Knock on Wood

The President of the United States is a corrupt and treasonous criminal. He does not care about you – at all. His promise to send you $5,000 if his party wins the midterms is a lie. He is in the office only to stay out of jail and enrich himself and his family. On Tuesday, vote to save the country.

It may be too late, but we gotta try.

I sure would love to see every American WordPress blogger who agrees post a similar message for the midterms. These are not normal times. “I don’t do politics” is a bit of a cop out at this point.

      2. Yes, but the House can launch formal investigations and potentially impeach him (again). But yeah, he can still issue his stupid orders. He’s basically working without approval from Congress now, but the Democrats will hopefully fight back against his total lawlessness.

  3. Love the big woodpeckers! Beautiful creatures. ❤ I tend to do my political statements via IG, but write about my bent often enough here to lose subs on the regular.

    1. The big ones are crazy! And so loud—like actual power tools.
      I say good riddance to those subscribers. (I’ve unsubscribed several people from my blog based on their comments.)
