Hello, separation of executive, legislative and judicial branches? Un-Constitutional much? I'm appalled that one petty little man, who despite his tantrums to the contrary, did not win the popular vote. There are huge segments of the population who think his edicts are either wrong-minded or illegal, but I totally digress and should probably delete this response. <br />The rapid fire barrage of head-spinning edicts have left the country reeling and so many of the nuances are glossed over in the overwhelming emotional impact. My only hope is the activism continues and more of the Republican Congress blocks his attempts to be king - to be legislator, executive, judge, jury and executioner (because torture - ahem DOESN'T - work ya know).. <br />So yes, I'll read my Rita books and attempt to tell stories that entertain...while doing what I can to exercise my Constitutional rights to protest policies I disagree with.<br />CathyPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671747592743029540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-29400958281460217162017-01-30T13:20:14.476-08:002017-01-30T13:20:14.476-08:00Hi Jean,

Sometimes I need to disappear into my hidey-hole and hibernate (a.k.a., read). ;)Anne Marie Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603878676306179018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-10670191006030510732017-01-30T05:39:31.479-08:002017-01-30T05:39:31.479-08:00Well, you spoke for me, Dee J.
