If I wasn't a wordsmith, I'd be speechless and unable to describe what's happening in America today.
The feeling of being involved in our national nightmare reality show is like sinking in quicksand. You struggle to get free from the chaos, but it's everywhere around you and sucking you into the maelstrom.
People don't know which to fear the most - COVID-19 - or Trump taking down our democracy and becoming a dictator for life?
The country is ablaze with riots and protests.
Eleven straight days of protests, and there's no sign they're going to let up. A huge protest is planned in Washington DC tomorrow. I suspect there's going to be more people showing up for this protest than there were at Trump's inauguration.
It's disconcerting hearing what former CIA and military officials are saying right now about the situation the country is in. There's no doubt... were in a crisis. Our society is teetering on the edge of a profound change.
If Trump steals this election - like he did in the last one - our republic will collapse under his autocratic rule. We'll no longer be a free society.
Keeping the country divided into warring camps is part of Trump's re-election strategy. He's the chaos candidate the alt-right has always dreamed of.
There's never been bigger or more prolonged protests in American history. Historians will look at this explosion of societal unrest as a teaching tool on what could happen if another president is elected without proper vetting.
Trump wouldn't be turning the military against American citizens today if his taxes were exposed before he got in office. If the Supreme Court forces him to turn over his taxes at the end of this month, it'll almost be too late to matter if he had committed financial crimes.
With cronies like AG Barr and Mitch McConnell, Trump will probably tie up the courts and continue to campaign for another term.
A Constitutional crisis. A pandemic. A wannabe dictator. And a national cry for equality in our democracy. There's never been a time like this before... not just in America, but in the world.

The morning gathering -
My beautiful wife Shirley is seen here with four of our five animals.
The missing cat was asleep in another room, and I didn't want to wake him up and piss him off.
Enjoying our morning coffee with the "kids" is our favorite time of the day.
**For the record - There's been seven straight days of protests in Oregon. Mostly in Portland.
