Congratulations to us

I think most of the people who read this blog are probably aware of this famous quote:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out--
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,and I did not speak out--

Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak for me.

I have just reviewed my posts since I changed the purpose of this blog to reflection and commentary, and I see that I have not yet shared one of my favorite post-Trump-election reactions.

First they came for the Muslims . . .

NOT THIS F**KING TIME!!

I'm so heartened by how many people in so many areas of life are not sitting back and letting Trump do whatever he wants to do.  Most recently I notice that the NSC has been restored to the membership it should have, including removing Bannon.  And I have been informed that the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) currently has an approval rating of 55%, UP from 42% before the election.  (source - Gallup Poll)  Good job, everybody!  Let's keep saying NOT THIS F**KING TIME!!
