Thank you so much @HeatherCoxRichardson. This passage is vital and I hope more highly-visible "political opposites" who fundamentally think democracy and justice are vital lowest common denominator agreements between liberals, moderates, and conservatives in the U.S.

"On this day four years ago, I recorded that “more than 80 national security professionals broke with their tradition of non-partisanship to endorse former Vice President Joe Biden for president, saying that while they were from all…

Thank you for your writing.. It is comforting to know that all those national security professionals came together 4 years ago to stand against Trump. It is happening now among former Trump cabinet members and other members of his administration. Also prominent Republicans from other eras. Dick Cheney is in a video warning the American people that Trump is a very real threat to the survival of our democracy. Never thought I’d say this, but I am grateful to Dick Cheney for speaking out.

Thank you Mary Ann -"thank you Dick Cheney" are words I thought I'd never say either. I become optimistic when total opposites unite over a common purpose. People suffering through tragedies, neighbors and communities helping people after the consequences of catastrophic weather events -without regard to who has a red hat or a blue hat. That is the thread of hope I have in trying to inform and educate -knowing that not everyone can be reached. If people around the world could heed Carl Sagan's …

Dickie helped pave the way for chump, would be nice to hear an apology.. won’t hold my breath

He sure did. He wrote in support of of the Iran-Contra affair and thought that at times a President must operate outside the law (Chump thought that meant -all of the time).

He was at the top of my “traitor” list for so long. How could the GOP go lower??? Well, there is no longer a GOP. Gone, gone, gone

Jeri -do not challenge the former GOP to a limbo competition. Every time I think "they can't possibly go lower" they manage to surprise. With criminal Trump on top, fringe extremist Mike Johnson with the House gavel and people like Comer Pyle, effectively inviting testimony from foreign agents, I really don't know how anyone could vote for any of them.

From my years being subjected to Fox crap, I saw that they never aired so much of the repub despicable actions (during W/Dickie's fiasco). What was aired was pure fantasy, especially the Iraq invasion. Even after the Dominion verdict, they just tossed the scapegoat and kept right on with their "alternative facts." Foxers and their clones have no clue. Of course, the puppet masters know exactly what they are doing.
