Indeed. Our nation has overwhelmingly become a bunch of Gordon Geckos: "Greed...is good." Or as Mr. T put it, "The golden rule--he who has the gold makes the rules."

Marilyn vos Savant said the worst bane of humanity is envy. Greed is coming up right behind it...& envy feeds greed.

"They are trained to ignore their own empathy and better instincts to dance like seals for the frozen fish flung from the tiny hands of their ringmaster."

LOVE that analogy!

Thank you, Noel!

Dear Noel... I am truly in awe of your optimism and I wish I could feel the same way. I hope with every fiber of my being that things will indeed be alright. Sadly, right now... Apart from what is happening in the US, which is bad enough... I'm looking at Ukraine, looking at Aleppo, looking at Gaza... Even in the EU, I'm not so sure we're gonna be ok anymore. 😢😢😢 Thank you for keeping us all sane, though. I love you. ❤️ Hugs from West Cork, Ireland. ❤️💖💙☘️😘

❤️ready for action.

None of what trump offers is healthy. It’s addictive oddly sweet and gets them drunk on grievances. It’s a challenge. Thanks Noel. ❤️ love you.

It never ceases to amaze me that anyone would follow a flabby, ugly, cruel old man.

I live in a red county in S Appalachia. Great folks, so why would they vote for Trump?

Racism and misogyny are why.

AND we have 70 plus churches here wherein many of the preachers

are spouting batshit nonsense.

Guess what Trumpies? He despises you. He respects dictators and enjoys tacky, shallow rich Florida People. Here the term “Florida Man” means an entitled person with no knowledge or respect for the environment.
