    I realize nobody has had much to say here for years but come on.
    Is anybody actually okay with going about our daily lives while our Country is taken over by a fascist dictator?
    Not to mention his sycophants?

    Hell no!

    But I have to give a lot of credit to the protesters of Los Angeles: Trump has been trying to provoke a riot, in order to give him a pretext for assuming dictatorial power, and the protesters have been steadfastly refusing to give him one. Sunday evening, I attended Igor Levit's recital at Disney Hall (postponed from January!), and the only difficulties I encountered were a need to change trolleys at 7th/Metro (because Union Station was closed, and the Blue Line was only running between Long Beach and 7th/Metro).

    And make no mistake: he's a puppet, and the sycophants are the ones pulling the strings.

    Oh yes! That's why I made sure to mention them.
    I just saw a video posted by a protester. It seemed to be mostly a rally and police were sitting on their cars watching.
    When our "leaders" are allowed to just plain lie, over and over, without any fact checking; what do we do?
    At least Newsom is calling him out.
