36% of Americans are not good people. They are unethical. They call themselves “Christians”, but are racists, rapists, child-abusers, polluters, liars, thieves. And, they are the people who support Donald Trump because he is just like they are. They admire, even worship, Donald Trump because he showed the world that a criminal can become President of the United States! And this makes them feel good about themselves! They love Donald Trump, and they will vote for him no matter what! Is that enough for Trump to win the Presidency? I don’t think so, but Republicans are very clever cheaters, so maybe.

Let’s not forget that what started the Hush Money election interference case is that WHEN MELANIA HAD A BABY DONALD HAD SEX WITH STORMY D.

That is what he wanted to keep secret from suburban women. Let’s not be so distracted by the baked in crimes that we forget this.

Charlie Sykes, glad to have your writing around again.

Auggie probably doesn’t have high blood pressure or anxiety attacks. Something else we can learn from dogs.

I’ve come to understand djt gives permission for each of his followers to be the worst person they can be. Do you want to look down on brown or Black people? djt does and so can you. Do you want to be abusive to women. djt does and so can you.

And, as you pointed out, there are no new tactics. It’s the same script - only the names are changed to menace the innocent. And, of course, his favorite play: projection. Everyone is as corrupt as djt only more so.

Charlie you are a breath of fresh air and a ointment to my soul when half the country has lost their minds and I am truly grateful. And the pup pics sew it all up with a chefs kiss

While I enjoy the political missives, the icing on the cake are the pictures of Eli, Auggie and of course everyones favorite PETE!

Chalie, I see you have the same couch cover we do for our dogs. Have you figured out a way to not have it laying in a heap on the floor.... Seems like we drape it nicely over the couch, and then when I come back 10 minutes later, its a mess!

War? What war? What would that even look like? What a waste of time, energy and money for cult members to have a collective temper tantrum. It would be a war without end that would destroy the country. Where is the Mason Dixon Line? Trump is the master of chaos.

I’m very disappointed in the attacks on our judicial system by Republicans elected to protect us. Thanks for your expertise and commentary. And, of course, the doggie pictures! I’m like Pete. I’ll eat just about anything!
