‘A mob-boss president who promises protection for loyalists and punishment for anyone perceived to be disloyal. ‘ So true! Really thought provoking piece of writing.

Now, the feeling here in NE, expressed in both hushed or agitated voices, is more like being on a rough sea in a dreadnought, captained by a glory-seeker, hauling us wave by wave into a new uncharted sea. What’s most disconcerting is that the Admirals stand safe on shore, happy to have us sail on to our own peril. I’m halting to think that our only liberation will be in lifeboats.
