There must be something wrong with me. That speech didn't seem any crazier than the first one delivered in 2015 after the descent by elevator into our present hell.
Rick, you again are touching a cord in this essay. And when you get to the part where you mention your granddaughter, you bring us to the highest on high of spirit and love. We all know what that is. Thanks for the reminder to enjoy our loved ones this Christmas, Chanukah, and Kwanza. When the peril is gone, I will be in
Washington with a putty knife scraping the Kennedy Center and all the gold on the White House walls. Happy New Year!
Thank you, Rick. I think you are right. The curtain has been pulled back, and we see at last that the wizard is a small shriveled shell of a very mortal man. Yes, ICE, the embodiment of his hate, is still out there kidnapping decent people and throwing them into fetid, overcrowded hell-holes. And our military in the Caribbean is still blowing what might be innocent people in boats to pieces. But I think these things will end. Every time those things happen, the party behind Trump loses a bit more of whatever is left of its fragile legitimacy.
Can we possibly be ? - as we end this hard year - as Churchill said in 1942 - “Now is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
We are in this fight together. We will win! People of Goodwill Unite! 🎄♥️🎄
Trump s hate is DEEP AND THERE IS NOTHING TO CURE IT NO HEART OR SOUL—— HE IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER DISGRACE A LOSER AND LOVES DEVIANT AND CRUELTY TO OTHERS ALMOST AS MUCH AS HE LOVES MONEY AND POWER!! His children are CUT IN THE SAME UGLY SELFISH WAY AND WOULD KILL EACH ORHER IF THOUGHT THE OTHER GOT MORE THAN THEMSELVES!!! DESTROYING PEOPLE AND FAMILIES AND COUNTRIES IS A GAME TO THIS GROUP LOOK AT THE REPUBS!!!!! THE ONLY THING THEY ARE AFRAID OF IS MISSING OUT ON MONEY AND POWER!!!! NO MORE EXCUSES PLEASE…..
This is late, Synclavier Zappa, a favorite Zappa of mine. Bear in mind that _every single note_ was typed in as numbers, numbers for _everything,_ at an 80s-syle command prompt.
In other news, Elise Stefanik is a resigning ;). The Tracy Flick of the NY GOP bent as far over as she could, did the Ozempic, got the glow up, fired her staff and had a MAGA kid run her office -- and all she got for it was the kind of serial humiliation that I hope is in store for Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi ;)
Rick, I can’t tell you how much you are appreciated here on Substack, and I look forward to your comments as they are the cornerstone of any great breakfast! Wish you and your loved ones the best Christmas and happiest New Year. Your words carry much wisdom from that clear thinking head of yours, and your sharp wit never fails to impress.

I agree about the every morning "what fresh hell" but can't forget that nearly half the country wanted it and who knows how many still do.
Thank you Rick , for your words as always on target. Enjoy the holiday festivities 🎄with family & friends

This was incredibly moving ... a true gift. Wishing you and your family, a beautiful, abundant and joyful holiday season.
