  1. This past week and a half has been surreal. In that short time period I've watched many of the people who were smug when Trump won in November become first defensive, then uncomfortable, and then fearful.

    1. Agi Tater -- It's a surreal and frightening time to be an American. I never thought I'd see a president like this in my lifetime.

      As for the Trump supporters who are experiencing buyer's remorse, what did they expect? Trump made no secret of his intentions before the election, and the emptiness of his mind and heart were obvious. How could they vote for him?
