White House Walk of Shame

Posted on December 19, 2025 | Leave a comment

President #48 Walk of Fame to Oval Office, redesignation of TRUMP PLAQUE

Framed Photo: Trump condoms “I’m Huuuuuge!

Donald J Trump was elected twice. A convicted sexual predator, he sullied the nation by being the first White House occupant convicted of multiple (34) felonies, who encouraged his children to follow his example by shaking down world leaders and rich folks with business before the U.S. government for money to vastly enrich his family personally; thus contravening our Constitution, laws and presidential norms.

He proudly brought overt hatred of everyone not a rich, white, heterosexual, Republican, Christian male into the White House and therefore, American revisionist history. His abject loathing of all (but subservient) women, Blacks, minorities, the disabled, veterans and all Democrats was foisted on the American people as acceptable and desired behavior.

Notoriously thin-skinned as  late-in-life politician, he spent most of his second term exacting retribution against anyone who might have once crossed his path and irked him in any way. Military heroes, astronauts, comedians, no-one was safe from his IRS, DOJ, Pentagon, mortgage lending arms or FCC. Entire states were denied federal funds because they had a Democrat as a governor, and he took great pride in his efforts to divide our country against itself

He brought his real estate expertise to bear, changing Washington, D.C. regardless of zoning laws, historical considerations, funds needed or how his changes affected the American people who own all these structures. His particular style blends rococo and tyrant chic and while he would never admit to having been inspired by anyone, his muses include worldwide wrestling, Liberace and in his “Je ne sais quoi” attitude, Marie Antoinette.

Early influences were mob lawyer Roy Cohn and the most notorious pedophile the world has ever known, Jeffrey Epstein, he knew in his “gut” to only learn from the best. Known for rewarding loyalty over competence, both his terms courted disaster for the nation’s democracy and rule of law.

To experience Trump’s Washington, visit the newly-gilded Trump-Washington monument, the Trumponian Institution (formerly the Smithsonian) and the Arc de Trump. The Trump Ballroom, his signature work, was nearing completion when a giant sinkhole suddenly ate it, all 875,000 sf of it. The current administration has invited all Americans who have lost their Medicare, Medicaid and SNAP benefits to pan for gold in the sinkhole (all the gilded Oval Office decorations were tossed in for good measure). When every last shred of gold is gone, the former East Wing will be rebuilt under the guidance of historic preservationists and a Blue Ribbon panel of former First Ladies.

Health Care Crisis

Posted on November 22, 2025 | Leave a comment

Here’s a letter I just sent my Congressman (my senators are useless). If you feel the same way, feel free to use parts of it as needed.

Dear Sir:

First of all, thank you for voting to release the Epstein files. These survivors were not molested by Republicans or Democrats, but by rich, entitled men (and Ms. Maxwell) who have been accustomed to having a lifetime of transgressions swept under the rug. It’s nice to know that there is some common ground inside the Beltway.

That said, I know that President Trump hates “Obamacare” and wants to kill any idea that particular president put forth. My answer? Fix it, don’t kill it.

[Insert personal – fact-based and apolitical – reason why this issue is important to you and your family. I used availability and affordability, plus loss in a poor county of both Medicaid and SNAP which are relied upon heavily here, that my husband and I will make it through but many here won’t, and that when housing and food are issues one $2K check from the government is not going to go to preventive health care.]

You know these people depend on you. The vast majority of them voted for you. Please don’t leave them behind.

Finding fixes to the ACA or a full-scale replacement requires time, dedication and honest conversations across the aisle. Unless and until Congress is willing to do that, please extend the subsidies. The ACA was years in the making and required a sustained, concerted effort by many talented government folks. A quick fix in terms of a $2K check would be an insult to the people who depend on you and your colleagues to do the best for us, the citizens of the great state of Texas.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Peace At Any Price

Posted on October 11, 2025 | Leave a comment

I commend the choice of Ms. Machado for the Nobel Peace Prize. There is a vast difference in wanting peace and solely wanting a peace prize.

Ms. Machado is a champion of her people, trying to bring democracy to a dictatorship while hiding in fear for her life. No doubt the prize money will be used to help in her herculean efforts.

Donald Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize for any number of reasons, the ones I can think of offhand are that: Obama has one; he wants another picture on his wall and if the prize is not solid gold, to gild it so it’s a matching set with all his other Oval Office tchotchkes; and he wants to be able to say that the Nobel Committee supports with its “sponsorship” his tacky ginormous ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never see, and that has no place on the White House grounds.

Lasting peace is something world leaders (many not elected) work tirelessly to attain, then to keep. Trump sees it as a five minute effort with perhaps a handshake and details to be ironed out later, that includes a big personal pot of gold for him and his equally greedy family.

“Winning” a Nobel Peace Prize while bombing countries, also boats in international waters, unconstitutionally tossing out the U.S. Constitution when it’s nettlesome (habeas corpus, free speech) and instilling fear in Americans everywhere apparently doesn’t fly with the Nobel powers that be. Bullying and outright lobbying for the honor is tacky and beneath the office of the presidency. So does alienating our neighbors and other allies, and leaving sick and hungry people in poor countries to die of disease and starvation after years of consistent support. Our president demeans our great nation and all Americans when he acts this way.

He’s not in it for the peace, he’s only in it for a prize. What a shame. Namaste, Dee

Another School Shooting

Posted on September 15, 2025 | 1 comment

with a couple of twists. First, the target, a speaker instead of random students. Second, the Keystone Kops response.

Yes, a non-elected political personage was shot and killed. It should not have happened in such an “enlightened” society as ours, except that our gun laws are incredibly lax and allow those with criminal or crazy impulses to easily acquire firearms.

Second, the response was a lesson in how NOT to conduct an investigation. Instead we got an audition for a painfully inept cop show with the FBI director submitting a demo tape for the role of local police chief. And, not to be left out, POTUS himself submitting a demo for police department spokesperson. One writer said that Kash Patel swooped in to impress his “audience of one.” Said author did not say that this is exactly what Dear Leader wants! As a matter of fact, POTUS wanted to get to the mic first.

Then, back in his seat as POTUS Donald Trump maligned the entire half of the country’s active voters who didn’t vote for him, threatened all our first amendment rights (and the right to work and live in our communities) in favor of the second amendment to hunt us down, fire us and kick us off social media for life.

Everyone knows when there’s a disaster, the locals come first and investigate the crime or get on top of the severe weather situation and take care of the survivors of both human-caused and other situations. Similarly, it is also common knowledge that doctors are cautioned, even prohibited, from treating family and friends in order to keep strong emotions at bay.

Now when on a deserted isle and a loved one is bitten by a poisonous snake, the doctor has to act. And when the family returns home safe and sound, no medical board is going to take the doc’s license. Here, in an assassination situation that to this point is a local and state issue, not a federal one, it’s time for POTUS and FBI to step back and let the professionals do what they do best.

What I want from my president in, say, a global pandemic, is to assure the people that he is going to find the problem, get his best people on it and fix it. In the meantime he wants us to stay safe by doing A, B and C. Not to say, if you get the plague and your neighbor is a Democrat, go visit him right away and get his whole family sick. Then I’ll give you the antidote but not them. That way we’ll win the next election and anoint my family as royalty and no longer have elections. And that pesky Constitution can go the way of the dodo.

But what does POTUS do? Ask for millions to beef up his security and, presumably, that of the few federal judges he still likes. Not call for putting down arms or the need for peaceful dialogue, instead let’s kill the bastids and make sure all Democratic donors are shut down so the money is turned off for my opponents and everything will always and forever be about me me me me me.

And Congress? They now want millions for personal security as well, because people don’t like that the Republican trifecta just stole their bank accounts and made sure their children could never afford college or a home of their own. “We can’t hold town halls because people yell at us! They must be paid by George Soros to be here!” We need 24/7 security teams.”

What has changed since last Wednesday? A man was killed, and his killer will go on trial and he’ll probably be jailed for the rest of his long life, setting an appropriate example for others who might be contemplating their own 15 minutes of fame. Law enforcement did their job. The criminal justice system will do the rest. It’s time to turn down the heat, people. Fewer guns, not more. Talk, not violence. To ALL our elected representatives: take stock; be rational; be calm; call for unity and understanding; and, breathe…..

We are the people of the United States of America. We can, and must, do better. All of us. My thoughts go out to yet another grieving family. Dee

The “Haves,” Well, Just “Have”

Posted on June 6, 2025 | Leave a comment

In certain civilized nations, people just have health insurance. From the moment they’re born, they have health insurance, which means that the mother, who just gave birth, delivered this baby under health insurance. Amazing. For a long time I thought it normal that Anericans had their health insurance tied to their job.

Members of Congress used to be part of the Federal Employee Health Benefit Program (FEHBP) which was quite generous, more so than the current gold-level “Obamacare” they have now and would revert to if they were able to ban the ACA for their own purposes. Regardless, we pay for 72% of their premiums. Plus they get free or low-cost care from the Office of the Attending Physician and free care at any military outpatient facility in the Washington D.C. area. We don’t get any of that.

When Sen. Joni Ernst tells us that we’re all going to die, she means that she won’t die until she’s ninety or so, while it’s OK for the rest of us suckers and losers to die in childbirth, from a congenital disease or the measles as a child, a freak accident in our twenties, or a sudden heart attack in our forties. That’s ok, life’s just a roll of the dice unless you’re rich or in Congress (or both, as if often the case).

Other elected officials tell us that we have to “justify ouselves” in order to get health insurance. or “it’s up to us” to keep our Medicaid health insurance. A few years ago, before I reached retirement age, one piece of advice was incredibly cruel, that senior citizens are “a waste of food.” During COVID some politicians wanted seniors to just die because we were going to anyway. They called it ‘herd immunity” and of course seniors and poor folk, first to go, what a shame Grandma’s gone.

Some of our evengelical brethren will do anything to bring a fetus into the world, then don’t give a hoot if a home, food, or healthcare await to enable the resulting baby to survive in the world. What kind of Christianity is that? This so-called beautiful bill wants to reward mothers for having children but its authors have no idea of what it costs for a normal hospital birth, much less a caesarean or birth under less than ideal conditions such as a preemie. Forget the costs of car seats, strollers, food, clothing and, gulp, college.

But Congress and the president aren’t cutting health care for anyone in this beautiful bill, correct? They’re just going to flood Medicaid recipients with enough complicated forms that no normal person could possibly fill out and keep to new, unreasonable deadlines. Then it’s our fault if we get kicked off and miraculously save the government $900 million. No blame here but for us voters.

The $500 billion that will automatically be cut from Medicare the moment this bill is signed into law? That wasn’t in the bill. It’s in the PAYGO trip wire that the bill is causing to our debt level. So Congress isn’t cutting anything, really, it’s just up to us to figure out their new byzantine system. Imagine what Stephen Miller can envision now that Elon Musk has skipped town with his wife in tow. What, he has more time on his hands and can punish all of us to make up for his pain. Think kids in cages was bad? Imagine what’s next.

Please write your Senators and Representatives about this awful bill. You can look them up by googling who’s my representative and putting in your zip code. It’s that easy. Just say why health insurance is important to you and your family. Perhaps mention that the 2017 tax cut for the rich isn’t a priority for you and reducing the deficit is, without hurting poor people’s health and keeping food stamps from hungry kids. And while you’re at it, ask them to cut the part about the federal judiciary. Judges don’t have an army, but they need to be able to penalize for non-compliance with their orders otherwise why have a judiciary at all? Please take time out from the joys of watching the Trump/Musk slug-fest and write a letter. Thanks, Dee

Letter to Congress Rep. on House Budget Bill

Posted on June 5, 2025 | Leave a comment

By now I’m certain you’ve read the Big Beautiful Bill you voted to pass last week. Perhaps you missed a few things that I, as a new resident of your district, have looked into. First of all, this bill does too much, but it certainly succeeds in taking from the poor and giving to the rich.

I’ve read that your district has a higher poverty rate than Texas as a whole. And that 16.4% of your constituents are on Medicaid now, and 16.2% have no health insurance at all. This bill, H.R.1, also trips the PAYGO wire, automatically triggering $500 billion in cuts to Medicare, which I’ve been on for the past year since I turned 65. That is a serious concern to me and a lot of people I’ve met here in X County.

Here, the poverty rate in 2023 was 20,9%, yes, abysmal. At an orientation to help kindergarten and first grade students read at X Elementary next school year, I also learned that 97% of the children there are eligible for free lunches. Having suffered two bouts of bacterial pneumonia this past March and April, I found out that the patient:clinician rate in the County is 5,998:1.

That said, going with the flow and voting to lower the tax rates of the rich while placing the burden on your constituents may not be the best recipe for your congressional career. I know the “party line” is that no-one will be kicked off Medicaid (but there’s still a “savings” of $900 billion) and that Medicare will not be touched (but it will, it’s not in the bill but PAYGO kicks in and decimates Medicare). Our rural healthcare will leave here, nursing homes will close due to lack of Medicaid funding, and additional work requirements for both Medicaid and SNAP will render your people hungry as well.

The bill also cuts the legs off the federal judiciary, rendering them unable to secure judgements. The Republican Party is also moving along a bill to cede Congressional power to the Executive to single-handedly “reorganize” the entire federal government, close departments and ignore your carefully worded laws willy-nilly.  Watch, at the last minute, it’ll be folded into this omnibus bill and we’ll no longer have separation of powers, and you won’t have a job either. 

At 22, I became a legislative analyst for the NY State Assembly Speaker, writing laws that affected over thirty million people. Having grown wiser with age, I use both my age and experience to help people (and animals) in need. I don’t know how long I’ll be here but you’ll find me helping young students read in the Fall, and doing whatever else I can to help the folks here mitigate the negative effects about to be imposed on them by the officials they elected to represent them.

Please reconsider your vote on the bill as written. Thank you.

Note to Dear Readers: Write now! I’m coming up with a pilot program for rural areas but need local buy-in and being a Northerner, and female, down here isn’t exactly an asset. It’s worth a try if it means doing my part to save our country. Let’s do the work, folks. If our government reps were able to talk to each other and compromise we wouldn’t have to suffer idiocy and subject our kids and grandkids to huge budget deficits. Dee

Just Plane Grift

Posted on May 12, 2025 | Leave a comment

I think we’re overloading our courts these days with much unconstitutional stream of consciousness from the White House disguised as executive “laws.” Normally there is an office of ethics attached to the Oval Office and an inspector general in most departments, if not all. They try to keep things on an even keel, but no, in this administration they’ve all been conveniently fired.

Accepting a $400 million plane from a foreign country for the president’s exclusive use, then GIVING it to him as a “golden parachute” to use for the rest of his life, with probably another couple hundred million upgrades tacked on for DOD/Secret Service must-haves, is just ludicrous. Illegal as hell, and criminally stupid.

Is this why Trump campaigned on “no tax on tips?” Four hundred million is a heck of a tip, Mr. President.

There are other reasons not to accept this bribe from Qatar, mainly involving national security. I’m sure Mr. Trump has never been a devotee of ancient myth or even Aesop’s fables, lest he take the morals of the stories to heart. You see, there was something called a Trojan horse. It was given as a beautiful gift, only to have the enemy’s army spill out from it’s insides and seize the day surreptitiously.

America decides how its president will get from place to place and with what security precautions, because safe leaders make for a safer country. I don’t know what security measures are on Air Force One, because I’m not supposed to know. ‘Nuff said. We don’t allow foreign nationals, royal families, to provide us with secure transportation for our president. That’s our job.

Acceptance of this gift would pose a severe ethical problem. I disagree with SCOTUS in its decision to allow and encourage dark money in elections as I believe all donors should be open and above board in public elections for publicly held office. That’s the reason we have FOIA and Open Meetings laws. What’s necessary now is for Congress to beef up transparency of money in politics, adding to the law provisions for self-funded presidential transition operations, inaugural committees and presidential libraries.

Why is the cabinet stuffed with billionaires who know nothing about the subject matter of their agencies? Grift, access to power and rolling back regulations on their individual industries. Look what Elon Musk’s several months slashing and burning government agencies has gotten him in terms of preferential treatment, his businesses are taking government contracts and easing regulations. His initial Trumpian investment of $200 million for the 2024 general election will be repaid in spades.

Forget about draining the swamp. The White House and this particular administration is the swampiest ever, with “mistakes” of having ethical people on board for Trump I conspicuously absent for the constant grift present in Trump II.

As to Qatar, thanks for the offer, but should be just a plane “no” from the White House. Oh, and Congressional leadership, you’d better wake up and start doing your job soon, or you won’t have one to come back to. Just a thought. Register to vote, and sign up everyone you know. Sanity and ethics must prevail. Dee

My Social Security

Posted on March 24, 2025 | Leave a comment

I’d just turned eleven when my youngest sister was born. Has nothing to do with anything but I used it to do more than just (unpaid) weekly chores from the Job Jar. I convinced my parents to hire me, as we were living ten miles outside of town, as their babysitter when they had to go to campus events. Fifty cents an hour to take care of my three year-old bro and the baby. Not bad as I was only getting fifty cents allowance per week!

At sixteen I got my working papers so I could get a real job during summers. Weeknights and weekends I was the neighborhood’s pre-eminent babysitter (having so many years valuable experience) and the price was now $1/hr. Now I was ready for big stuff, like teaching gymnastics and doing work for the college admissions office part-time. There was one part of my check receipt I didn’t understand. It was explained to me that by paying into this fund, when I was old I could get something called Social Security.

Fast forward to two years ago and there were serious decisions to be made, as serious as where to go to college and whom to marry. Infinite choices involving Medicare, and luckily we had a referral to a great broker who saw us through the decision-making process. Then when to take Social Security and I decided on my 65th birthday, and it actually started a couple of months later.

Interestingly, when I was indeed eligible, I got to sign into a portal called My Social Security. How quaint. Finally being able to see what I’d been paying for all these years. Then Donald Trump was elected. He still said he wouldn’t touch Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid, but I didn’t believe anything he said his first term (or as early as the 1980’s when I was in NYC’s real estate industry).

Now Elon Musk is taking his chainsaw to the federal government and calls Social Security a Ponzi scheme. The acting director of the Social Security Administration says if Musk’s Minions can’t get access to my work, salary and healthcare history and other personal data he’ll lock SSA employees out of the computer systems and checks will stop going out. And billionaire Commerce secretary Lutnick says if anyone who doesn’t get a check in the mail calls to ask whey, they’re a fraudster.

But I’ve only been on it for a little over a year! After I’m done with automatic deductions for Medicare parts A, B and D there are only a few hundred dollars that usually goes for dog food and care (even the new rescue) and some bills. Yes, I would miss the payments if they were not received, and no, I am not a criminal, just a long-term payer into MY Social Security.

Congress, stop sitting on your thumbs and do something! Trump won with 75 million votes. At least 72.5 million Americans are on Social Security. Get it? We vote.

Telling us we can’t arrange for Social Security benefits without coming into an office is fine. Just don’t shut down the offices and turn off the phones. Is that really too much to ask? You should be more concerned about fraudsters using SSA info to scam seniors out of their checks than internal fraud. And how about the Musk Minions let loose around our sensitive information at the SSA? They’re not vetted or trained. And they care not a whit about our privacy.

Today, it was reported that our VP, the heads of military and intelligence agencies conducted a clandestine attack and planned it not over secure government means, but on a private system that included a reporter! Battle plans and all from DOD’s Pete Hegseth. There’s an arrogance and ignorance here that is heart-stopping. National security, privacy and public records laws broken willy nilly. This entire charade must stop. Dee

Audiences of One

Posted on March 1, 2025 | Leave a comment

They’re a dangerous thing. Remember in Trump I, let’s say a lawmaker introduced a bill to name a bridge or holiday after our Dear Leader. That was pandering to an Audience of One. Alternatively, when Trump I chose to be needlessly cruel to [insert minority group name here] he was just “pandering to his base.”

Yesterday a new monster arrived on scene in Trump II. VP “Divan” Vance began a cruel attack on an ally trying to save his people with our and many nations’ assistance from a dictator who illegally attacked it three years ago. It was a calculated smear, and being Trump, of course filmed in its entirety in the Oval Office. Beneath our Prez and VP? Perish the thought!

The attack on Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukraine was designed for a new Audience of One, Russia’s top spy Vladimir Putin, who is vaingloriously attempting to reunite the USSR as his legacy.

There are 330 million of us in the United States of America. We’ve chosen someone to lead our country who has just made a 180 degree turn in our decades-long foreign policy in order to cozy up to dictators instead of stand steadfast with our democratic allies. On television, for all to see.

What to make of it? Is it all a ploy in “the art of the deal?” I think not. It is not a peaceful maneuver in any way, shape or form. I see dollar signs where Russia’s currently held Ukraine territory contains more rare earth minerals than the parts of Ukraine that Ukraine still possesses and believe that these these sharks smell both blood and money in the water, or land as it may be.

When the president of the United States floats an AI vision of Trump’s Gaza resort with a gold statue of Trump, Elon Musk eating (?), and Trump and Putin on lounge chairs in the sun, we’re seeing a pretty rosy retirement for Messrs. Trump and Putin.

Add billions more in the U.S. from the working poor and disabled currently utilizing Medicaid and the rich will get even richer. Why not go whole hog and decimate Social Security and Medicare as well to get your tax cut for billionaires? As it is, elected Republicans are getting their feelings hurt so are being advised not to hold town halls in their districts that feature the general unease, incredulity and sometimes genuine horror of their gerrymandered voters.

Presidents are supposed to represent we, the people, not foreign dictators. Until now, that wasn’t too much to ask of our highest elected official. Suing to get our country back is not enough. As one of we the people, I’m fed up. Dee

MAGA Glee

Posted on February 28, 2025 | Leave a comment

OK, I understand celebration of a successful election. I get it, having worked on a few myself, mainly the un-sexy parts of addressing mailers, doing neighborhood “lit drops” and doing door-to-door canvassing the last few weeks of a campaign.

This has gone too far. The willy-nilly purging of the federal administration as a “cover” for a multi-trillion dollar tax cut for the rich is not only illegal, it’s downright ugly. In order to demonstrate the evil-ness of federal workers and undocumented foreigners, the Trump administration has to liken them to Satan-worshippers or pet-eaters. And document everything in ICE reality shows with Kristi Noem or Phil Donahue. How about a gauntlet for fired employees at the exit of the federal building where they worked fifteen minutes ago, with whips and chains and video cameras to document everything?

Being fired is horrible. Being purposely made “other” by the purported Trump “waste-cutters” is outright wrong. Belittling federal workers as absent, do-nothings who don’t deserve a paycheck is mean. Imagine that you’re fired from your job. Do you want people on the streets and in print and video saying you deserved it for trying to cure Alzheimers, predicting what types of flu need to be protected against in next year’s vaccine, or how the weather might conspire to create massive hurricanes, droughts or wildfires in the future?

Imagine if it were cancer, instead of losing one’s job. Would you and your friends gather round and cheer that Jerry has cancer! Yea! He deserved it. Why? He borrowed one of my rakes fifteen years ago and when he brought it back it was bent. So he doesn’t deserve to live. Who cares about his wife and kids?

I don’t know many federal employees, but the ones I interact with most frequently are postal workers, at the main or satellite offices, or more often in the neighborhood delivering mail. Over the years they’ve all been very kind to me, even though I was nearly always walking a dog at the time of our encounters. And if I didn’t trust my own judgment of them, I do trust that of a dog. Dogs just know. My dogs have always loved our mail carriers, and have even sought them out on the street away from our home just to say hello.

[On a related note I believe it essential to have a dog to suss out your kid’s friends, and especially first dates as a teen, because they know who can be trusted and who cannot! Well, my last dog had one flaw in that regard. We were living 1/4 mile from downtown Houston with a great view of the skyline so there were always groups of foreign tourists milling around taking photos. She didn’t like people who walked with no immediate sense of purpose, amblers. Nope. But other than that, she was spot-on!]

Cheering the misfortune of fired federal workers is un-American. So please stop. They’re just regular people going about their jobs, which they deserve to get paid to perform. There is no “deep state” but there are laws that must be followed in order to fire certain workers and this politicized scattershot effort is not it, sending out form letters telling every probationary employee that their work is sub-par, sometimes not even addressed by name. Even after receiving awards and stellar reviews, probationary employees have all received the same form letter criticizing their performance and making it nearly impossible for them to gain future employment anywhere.

That’s not US, the United States. We don’t do that to people who take lower salaries in order to serve the public. You won the election. The time for gloating is over, and for blaming Joe Biden for everything that happens between sunup and sundown every day forward. The hard work of governing begins now (I’m talking about YOU, Congress, with the power of the purse that you’re not even pretending to defend). With great power comes great responsibility. Only if the Republicans are in the minority can they just say a big fat “NO” to every potential solution to America’s problems, like reducing the price of eggs. Get to work, and address the real needs of the American people, not just being fawning members of the Musk/Trump Retribution Tour’s Official Fan Club. Dee
