Your weekly posts always cheer me up, dear. . .and don't we need it after this week? Seriously, Trump gets more dangerous and destructive by the hour. How can his supporters not see that if he will be behave this way (refusing to accept the results of a fair legislative process, being vindictive and anti-Constitutional) about some things, he'll be that way about all things. . .including whatever things his supporters want? The only thing that worries me more than Trump is the even more dangerous people who are pulling his puppet strings: they are no less immoral and destructive, but they're savvier and less unstable. They'll do more damage in the long run.

Meanwhile, I am enjoying your links. Got 32 on the history and 100% of the grammar (those things always make me nervous, English teacher that I am :))

I haven't watched Discovery yet (waiting to do so with my partner over Thanksgiving; you may or may not know that we met in a ST:Voyager chat room). But I'm looking forward to it!

"They'll do more damage in the long run."

That's unless Trump nukes us all first, of course.

Ugh, always a possibility. :((

OMG, I certainly needed something cheerful after watching the news.
I know we say this every week, but I keep thinking surely he can't get any worse, and then he does. *sigh*
His supporters are a mystery to me. I don't understand them, and this may make me a terrible person, but I don't think I want to understand them. :/
And yes, I imagine there are more venal, evil, amoral people backing him, and that frightens me to no end. :(

Ooh, you aced the history, go you! And of course you rocked the grammar. :)

I didn't know that! Awww, that's sweet. I love when geeky things bring people together. I will be interested in your impressions of Discovery. :)
