19. NOTHING is permanent but 'CHANGE'!

Mon Jan 12, 2026, 10:09 PM

Monday

I understand your pain and despair, but posting this kind of thing
is demoralizing to those of us who remain resolved to fight against them!

We are closer to the beginning of the fight than we are to the end of it---

on the other hand, we could be closer to the END of it than to the beginning,
because the son-of-a-bitch could DIE at any time,
and the crazies enabling him are less crazy than the demented-in-chief...

Maybe 'take a break from the news',
and sister, try to regain all the strength
which I recognize by your username
that you formerly had!

Things are ugly, they may get uglier---
but do not lose faith that WE WILL WIN in the END!

If you give that up, it only helps to allow the kind of conclusion
which we all rightly dread...
