What are our thoughts about, what are we praying for?
Well, one of my friends posted this simple answer on Facebook.

Richard Engel's discussion of Wilbur Ross' ties to Putin --
Hope MSNBC will quickly make video available. Chilling in its implications.
Engel says watch for more at 6pm.

FROM HELEN:
Margaret, what the hell is happening? Nazis are fine people. Russia poked me on Facebook. The Real Housewives of Trump Tower are fighting over whos the real First Lady. And now the Civil War wasnt about slavery. Has everyone gone insane?
We had an opportunity to have an honest conversation about racism and once again Trump screwed it up. Those football players are kneeling for a reason and it has nothing to do with the flag. And then we had an opportunity to have an honest conversation about gun violence and once again the Republican Party made it about turned it into changed the topic to wait a minute. They didnt do anything. They just left it hanging out there. Its just bat shit crazy if you ask me.
And now we are debating the civil war? Again? I know for damn sure we had that conversation a long time ago and it ended with freeing the slaves and a dead president. Compromise? John Kelly says it was about lack of compromise? General Kelly, with all due respect, what was the acceptable compromise? The South could keep the slaves, but they had to give them weekends off? My God is anyone in the Trump White House not a racist? Theyve got more white sheets than a Motel 6 in Pulaski, Tennessee.
The other day I saw John Kasich on TV talking about his dissatisfaction with the Republican Party and I thought maybe we could find something to agree upon. But then he said that he had no idea what Democrats stood for and I was reminded that Kasich is still an asshat.
Mr. Kasich here is what Democrats stand for. Its not a secret.

The scariest thing about Halloween (Margaret and Helen)
The scariest thing about Halloween was the Jack O Lantern in the Oval Office or maybe it was the White Sheets. #DumpTrumpFROM HELEN:
