It's a bullshit hit piece. Other than that - it's fine.

Oh, Dear Adrienne... The Donald has a lot of faults. I think we all know that. It was fun to vote for him back in '16 and to watch Progressive heads explode when Hillary LOST. It was fun to watch the Progressive freight train come to a screeching halt. It was fun to see the look of disbelief on Hillary's face and on Pelosi's face on election night. It was somehow satisfying to watch Progressives cry in the streets when the realization that Hillary lost became apparent. I believe deep in my soul that Trump was a much better choice than Hillary was. And I have to say that I believe he was a better choice than the Harris-Biden ticket that we are now going to be forced to endure... I believe that this next administration has the potential to do enough damage to America that they could make the obama administration look like amateur destroyers while doing it. I think that Trump did a lot of good for America and for the world. Sadly, I believe that a lot of the good he did was based on the sheer force of his personality and his stubbornness rather than on his genius and astute political abilities. I think there was some luck involved. There was a glimmer of Statesmanship a couple of times. As time went on he became his own worst enemy, and that is sad. The media is sympathetic to the Left and the personalities, programs, and policies of the Left. Trump isn't "one of them" and they were never going to allow him to stay. He didn't stand a chance. He threatened to actually drain that swamp, and they would never accept that. Neither side. Because both sides are part of that swamp. And I believe that that swamp is bigger than anyone ever expected. And it feeds too many big and powerful 'gators that may be casting major influence that controls politics... I said early on that I hoped our Conservative employees in the House and Senate wouldn't stoop to the depths that the Progressives did during President Trump's administration, to basically stop Democracy while fighting the President who crushed their Progressive dream, if President Trump lost the election. But, honestly, when 'ol Dementia Joe called for "Unity and cooperation", something snapped inside of me. My hope now is that President Trump has a good life after the Presidency. He deserves it. What's more is that I hope America and Americans finally see what is going on with the Progressives and how badly they want to control in every way the people of our nation. They are part of something bigger and more devious than they can imagine. I think some are starting to see that. I'm not conflicted about President Trump. There is certainly a lot to think about, and the thinking needs to happen quickly. The Progressives want to eliminate completely the political influence of those who don't belong wholeheartedly to their "cause". I think the article identified and defined that quite well... The one thing that President Trump was 100% right about was the fact that they aren't really after him... they are after us. Anyway, Love you, Dear Girl. Peace.

...and I meant to say that the media is controlled by, and sympathetic to, the Left... The controlled by part is important.

And I am not surprised that we are here. When gauging the attitudes of our Progressive friends on the fb we see that they are still a bunch of smug, arrogant, myopic, lying, lazy, mindless bunch of pricks. ;) They think that they have won... The next part of our journey will be interesting, Dear Adrienne. The Conservative giant isn't sleeping any longer.

It's about to get real, Blue.

I believe that you are correct, Dear Adrienne...
