Having a pedophile is pretty unpopular… It’s starting to rend MAGA apart. Ongoing open warfare would be much harder to hide than child abuse from 10-20 years ago though, so it would be harder for the MAGA faithful to deny.

As much as I understand the worry from Europe,

1. this would be deeply unpopular across the political spectrum in the US. Even MAGA would hate this. Who’s I do think Trump is a Russian stoog, he hasn’t yet (can’t?) consolidate enough power to do this unilaterally.
2. all of Trump’s actions seem to primarily revolve around what will benefit him personally, through his corruption of the Justice and financial systems. This would devastate markets across the world.

This strikes me as in line with the Trump administration firing/ ignoring any and all types of oversight.

If I like the show, I will read the plot of the entire series. I will keep watching it, but my husband still hates it.

I despise watching shows as they come out because I can’t stand being subject to their suspense building.

As a parent: happiness is about expectations. The exhuberance of youth can carry them as long as we aren’t preparing them for the halcyon, easy days of the 1990s. Life will be hard, it always has been, but there can still be fun and rewarding experiences. They need to know resilience, independence, and be quick on their feet both mentally and physically.

There are many Great Filters, but this one is mine (ours).
