I live in a soon-to-be-embattled free state in an otherwise occupied country.

That's how most days feel.

However -- I believe that there are more of us than there are of them, and that history can turn in a day, and that sooner or later we will prevail.

And when we do, I believe this catastrophe will result in the nation taking a far more serious approach to our election process.

I also think Russia will regret this. I consider them a terrorist gang now, and a clear and present danger to the United States.

May we live to learn this lesson.

No one believes these particular primates have boundaries. It's going to be a fight.

Proud of my state and governor.

It was razor thin in MI. If you add up our HRC and other 3rd party candidates, Dump lost by about 250,000 votes.

It will flip back in 2020, if we have a national election...

Isn't this a time
A time to try the soul of man
Isn't this a terrible time?

Isn't this a time
A time to free the soul of man
Isn't this a wonderful time?

And those that allowed it to happen - Trump, McConnell, Tillerson - to be enemies of the state.
