Your dad looks like a sweet man.

I was thinking the same thing! Looks full of life and love.

Just what I was thinking! He looks so sweet and normal, and nothing like you-know-who.

That's exactly what I was thinking! He must have felt like he got born into the wrong family.

Sometimes it those men that get abused the most by bullies even women. I always wonder how it happens? We know for a fact DJT is a bully check out the post what the Scum wrote ON X OF HARRIS& CLINTON

Americans should be outraged. I will not repeat what he wrote. It was disgusting. MUSK is a coward for not taking it down. All GOP FORWARDING IT. Why are they that low? Sorry the caps. I shake pretty bad they go on & off Please forgive me. Rewriting it I lose my thoughts.

Well I am going wish I would’ve went to the DNC how fun that would’ve been but I think I managed to get sick without going must’ve been on the TV. I hope you get well. Mary take care of yourself. God bless America Harris/Walz 2024 Republicans seem like they’re going to cheat. In Texas into a couple of peoples were harassed by Paxtons men at 6 AM one house to get a woman that’s running for office phone scared her child.

The other was an 87 year old woman. They search her nightgown her underwear, they broke her door down actually Its posted on YouTube in an interview Horrible that state is get worse. Sad

Take Care ALL

I can't understand how any of it is happening in this country I've loved & honored for 78 years!

It's all so sad. I remember how proud and hopeful we felt as kids in school late 50s, early 60s. '63 was horrific and heartbreaking. The Beatles helped and the late 60s and 70s felt truly optimistic in so many ways. Now, it's like a perfect storm of all that could go wrong and it's a very long and frightening list.

It would help if you were more gentle in your comment. The meaning and intent is clear enough that I am able to “decode” the errors, professor.

You most definitely have found your courage in writing and sharing with all of us during these very difficult times. I hope for you, like Anne, it helps some of your sorrows disappear. Feel better soon!

Dear Mary, I hope and pray you’re recovering quickly from Covid, and so sorry you are sick! Wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your commentary and this Substack/narrative!! I’m kind of maxed out on subscribing to Substacks, but I can’t tell you how much so many of them have been important to me so I’d like to offer you my assistance? I’m a lifelong Republican who hasn’t voted for a Republican in 12 years or more (except in primaries against the leading candidates!) ! But I also come from an incredibly dysfunctional family, and so I have a special understanding of your plight! I’ve thought many times that if I wrote a novel about my family and what they have done that it would be a best seller, but it would take years to explain it all in a novel but I just don’t have the bandwidth or wherewithal to do that! You have obviously gathered up your truths and gone into the fray, and told the truth, and I couldn’t admire you more for doing that! You don’t know me from Adam, but the one thing I would like to offer you is my editing skills for your posts, skills which have been honed for many many years. I know that this Substack was written while you weren’t feeling well, but I have an exceptional editing background and would be more than happy to review any of your copy or posts for grammatical or punctuation errors, etc. gratis, of course, simply because I love what you’re doing and believe in you. Just a thought, but offered in love and support. I consider myself a card carrying member of the Grammar Police 🤣 and would happily post my favorite photo of it here if I could! That said, you can write me off, but know that I truly appreciate all that you’re doing to help bring this country back to democracy, civility, justice and reality and stay away from the devastating damage that Donald Trump would do to it. Feel better! Hugs! Cathleen.🥰❤️🙏

Your post is terrific, Cathleen. I’ve noticed, similarly, that proofreading is in decline these days and there’s some extra effort required to decode articles here and elsewhere. My grandmother, who made a living selling encyclopedias door to door back in the day as well as teaching English in public schools, was insistent with me and others upon using proper grammar. Here’s seconding your suggestion, which you offered in the kindest way. Meanwhile, Mary has earned the highest respect and admiration for the ceaseless devotion of her outspokenness from an actual insider’s perspective about the unfortunate evil monster in our midst. Thank you Mary!!

What a lovely grammar policewoman you are! At 75 I am needing someone to edit my conversations! No filter left. Wanna move to Colorado? 🤣🤣🤣
