    Living here in Merica, I can see people's attitudes changing a lot. Less excitement for the future, less vacation plans, and general concern for just about everything. And those are from natural-born citizens with Thai and Hispanic friends getting a lot quieter and reducing social media posts. People are generally feeling that the USA is less friendly these days. More than a feeling, I think it is true.

    That said, I did have the misfortune to sit next to a staunch Teflon Don supporter for 45 minutes the other day. No amount of facts would dissuade him from his idolization of the Felon. Crazy thing was, he thought Jeffrey Sachs was a MAGA man. I had to explain to them that Sachs thinks the orange one is as dumb as a post as I do. I asked him if he knew that Trump had threatened witnesses in several of his trials? Do you know of the 13 year olds that his buddy Epstein and he were accused of molesting? All lies he said, and I told him to go look up the official court affidavits to see what I am missing. So, the cult goes on. His parting comment was "So....I guess you don't like Tucker Carlson either?"

    Trump is destroying what America was, that is for sure.

    I have a couple of Thai friends who came here on student visas, a little over 10 years ago, and never left. They’re both married with kids, and their husbands are undocumented, from Mexico.
    They are petrified.

    Most are just too stupid to know they’re stupid.
