I want to enjoy the moment. Lately that's been difficult as we say goodbye to our Republic. I realize that as a white straight male, many haven't had my privilege. But we collectively had a fighting chance to improve. We all do better when we all do better

Hey Costo enthusiasts. Costco is closed today to honor Labor Day. Please take 2 minutes to thank them: costco.com, click small "feedback" button on right & chose "something else." I wrote "THANK YOU for honoring Labor Day!" Important to recognize good company's deeds. Still--Eff Target!

This is an accurate assessment. The orange dictatorship wants total control. He was very clear that he was going to be a dictator. He still won the election. I believe many sat out the election to punish Biden for his non-action to protect Palestinians. They punished everyone in the US & globally.
